Candy corn is the top-selling
Halloween candy and the most
talked about candy during
Halloween, but it is also talked
about as the worst candy for you.
Candy Corn isnt real corn. It is
almost pure sugar a sweet
imitation of the real thing which
isnt good for us in any way. So its
good, but its bad. How do we
decide what things are good for
us in our Christian life? The most
difficult decisions are often not
between what is good and bad,
but between what is permissible
and what is beneficial to us.

Candy Corn Games
Candy Corn Cluckers Fill a bowl
with dried corn kernels or peanuts
and add several pieces of candy
corn. Blindfolded youth must
retrieve the candy corn from the
bowl within a designate amount of
time without eating the dried corn
kernels / nuts. The teen that
retrieves the most candy corn in
the designated time limit wins.
Candy Corn Pitching Youth take
turns pitching ten to twenty
candy corn kernels, one at a
time, into a bowl from a set
distance. You might choose to
have various bowls of different
sizes and at different distances.
Display the points based upon
difficulty. Keep score of how
many kernels end up in the
various bowls. The winner is the
youth with the highest score
after three rounds.
Odds or Evens - Each player starts
out with the same number of candy
corn kernels. Players rotate about
the room pairing up with others.
When they find a partner, one youth
hides a few kernels of candy corn in
his hand. The other youth must
guess if the number of corn kernels
is odd or even. If guessed correctly,
the player can add the kernels to his
own collection. Youth take turns
hiding and guessing, until one player
has all the corn or until a specified
time limit! [With this game the
candy corn can get a little messy to
avoid the mess use individually
wrapped mints or other candy.]
Candy Corn Drop Have the youth
stand on a sturdy chair or other safe
elevation and drop the pieces down
into a persons mouth who is lying
on the floor. The youth who gets the
most candy corn into the persons
mouth in a given time frame wins.
Candy Corn Hunt Fill small plastic
bags with candy corn and hide them
throughout the yard. Send players
out into the yard to find the bags
until every bag has been claimed.
You may also divide the players up
into groups and see which group can
find the most bags. This game can
also be played inside, or at night
with flashlights.
Candy Corn Toss Place the
pieces of candy corn into a small
sealed sandwich bag or similar
cellophane bag and have a
candy corn bag toss. Number
pails, bowls, or plastic pumpkins,
placing them in a row
perpendicular to A start line, pail
number one being closest. youth
stand behind the line and throw
candy cord bags into each
consecutive bucket. Keep score
or issue prizes for hitting each
target.
Candy Corn Bocce On a smooth
surface like a table, one youth
acts as the referee, sliding out the
first piece of candy corn. He then
marks this piece with a toothpick.
Contestants take turns sliding 4
different pieces as close to the
referees mark as they can. The
referee determines which piece is
the closest, awarding that youth
or team a point. Play until
someone gets ten points.
Corny Scramble Toss handfuls
of candy corn onto a large table
clear of obstacles. Give each
youth a treat bag and make the
scramblers wait until you say
Boo! On the signal, the players
must run forward and collect as
many pieces of candy corn as
possible. Once all the kernels
have been picked up, see who
has the most candy in his bag.
Guess the Kernels Fill a
decorated jar or Halloween treat
pail with pieces of candy corn,
making sure you count how many
pieces you put into the container.
Set the container up on a table
supplied with slips of paper,
pencils and a bucket to put the
paper slips into. Each participant
may take one guess at how many
pieces of candy are inside the
container. The player who
guesses the closest to the actual
amount wins all the candy corn.
Kernel Relay Mark a starting
line and a finish line with
masking tape on the floor
roughly 15 feet apart. Set an
empty bowl for each player at
the finish line and a bag of candy
corn and a spoon at the starting
line. Have each player stand at a
bag of corn and take the spoon in
hand, placing a single kernel on
the spoon. The youth will then
carefully race a piece of corn to
an empty bowl at the finish line,
trying not to let the candy fall off
the spoon.
Each player will continue to race
from the bag of corn to the bowl
to see how many pieces of candy
she or he can get into the bowl
within the allotted time of one
minute. If a player drops a kernel
from the spoon, that youth must
then run back to the bag of candy
corn and get another piece to
start over again.
Candy Corn and Straws Relay
Divide the youth into teams and
give every person on a team a
plastic straw and a paper cup.
Place a piece of candy corn in the
first team members cup. The
youth must create a vacuum in
the straw to pick up the candy
corn and place it into the next
persons cup. First team to get the
candy corn into the last persons
cup wins. If the candy corn is
dropped on the floor, the team
must start completely over at the
beginning.
Wheres the Corn? Line up three
plastic cups out on a tabletop in
front of a youth. Place a single piece
of candy corn under one of the
cups, allowing the player to see
which cup the corn is under. Begin
to change the cups formation
around for five to ten seconds. The
youth then must try to remember
which cup is hiding the candy and
will continue to play and collect
candy corn until he or she chooses
the wrong cup. Give the earned
candy corn to that player, and
continue on with the next player
until every youth has won pieces of
candy.
Candy Corn and Spoons Divide
into teams, have each team to
line up single file, and have a cup
with one or more pieces of candy
corn for each team. Give each
player a spoon. The first player on
each team picks up a piece of
candy corn with the spoon, spins
around in place 3 times, then
passes the candy to the next
person on the team. Candy Corn
can only be touched with the
spoon. If the candy is dropped the
team must start over again from
the beginning. First team to get all
the marbles down the line wins.
Chopsticks and Candy Corn
Using a pair of chopsticks and a
couple shallow bowls or saucers,
each youth is given one minute to
move candy corn from one bowl
to the other using only the
chopsticks. Only one hand can be
used to hold the chopsticks. The
youth to transfer the most candy
corn wins.
Candy Corn Straw Relay Race to
see who could move the most
candy corn from the table into a
bowl in sixty seconds using only a
single straw.
Tick-Tack-Corn Pair the youth up
into groups of two and sit them
down at a table across from each
other. Give the pair a tick-tack-toe
board, and one player a handful of
regular candy corn pieces. The
other youth will receive a handful
of the chocolate variety of candy
corn, making one player the yellow
team and the other player the
brown team. Have the players play
tick-tack-toe using their corn until
one player wins, or until there is a
draw. This may continue for as
many rounds as desired.
Musical Candy Corn Fill treat bags
with candy corn for as many youth as
are playing, minus one. Set the bags
up in a circle on a tabletop or floor.
Have the players circle around the
bags at a steady walking pace while
some music plays. Stop the music at
random, at which point each player
tries to grab the bag closest to him.
Whoever fails to grab a bag or candy
corn in time is out of the game, and
the players still in must set the bags
back up in the circle. Remove one of
the bags from the circle, then start
the music up again. Continue this
until the game is down between two
players and one treat bag. Whoever
snatches up the last bag is the game
winner.
Candy Corn Foosball Have two
youth stand at either end of a
large table. One youth throws
candy corn (or a plastic bag of it)
to the other end of the table,
and the other youth must block
it from going through and
making a goal. Use a dry sponge
for blocking making sure it is one
that will not scratch your table.
Candy Corn Catch Youll need
one plastic pumpkin with a
handle for each team, one bag of
candy corn per team, and a belt
or length of rope for each team.
Use the rope or belt to secure
the pumpkin around the waist of
one player per team. Have the
team member who is wearing
the pumpkin stand about 7 to 10
feet away from the players who
will be throwing the candy corn.
The player wearing the
pumpkin may move around to
try and catch the candy corn as
it is thrown without using their
hands to deflect the candy corn
in any way. Once everyone has
thrown the candy corn, take the
pumpkin and count the candy
corn inside. The youth with the
most candy corn wins
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
MAKE IT SPIRITUAL
What are some of the
differences between real corn
and candy corn?
Which is good for you? Bad for
you?
What other things in life are
good for you? Bad for you?
How do you know the
difference?
Candy corn may not kill you, but it
most certainly is not the best for
you. It may taste sweet, but the
sugar rush doesnt last and it
really isnt something that is good
for you. Corn is healthy and good
for us, but candy corn, is really
just sugar. Its a sweet imitation of
something good. In life there are
many things which may seem
good, but are not good for us.
BUT how can we decide what is
good for us and what is not?
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
Some decisions are not simply a
matter of right and wrong, but a
choice between what is
permissible, what is good, and
what is best. These are often the
toughest decisions.
Here are some guidelines:
Is this action Scripturally
baseddoes Scripture support
or condemn it (Matthew 4:4, 7,
10; I Timothy 3:16-17)?
How would this affect my
witness for Christ if others
knew about it (Matthew 5:13-
16; I Thessalonians 5:21-22)?
Would Jesus put his name on
this for a stamp of approval?
(Colossians 3:17)
Does this fall into the
classification of good thinking?
(Philippians 4:8)
Will this degrade or defile my
body (the temple of the Holy
Spirit)? (I Corinthians 6:19)
Will this sooner or later make a
slave out of me? (I Corinthians
9:27, 2 Peter 2:19)
Does this have the smell of
evil on it? (1 Thessalonians
5:22)
Will my indulgence in this tend
to weaken someones faith? (I
Corinthians 8:13)
Does it benefit us or others? (I
Corinthians 6:12a, 10:23)
Can you do it with a clear
conscience? (Romans 14:22)
Does it bring Glory to God,
meet his approval? (1
Corinthians 6:19-20; 10:31-33;
2 Corinthians 5:9)
Does it help lead others to
Christ? (1 Corinthians 10:33)
Would I be ashamed to be
doing this thing when Christ
returns (Matthew 24:42-46)?
Does this action hurt others
(Romans 14:20-21; Galatians
5:13-15)?
MAKE IT PERSONAL
What are some of the things I
allow as substitutes in my life for
the real things?
Which of the above
considerations is new to me?
Which of the above
considerations is most difficult
for me?
What can I do this week to be
more Christlike?
How can I allow Christ to have
more influence in the daily
decisions of my life?
SCRIPTURE
1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1 So
whether you eat or drink or
whatever you do, do it all for the
glory of God. Do not cause anyone
to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks
or the church of God even as I try
to please everyone in every way.
For I am not seeking my own good
but the good of many, so that they
may be saved. Follow my example,
as I follow the example of Christ.
ROMANS 12:2 Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you
will be able to test and approve
what Gods will is His good,
pleasing and perfect will.
