Instructions
Start by placing your cups on the foam board wherever you want them to go.
1 foam board or large piece of cardboard, 21 large plastic cups
Once you’ve finalized your layout, hot glue the bottom of each cup and immediately place it in its spot on the board. Repeat this until you have a board full of cups with the open part of the cup facing up.
Add a prize into each of the cups.
21 prizes
Place the piece of cardboard or envelope or whatever you want to keep the marker from bleeding through to your table below on your table. Then place a piece of tissue paper on top.
1 piece of cardboard or other thick material, 6 pieces white tissue paper
Draw a small ghost face in the center, or as close to the center, of the tissue paper as possible. Keep them small enough to fit in the space of the cup opening so they make the cups look like little ghosts.
Once your ghosts are all done, carefully place your first ghost face on top of a cup. Use a rubber band to secure the tissue paper around the edges of the cup, pushing the issue paper down to look like the bottom of a ghost. Repeat with all of your ghosts.
21 rubber bands
Set the board up leaning against a wall, fence, or railing and you're ready to play!
Notes
Make your ghost faces dark and filled in rather than light or outlines so they can be seen from a few feet away.Cut your tissue paper into large squares rather than trying to use tiny pieces of paper that just cover the cups. This will make the tissue paper more secure and give you the ghost look.Add a title to your game at the top using a piece of taped on paper with the title rather than writing it directly on the board. This will give you the option to remove it and use the board for something else.Use larger prizes or at least what seems like larger prizes so the cups don’t feel empty.Make two cups per person if you have a small group rather than making a small board. Everyone will be thrilled to shoot through two cups instead of just one.Do two layers of tissue paper if you’re going to just have kids punch rather than shoot to give more of the white color. Stick with just one if you’re shooting through with Nerf guns.
