Any ideas for easy treats for my 2nd Graders Halloween Party at school?
I'm lookin' for cute, inexpensive, and easy.....not too much to ask, huh? LOLOL
Also, need ideas for simple Halloween games.
Answers:
2 vanilla wafers
+
1 miniature peppermint patty
+
shredded sweetened coconut dyed green (use food colouring)
+
a bit of frosting to stick it together, if needed
=
mini "burgers"
You can brush the top wafer with egg white and stick on sesame seeds for added realism, but that brings it out of the realm of "easy."
Easy Peanut Butter Cookies. Kids love them, too.
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Mix ingredients and make into balls. Flatten on cookie sheet with fork dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees about 8 to 10 minutes. Yummy.
How about rice crispy treats for a snack?
I loved rice krispy treats when I was that age, and its really cheap. To make it fun, try putting some orange and black sprinkles on it. It will look festive and taste yummy! For games, the kids could dress up in pretend costumes. This is where the kids don't actually wear costumes, but they pretend to be something/someone. Kind of like Halloween charades for kids. The have to try to get the other kids to figure out what or who they are. Otherwise I would go with a classic...Halloween bingo.
My boys and their friends always liked rice krispie squares over every other snack. I would tint the marshmallows a light orange at Halloween. Also coconut macaroons tinted. Chocolate no-bake cookies with licorice legs to make spiders. Chocolate covered cupcakes with an waffle cone turned upside down on then and covered with chocolate and sprinkles to make a witches hat. Popcorn balls. As far as games, how about pin the nose on the pumpkin. Bobbing for apples. Candy corn bingo.
Here is a website of easy and fun Halloween themed games.

I hope this helped, and you have a great and spooky Halloween.
Well my daughter is in 2nd grade ad she loooves oreos. They make ones with green black and orange cream. Also mini bagels with green creamcheese is delishes. They sell the cream cheese and bagels at einstines or any bagel shop. (pumpkin cream cheese is orange and delicious too) and they sell black punch that tastes good don't worry and you could put gummy worms and gummy eyballs in it and it would be great. And little bags with candy corn licorrice and little halloween toys would be a great goodie bag for the end. Also for games my daughter trenity says and easy project is every one will get orange and black candy and they make pumpkins and halloween pictures with them. Another fun game is there is a peice of cardboard, you cut out holes about the size of these second graders heads and get little bean bags and have them throw them and try to get them in the hole. Well hope that helped.

Ghost Meringues
(makes 12 ghosts)
3 large egg whites, at room temperature1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cream of tartar3/4 cup (188 g) one-to-one sugar substitute, such as Louis Sherry One Spoon Sugar Replacement1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract24 dried currants
Preheat oven to 200°F (130°C).
Line two large, heavy baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) every 30 seconds until meringue holds very stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla.
Spoon meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) plain tip or spoon into a gallon-size (1 l-size) heavy plastic food bag, then cut off 1 corner to make a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) wide opening.
Pipe meringue onto prepared baking sheets into ghost shapes, about 3 inches (3.75 cm) wide and 5 inches (6.25 cm) high. Space ghosts about 2 inches (2.5 cm) apart. Press 2 currants into each ghost to form the eyes.
Bake until meringues begin to turn pale gold and are firm to the touch, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, switching baking sheet positions half way through the baking time. Turn off oven and leave meringues in closed oven for 2 hours. Cool slightly. When just barely warm, slip each ghost into a plastic sandwich bag and tie tops with pieces of orange and black ribbons
