Pumpkin Roll Relay

Lasso a Pumpkin
Age-Group: K+
Number of Players: Any
Set out a number of pumpkins with stems. Make small lassos by tying rope into loops. Kids try to lasso a pumpkin stem with the loops.
Racing Gourds
Age-Group: Any
Number of Players: Any
Find round gourds with lots of bumps (no stems). Let kids roll them and see whose goes the furthest. Or prop up one end of a long table to make a racetrack. Let kids release (not push) the gourds at the top and see which falls off the end of the table first. It’s a do-over if one falls off the side.
Crazy Pumpkin Bowling

Set up 2-liter bottles as pins. Let children take turns trying to roll small pumpkins as the bowling balls.
