Get the kids to bob apples while blindfolded - and add one or more realistic, floating toy frogs to the container...

Painting jack-o-lantern jars, using any old glass jar (can be from spaghetti sauce even) without the lid and the label washed off. Just use acrylic paint and they can paint them, then stick candles inside when they get home at night.

For food, mummy dogs (hot dogs wrapped in strings of crescent roll dough), whole clementines with jack-o-lantern faces drawn on, nutter-butter ghosts (whole nutter butter cookies dipped in white candy/chocolate with dots for eyes), chocolate cupcakes (or pudding or whatever) with one of those plastic doll hands (you can get them at the craft store) sticking up out of it like it's coming up out of the grave...

Just some ideas. Sounds like fun!

Oh, also - for food, apple slices (like you would normally) with mini-marshmallows in between so that they look like mouths with teeth. Use parts of toothpicks to hold the apples and marshmallow ensemble together.

or use almonds like this:

for creepier teeth

I also saw them with Candy corn teeth!

Be careful with the bobbing for apples. Back in 2nd grade, before everyone was germaphobic, we did the bobbing for apples without changing the water and with everyone putting their mouths all over the apples. One kid had strep and I KNOW it probably would have spread anyway, but half of us were out of school with strep about 3 days after the apple bobbing.

Can't prove it was the bobbing, but most of the parents got pretty upset with the teacher.
