One of the things I like to collect and read are old magazines, especially holiday ones. These games are from a few of the Dennison Party magazine and Bogie books in my collection.

If you're interested in bringing an old time feel to your Halloween party, why not try a few of these games from the 1920s party books.

The magazines suggest that a real "Hallowe'en" party should include all the old-time games that have come down from the time of the Druids and ancient Britons. These old games include Ducking for Apples, Roasting Chestnuts, Cutting the Flour Cake and Pulling a Root of Kale. But no instructions are given for those games, perhaps we need to find an old Druid book for help.

Following are games and descriptions taken directly from the Party Books.
