Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy; it’s also a great time to play many games that will make your party exciting and fun to remember. Having indoor and outdoor games at a party can make it more fun for kids, adults, or a mix of the two. Here are some great game ideas to think about:
Indoor Activities:
- Bobbing for Apples: Apple bobbing is a popular game that will always be fun and should be played at every Halloween party. Place some apples in a big tub of water and have people try to catch one with their mouths alone. Add some small, waterproof LED lights to the water to make it glow scarily.
- Guess the Mystery Box: In this game, you have to fill boxes with different “spooky” things, like corn kernels (witch teeth), peeled grapes (zombie eyes), and cooked spaghetti (witch’s hair). People reach into the boxes and try to guess what’s inside. The scarier, the better!
- Pumpkin Mini Bowling: Small pumpkins can be used as bowling balls and toilet paper rolls painted to look like ghosts can be used as pins. It’s fun for everyone, and the Halloween theme makes it even better.
Outdoor Activities:
- Zombie Tag: Make the classic game of tag more fun by making “it” behave like a zombie. When zombies hit a player, they must stop moving and walk with their arms spread until someone saves them.
- Witch Hat Ring Toss: Make or buy witch hat rings out of cones and set them up in your yard for the Witch Hat Ring Toss game. Toss glow in the dark rings; the goal is to get them to loop over the witch hats. This game looks good and is excellent for playing in the evening.
- Haunted Treasure Hunt: Hide things around your yard and give people hints to help them find the treasure. Use a plot about a lost ghost trying to find its way home. The “treasure” could be treats or small toys. In some cases, this can be both fun and a little scary.
Group Games for Both Settings:
- Monster Mash Dance Off: Hit the dance floor with Monster Mash Dance Off, a dance contest set to scary music. Make a dance area, inside or outside, and see who can do the best monster mash or ghost float.
- Pass the Pumpkin: A little like “hot potato,” but with a small pumpkin. Scary music should be played while the pumpkin is passed around the circle. The person who still has the pumpkin when the music stops is out.
These games will make sure that your Halloween is fun and exciting. You can change them based on your friends’ ages and tastes to ensure everyone has a spooky good time.
