Pumpkin Carving

Supplies:
pumpkins
knives
spoons
newspaper or plastic
tea lights (candles)
matches

Get some pumpkins, either one per person or just a few and assign a small group to each one. If there isn't a budget for pumpkins, ask everyone to bring one for themselves (which generally works better for people, so they get to pick exactly the one that they want for the project they have in mind). Lay out newspapers or plastic to protect your work area. Distribute knives and spoons, and let everyone clean out and carve their pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns.

Everyone can do their own thing, or you can have a theme (celebrity, animal, scary things). You can pick a winner for best pumpkin. When they're all finished, put a candle in each one and light them.

This could turn into a service activity by delivering the finished jack-o'-lanterns to friends, family, teachers or ward members.
