Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids. Everyone gets to wear a silly costume, there are plenty of chocolates and sweeties to go around and who doesn’t love the excitement of trick-or-treating? Planning a Halloween party for kids or organising some fun Halloween games can really help make the most of the spooky-season!
We’ve compiled a list of some the most fang-tastic Halloween games for kids! Check them out.
Halloween Bingo is a simple, spooky, and spectacular way to keep kids entertained during Halloween. Following traditional bingo rules, this version features a supernatural twist with Halloween-themed images on each bingo card. It’s quick and easy to make these themed bingo cards at home, or you can purchase them online. As you call out the fun Halloween icons (Black Cats, Ghoulish Ghosts, Vampires, etc.), kids can place pieces of candy on their cards until someone reaches Bingo!
A scavenger hunt is a fantastic party game for kids and never fails to have them erupting in spooky silliness! Simply place some delicious Halloween treats around your house or garden and have the kids go exploring! If you want to create some creepy clues, this party game is sure to keep the kids amused for a while.
This is a Halloween classic! Grab a large tub or basin and fill it with water and several apples. Kids can take turns trying to grab an apple with their teeth, without using their hands! This popular Halloween party game is a great way to get everyone involved and in the Halloween spirit!
The Halloween Mummy Wrap game is a spook-tacular activity perfect for kids at Halloween parties! Simply divide the kids into teams of two or three. One person from each team will be the “mummy,” while the others will be the “wrappers.” Using rolls of toilet paper, crepe paper or sheets, the wrappers race to cover their mummy from head to toe, leaving space for the eyes, nose, and mouth. The first team to wrap their mummy wins!
Pass the Pumpkin is a terror-ific game that can be played in a variety of ways. Taking a spooky twist on the classic “Hot Potato,” players pass a small pumpkin or Halloween-themed soft toy around the circle as spellbinding music plays. When the music stops, whoever is holding the pumpkin must perform a Halloween ‘trick or treat’, such as a spooky dance, a frightening ghost tale, or a chill-arious tune. The game continues until only one player remains, who is declared the winner.
Alternatively, you can play it like the classic “Pass the Parcel” by using a pumpkin-shaped trick-or-treat bucket filled with candy. When the music stops, the child holding the bucket picks a piece of candy, and the game continues. It’s a perfect way to add extra fun and excitement to any Halloween party!
Putting a terror-ble twist on the party favourite tag game, Zombie tag is a great way for kids to run off their post ‘treat’ sugar rush. One child plays the ‘Zombie’ trying to catch the other ‘Human’ kids. Once you’re caught, you join the ‘Zombie’s until one ‘Human’ child is left and wins! A great way to combine fun, exercise, and Halloween thrills!
Pumpkin painting is a creative and fun Halloween activity perfect for kids and adults alike. Instead of carving, which can be messy and requires sharp tools, painting allows for endless design possibilities with minimal cleanup. All you need are some pumpkins, acrylic paints, brushes, and perhaps some markers or glitter for extra flair. Participants can paint spooky faces, cute characters, or fun Halloween designs like ghosts, bats, or haunted houses!
Shaped like a pumpkin, the piñata is filled with candy, small toys, or Halloween-themed treats. To play, hang the piñata up and let the blindfolded kids take turns hitting it with a bat or stick. When the pumpkin piñata finally bursts, everyone scrambles to collect the goodies that spill out!
These spook-tacular Halloween games are the perfect way to keep kids entertained and engaged during the spooky season. From classic favourites like Apple Bobbinh to creative twists like Zombie Tag, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or simply looking for fun family activities, these games are sure to bring smiles, laughter, and a bit of eerie excitement to your celebrations!
