This musical chairs type game involves passing small pumpkins and gourds and when the music stops the person without a pumpkin is out.

What To Do: 

Kids sit in a circle and you hand out one less pumpkin then children in the group.
Then instruct the children to start passing the pumpkins when the music begins to play and continue passing until the music stops.

Once the music stops the child without a pumpkin is out of the game.
Now remove a pumpkin from the group and restart the music.
This pattern continues until you have one pumpkin with one winner.

I also played this game where there is only one pumpkin to pass around and when the music stops. The child holding the pumpkin can pick out a Halloween sticker. Then we played til all the children had a stickers.
