Halloween Party Game: Gross Guessing Game
In this mystery touch-and-feel game, partygoers have to stick their hands in a jar and guess what’s inside. They may think it’s something gross like eyeballs or warts, but it's actually everyday items from your pantry.
This sensory party game is perfect for older kids, tweens and teens. We used plastic jars for our game, but you could also use gift boxes or something similar as long as a hand can fit inside, and you can’t see what’s in there.

3. Add Labels
Print the jar label template onto orange card stock. Cut out the labels using pinking shears so you get jagged edges around the labels. Add double-sided tape to the back of each label and adhere to the front of each jar.

4. Create Answer Sheet
Print one answer sheet for each guest on orange card stock so they can record their guesses.

5. Add Gross Items
Gather the food supplies for the jars. Add each food to the jar just before the party. Lift the lids and let the kids feel each food. They then will make a guess as to what they are feeling on the guessing game template.
