25 Halloween games for kids

Directions

1. Gather bean bags and set up a target decorated with spooky monster faces. Players take turns tossing the bags to see who can land them closest to the center.
2. Construct a large tree structure using branches or a frame. Attach small bags or envelopes containing candy to the branches. Children can climb or reach to collect their treats.
3. Create a narrow path using tape or rope on the floor. Participants must walk along the line while balancing a small pumpkin or a trick-or-treat bucket on their head.
4. Set up a series of obstacles or challenges that test bravery and agility. Participants complete each task to earn points or move forward in the game.
5. Use two dice to simulate a snake game. Players roll the dice and move their tokens along a board, trying to reach the finish line before others.
6. Designate a throwing area and a target zone. Players use small pumpkins or foam balls to launch their items as far as possible toward the goal.
7. Write Halloween-themed prompts on slips of paper. Players draw a prompt and act it out for their team to guess within a set time limit.
8. Create bingo cards featuring Halloween icons like bats, ghosts, and witches. Call out items randomly, and players mark their cards until they achieve a winning pattern.
9. Fill several boxes with different Halloween-themed items. Participants reach inside without looking and try to identify the object by touch alone.
10. Place a pumpkin on a table and provide safe tools like toothpicks or small knives. Players take turns poking holes or carving designs into the pumpkin.
11. Set up miniature golf holes using cardboard or foam. Players use small pumpkins or foam balls to putt their way through the course.
12. Divide into teams and provide rolls of toilet paper. Each team races to wrap one of their members in the paper to resemble a mummy.
13. Create a dance floor with arrows pointing in different directions. Players follow the arrows' movements, twisting and turning to the rhythm of spooky music.
14. Use a large die with pumpkin faces on each side. Players roll the die and perform the corresponding action, such as jumping or making a sound.
15. Mark a starting and finishing line. Participants race to carry a small pumpkin from one end to the other without dropping it.
16. Place a pumpkin at the top of a gentle slope. Players take turns rolling their pumpkins down the hill, aiming to stop closest to a target.
17. Fill a large bin with hay or shredded paper. Hide plastic eyeballs inside, and players search through the material to find them.
18. Display a large skeleton cutout and provide a paper bowtie. Blindfolded players take turns trying to pin the bowtie in the correct spot.
19. Create a piñata shaped like a jack-o'-lantern. Fill it with candy and let players take turns hitting it until it breaks open.
20. Fill a large tub with water and float apples on the surface. Players try to grab an apple using only their mouths without using their hands.
21. Place small pumpkins or foam balls in a line. Players use a stick or bat to hit the items, aiming to knock them into a designated area.
22. Set up bottles decorated to look like ghosts. Players use a ball to knock down the bottles, similar to traditional bowling.
23. Create a target with witch hat designs. Players toss rings, trying to land them around the hats to score points.
24. Fill a jar with Halloween-themed items. Players write down their guesses for the number of items inside, and the closest guess wins.
25. Provide cardboard boxes, tape, and decorations. Teams work together to construct a miniature haunted house scene.
