Fun Halloween Games For Kids Party Ideas

Naturally, there will be children of different age groups attending the party, in which case you might like to read through the games and activities below and consider whether each game is age-appropriate for the particular group of kids you are planning to entertain. If you feel some of the activities, such as the Halloween tales activity, may be a little too frightening for a particular age group, ask them to tell magical stories rather than scary ones. Use your discretion and adapt each game so that it becomes age appropriate, but above all, enjoy yourselves.

You'll need lots of toilet paper for the mummy game! All kids love dressing up and the mummy game gives them the opportunity to dress their friends. Divide the kids into two teams, when you shout 'Go' each team must start wrapping one of their elected team members in toilet paper (resembling the bandages on a mummy) the team who wraps their member up first, wins. Start the game again by using different team members to be wrapped.

Make some jelly and fill it with slimy candy or small plastic toys, as in the spaghetti game. Use food coloring, black or dark green, and tell the kids it's a brain. Let each child put their hand in the jelly and try to identify the items. The kids will love this game because it's so messy.

Take an old cardboard box and paint it black. Cut out a hole in the top which is big enough for the kids to get their hands in. Fill the box with a number of different items which relate to Halloween. Make it more fun by covering the items with 'play slime' that can be bought in many toy shops. Get each child to feel inside the box and identify the items. The child who identifies the most items correctly, wins the box.

Depending on the age of the children, Halloween tales is a great way to round the party off. Get each child to write a short scary story related to Halloween. When they have written the stories ask them to give them to you. Elect another child to read another's story and all the other kids have to guess who wrote the story. The writer of the story should play along, as if they do not know who wrote the Halloween tale. The winner is the one who wrote a story that nobody guessed was theirs.

These fun Halloween games for kids should keep them entertained for hours and you will not need any expensive items or have to spend a lot of money. With the exception of a bit of candy and a few cheap plastic toys, the other items, such as spaghetti, jelly and toilet paper, can be found in your cupboards.
