My kids favorite quick card game is Spoons. They love it! So here is our Halloween version:
- Count the number of players
- Place one less bone in center of circle then there are number of players
- Shuffle the deck of cards
- Deal out four cards to each player
- The Dealer places the deck of cards to his right
- The Dealer then takes the top card, places it in his hand, then chooses a card to discard. The object is to get four of a kind first.
- The Dealer discards a card quickly to the player on the left.
- The Dealers discard pile becomes the player to his/her lefts deck to draw from.
- Then the player on the left repeats to the player on his left, and so on until all the player now have a discard pile and a draw pile.
- Play continues until a player has four of a kind
- At this time the player grabs on of the bones
- Once one player grabs a bone all players quickly grab a bone, one player will not get one and is out for the next round.
- For the next round remove one bone and repeat the above steps until only one player remains.

You could really use any Halloween item in place of bones.
Examples:
Twigs, Halloween Erasers/Pencils would work for big groups.
or
Eyeballs
Feathers
Spiders
Fingers
Mini Pumpkins (remove stems for safety)
