Halloween Party Games
Having a spooky Halloween party? Try one of these scary Halloween party games. It will be fun and laughs for everyone involved!
Pin the Wart on the Witch
Using black felt material (available from crafts and art supply stores) cut out a witch’s outline. It doesn’t have to be perfect as most kids won’t mind but don’t forget to include the pointy hat and nose!
Stick the cut out up on the wall or on a large peg board. Decorate the witch with plastic spiders and fake web.
Then cut out large shaped warts (yuck) from a green felt material and either stick a thumb tack onto the end of each one or some strong tape for younger children.
Use a plan dark colored rag as a blind fold and let the children take turns sticking the wart on the witch’s nose.
Pick Their Brains
Cook a large pot of different shaped pasta such as spirals or macaroni drain and cool completely. Place cooled pasta in a large plastic bowl and add a few olives. Then add some wrapped candies or treats like mini fun sized chocolate bars.
Cover the bowl with material that you’ve cut into a decorative shape like a pumpkin or monsters head. You can even use a scary cloth mask that will go over the bowl or a decorated plastic bag. You basically need to cover the bowl with something decorative and head shaped that has a slit in the back. The kids should not be able to see the contents of the bowl.
Sit the kids in a circle and let them take turns digging into the bowl to find the candies. They won’t be able to see into the bowl and the squidgy texture of the pasta along with the olives will feel like “brains”.
Bobbing for Apples with a Twist
Make this traditional game a little more scary by filling the bobbing tub with milk and adding red food coloring. Add enough coloring until the milk resembles a bright red color.
Then add the apples and let the kids take turns bobbing for apples.
This game can get messy so it’s best played outside if possible.
Halloween Graveyard Hunt
Decorate your backyard to resemble a scary graveyard or just add lots of scary things. You can add cut out black felt bats, plastic spiders, fake web, fake tombstone, jack o lanterns and even scary music.
Hide prizes and treats amongst the plants and decorations and let the kids go on a graveyard hunt. For older kids you can even have a disguised adult or two hiding around a spooky corner, but please don’t do this with younger children as it can really traumatize them.
Scary Story Time
Kids love a good scary story. Set the scene by lowering the lights and perhaps lighting a few candles (always supervise children around candles). You can also play some low spooky music in the background.
Take turns telling scary stories appropriate to the age group of children. For younger children you can read a suitable scary and not make the scene too intense for them.
Make this time special by serving a Halloween punch or witch’s milk (warm milk sprinkled with a little chocolate and cinnamon)
Mummy Wrap
This is a lot of fun. Buy a handful of party wrap rolls (preferably in Halloween colors and decoration, but you can even use toilet paper). Split the kids up into teams of two. One child will be the “mummy” and the other is in charge of wrapping up the child like a mummy.
When you start playing the music the teams can start wrapping up the mummy. Try to play some fun and Halloween songs like “Monster Mash” and when you turn the music off the kids need to stop.
The team whose mummy is more mummified (or wrapped) wins.
