1. Candy Corn Toss
How to Play:
This one’s basically a sweet twist on a bean bag toss. Line up some cups, bowls, or even plastic pumpkins at varying distances on a table or floor. Each container can have a different point value depending on how far away it is. Players take turns tossing candy corn into the cups and earn points for every one that lands inside.
What You’ll Need:
- Candy corn (lots of it!)
- Plastic cups, bowls, or Halloween buckets
- A marker to label point values
Tip: Want to make it extra fun for a group? Set up a tournament! Kids love cheering each other on, and you can hand out tiny prizes like stickers or Halloween pencils.
2. Candy Corn Stack Challenge
Think you can stack candy corn? It’s harder than it looks!
How to Play:
Give each player a pile of candy corn and one minute on the timer. The goal is to stack as many as possible into a single tower before it topples over. The person with the tallest tower at the end wins.
What You’ll Need:
- Candy corn
- Timer or phone stopwatch
- Flat surface (a table or tray works best)
Bonus Round:
Make it a team challenge who can build the tallest tower together without it falling? It’s a fun way to sneak in teamwork and laughter.
3. Candy Corn Fork Relay
This one’s perfect for classrooms, youth groups, or fall parties outdoors!
How to Play:
Divide players into teams. Each person has to carry a piece of candy corn on a small fork across a short distance and drop it into a bowl at the finish line. Then they run back and hand the spoon to the next teammate. If the candy corn drops, they have to go back to the start!
What You’ll Need:
- Forks (plastic or metal)
- Candy corn
- Two bowls per team (one start, one finish)
The first team to fill their bowl wins! It’s easy to set up and great for burning off some of that candy-fueled energy.
