Halloween Mystery box rules

The mystery box game involves some preparation. Make your own boxes where you can hide objects to be discovered.

Form teams. The children take turns putting their hands in the boxes to try to guess the contents. Each player makes a guess and the game leader writes it down. When all players have made a guess for each box, the game is over. Each correct guess earns one point. The team with the most points is the winning team.
