Fun Halloween Games
Halloween Games traditionally played at Halloween are forms of divination. In Púicíní (pook-eeny), a game played in Ireland, a blindfolded person is seated in front of a table on which are placed several saucers. The saucers are shuffled and the seated person then chooses one by touch. The contents of the saucer determine the person's life for the following year. A saucer containing earth means someone known to the player will die during the next year, a saucer containing water foretells travel, a coin means new wealth, a bean means poverty. Make sure to send your Halloween Invitations at least two weeks before the party.
