Instructions
  • Instruct children to sit or lie down in a designated area.  
  • Designate one child to be a “pumpkin buyer” and another to be a “pumpkin seller.”
  • Explain the rules of the game:
    • The seller will pick a person to be their pumpkin, but they won’t tell anybody who that person is.
    • The buyer will ask the seller a series of yes or no questions to find out who the pumpkin is. (For example: Pumpkin seller, pumpkin seller, is your pumpkin wearing red?)
    • The seller will respond to each question with a ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’
    • The buyer can guess who the pumpkin is when they are ready.
    • If the buyer is right, he or she becomes the seller, and the pumpkin becomes the buyer.
  • Ask if anyone has any questions before we begin.
  • Exclaim, “Ready? Begin!”
  • Supervise game play for a couple of rounds, as time permits.
  • Instruct youth to find their seats.
  • Ask the following questions to allow youth to reflect on their time together.
    • What did you enjoy about this activity?
    • Would you enjoy playing this game again in the future? Why? Why not?
    • If you could make changes to this game, what would you change?
