Equipment

  • Pair Of Scissors
  • Glue Gun

Supplies

  • Foam Core or Cardboard
  • Large Plastic Cups
  • Tissue Paper in the colors that work for your design
  • Rubber Bans
  • Prizes need to be light enough so that the cup won't fall off the board.
  • Black Construction Paper
  • Marker

Instructions

Before You Begin

  • Decide on your design. Our board is a Frankenstein theme. See the end of the post for other Halloween party ideas.

Making Your Punch Game

  • Place your prizes into the cups. In our game, each cup has a witch finger, eyeball ping pong ball, and vampire teeth.
  • Pre-cut tissue paper into 7” x 7” squares. For a neater look cut the tissue paper into circles.
  • We layered lime green or darker green with white tissue paper. This will help get the "pop" feel.
  • Wrap rubberbands around cups and tissue paper. Either use two rubberbands or double one band per cup to ensure the paper is tight enough.
  • Cover all of the cups.
  • Once you have planned out the cup layout, add a generous amount of hot glue to each cup and add to the foam core. Hold each cup for a few seconds to let the glue set.
  • Decorate your board. For this Frankenstein design, that meant adding white tissue paper eyes, drawing a nose and mouth with a permanent marker and adding black construction paper hair and bolts.

Notes

  • Leave spaces in between cups so that you can easily reuse the board.
  • Use tape or school glue to lightly attach decorations.
  • Don't glue anything directly to the board if you plan to reuse it for other holidays.
