Directions

Players draw a card in turns; some cards instruct a silly trick, while treat cards allow you to select a goodie.

Enjoy the timeless party game Don't Eat Pete with a Halloween twist.

Set up Halloween Bingo for up to 8 participants using 8 themed bingo cards and award festive prizes to winners.

Hide a gummy worm or plastic spider in a disposable pie plate filled with whipped cream. Each player gets their own plate. When you say "Go," contestants must use only their mouths to locate the hidden item—hands are forbidden. The first to find the worm wins.

Split into two or more teams, each receiving one roll of toilet paper. Each team picks one member to become the mummy. On "Go," teams race to wrap their mummy completely in toilet paper. The first team to finish their roll wins.

Suspend donuts from strings and have players eat them without using their hands—a classic game with a Halloween flair.

Print ghost-shaped markers and lay them on the floor. Players begin standing on a ghost. Play Halloween music; everyone walks from ghost to ghost. Before stopping the music, remove one ghost. When the music pauses, each player must find a ghost to stand on. The player without a ghost is out. Remove another ghost and repeat until one player remains.

Create a mystery box filled with spooky (but safe) items. Players reach inside, feel the contents, and guess what they are—try to identify as many "creepy" foods as possible.

Set up a Frankenstein figure as a bowling pin and roll a ball to knock it over.

Provide Halloween-themed mazes and word searches for a quiet, seated activity.

Create a list of Halloween decorations to spot around your neighborhood. Players take photos as proof. Set a timer and see who can capture the most items within the time limit.

Fill a large bowl with water and apples. Players must grab an apple using only their mouths—no hands allowed.

Challenge players to unscramble Halloween-related words as quickly as possible. The first to finish wins.
