Game #8: Guess My Halloween Costume

Halloween game

Halloween is coming. It is on October 31st. Do you celebrate Halloween in your country?

In my country, children dress-up in scary, funny, or cute costumes and go door to door shouting "trick-or-treat!" Strangers give them candy! When you think about it, it's pretty crazy that this tradition continues. I say "crazy" because many people don't even know their neighbours' names. Parents teach their children NOT to talk to strangers. At least we're "supposed" to teach them that. Sad, huh?

Children aren't the only ones who dress up in North America. Adults love to dress-up and go to parties. Some adults even dress up in costumes to hand out candy.

To celebrate Halloween, let's play a new game!

How to play:
1. Think of a good costume and imagine yourself stepping into it.
2. What does it look like? What kind of paint, clothing, accessories will you need?
3. Describe your costume (here in the comments or on your own blog)
4. Type "Guess my Halloween costume" at the bottom of your description.
5. Answer, yes or no when players take a guess. Take time to guess other costumes too.

Note: If you write on your own blog, make sure to come back and share the link here in this comment section. Use the title: "Game #8: Guess my Halloween Costume" in your blog title so that more people will find it.

*You can change your costume if someone guesses correctly! (Write another one. You have two parties to go to, don't you?)

Gamer's Costume:
I am wearing a furry jumpsuit with a tail that I bought at the costume store. I have two black circles painted around my eyes. There are red paint streaks all over my jumpsuit. Before I put my jumpsuit on my friend drove over my costume with his big truck. Now I have large tire tracks across my furry back. I added cardboard claws to my black mittens.

Guess my Halloween costume!

Comment by Salim on November 9, 2009 at 5:42pm: You can see wild boars,donkeys,and especially Camels in the south.It's really terrible to see the number of Camels decreasing because of the massacres happening along the high ways built everywhere in the great Algerian desert.

(I know Raccoons,but i thought of a bigger animal because i thought you're a tall man).

Comment by Gamer on November 9, 2009 at 5:22pm: Yes, Salim. I was thinking of a raccoon, though. We also see a lot of skunks who have seen better days on the highways around here. What kind of road kill do you see in your country? Crazy question, I know.

Comment by Salim on November 5, 2009 at 9:10am: I see.So your costume could be a bear,a Gazelle,..........and so on.All animals killed on the road.

Comment by Gamer on November 4, 2009 at 1:59pm: Salim: You give up! I am "road kill". Look this word up if you don't know it. Then come back and share the definition. :)

Comment by Tara Benwell on November 2, 2009 at 5:48pm: Yes, a snake!

Comment by Salim on November 2, 2009 at 8:28am: Gamer,I'm stumped i can't find your costume.

Tara,is your son's costume a snake??

Comment by Tara Benwell on October 30, 2009 at 1:14pm: #2 My son will be wearing a costume with an even longer tail than his sister's. The head of his costume is the most important. There is a long tongue on the mask and tiny scary eyes. The body is covered in a speckled print. He will walk around saying "ssss". This is difficult for him, since he sometimes gets lazy and makes the "th" sound.

Guess my son's Halloween costume!

(I'll share pictures after Halloween.)

Comment by Tara Benwell on October 30, 2009 at 1:11pm: Okay, here's a new one. I have two kids who will be heading out trick-or-treating tomorrow night.
#1
The first one will be wearing a brown outfit with a yellow circle on the front. She'll have a long brown tail. She'll also be wearing a brown knit balaclava. Her mask has big eyes and a wide mouth. She should be scary, but she will be cute. If only I could figure out how to make her neck longer!

Guess my daughter's Halloween costume.

Comment by Gamer on October 30, 2009 at 12:52pm: Nope, not a bear. In fact the animal itself is "not" that important (though I had one in mind if you think about the eyes). Think about what happened to the animal. I'd like to teach a fun word with this one. I'll give you one more day, Salim!
