  3. Candy Horn Stacking: In teams of two, have one player sit or lay down, while the other tries to stack a tower of candy on their forehead like a unicorn horn. Set a timer for a minute and a half and whoever has the largest tower without it getting knocked down at the end wins!

  5. Pin the Horn on the Unicorn: Similar to pin the tail on the unicorn, but different. This time, you’re trying to pin something on the opposite end of the animal, while blindfolded! 
  6. Inflatable Bowling: An easy game to set up in your backyard or basement. Kids are encouraged to knock over all the pins in as many little turns as possible. Roll it, kick it, throw it, or even just run into them! Whatever it takes to get them all knocked down.
