What You’ll Need for This Game

For this game, you’ll need to create simple ‘pumpkin poles’ for the students to stack their spiders on. 🎃 We made ours using a foam pumpkin and a swizzle stick—they looked festive and held up great for play! If you’d like to save money, you can easily swap the pumpkin for a ball of playdough and use a straw instead of a swizzle stick.

Pumpkin Base

- We purchased these foam pumpkins for our base. They were the perfect size and weight.  The stems can easily be removed so that you can insert the swizzle stick. 

Sticks for Pumpkin Base
– These swizzle sticks came in one of the smallest packs we could find, and they fit perfectly into the top of the pumpkin where the stem was removed. For extra stability during play, add a dab of hot glue to keep them secure.

Dice–

These dice  are a nice size and are blank, which is perfect for customization.  You can write directly on the dice with markers, but if you want a more polished look, these stickers fit perfectly on the dice. 

-If you decide to buy the Avery stickers linked above, you can draw directly on the sticker, or you can design stickers to print on Avery.com.  If you would like us to end you our Avery template we would be happy to, just shoot us an email support@myclassroomparty.com.

Game Prep

Using a permanent marker, you will write the following on each side of the dice:

-Add 1, take away 1, take away 1, add 3, add 2, add 2

We tested the game countless times and figured this combination was perfect.
