HALLOWEEN FUN BEYOND TRICK OR TREATING

HALLOWEEN FUN BEYOND TRICK OR TREATING

Halloween is such an exciting time of year and having a party with Halloween themed games makes it even more fun! 

If you are keen for something more than just Trick or Treating on Halloween, try some of these Halloween Games! They’re suitable for kids, teens and adults. Everyone will be entertained!

There are lots of games that are great for Halloween. Some of them already have a spooky theme, such as Toilet Paper Mummy and Wink Assassin, and need no adjustment. Other games can be given a sprinkle of Halloween dust and turned into the perfect spooky game.

Here are 8 of our favourite Halloween games:

TOILET PAPER MUMMY 

Make a ‘mummy’ by wrapping your partner up from head to toe in toilet paper. Pairs have one roll of toilet paper. One person is the mummy and one person rolls them in toilet paper. The objective is to cover as much of them as possible.

DEAD MAN’S BODY  

This fun Halloween party game is both spooky and challenging. After a short story about a haunted house and a missing man, players get to feel (no looking) the ‘remains’ of a dead man and then have to guess what these remains actually are. You can use all sorts of food items to create spooky body parts – peeled grapes for eyes, dried apricots are ears, chicken bones for a nose, orange rind for skin. 

WINK ASSASSIN

One person is secretly given the role of assassin and tries to ‘kill’ the other players by winking at them without anyone seeing them do it. Whenever the Assassin winks at someone, that person ‘dies’, collapsing to the ground. The others have to guess who is the assassin before they are killed themselves.

HALLOWEEN HIJINKS

An original game themed around Halloween where one person calls out commands and the others have to do the action that is associated with the command. The slowest person is eliminated each round. All ages will have fun following the Halloween-themed commands such as:

Stir the Cauldron – make a stirring motion

Ghost – arms out in front like a ghost

Bats Coming – flap your arms like a bat

HALLOWEEN CHARADES

Charades is perfect to play on Halloween. For younger kids, simple Halloween items, such as Haunted House, Spider, Vampire, Zombie, are perfect for them to act out. For older teens and adults, you can add Halloween-themed movies, books and songs. 

NAME THAT TUNE

Players listen to Halloween-themed songs and need to match the song with the name and artist. 

HALLOWEEN SCAVENGER HUNT

A Halloween themed scavenger hunt is entertaining and challenging. Children solve riddles to lead them on their next clue and finally to a prize.

HALLOWEEN RELAY RACES

Relay races played in teams are always fun. Some Halloween-themed options are:

  • Broomstick Races – sweeping a ball with a broomstick.
  • Spider Race – walking like a spider on hands and feet.
  • Zombie Shoe Relays – with your feet in shoe boxes, you have to shuffle from start to finish.
  • Ghost Hopping – hop with a balloon between your legs.
