10 Halloween Party Games for Kids

If your children are having a Halloween party this year, then you will want to make sure you have a nice list of games ready to play. Other wise the kids will end up board and probably into trouble. A fun party is a well planned party. When you play games you should have some presents for the winners. Since this is a Halloween party, you will want to make sure you have Halloween themed presents. Depending on the age of the children, you may want to have runner up presents for the kids who don't win, so everyone goes home with something.

1. Orange Pumpkin Pop

Supplies:

Orange Balloons

Black Balloons

Scarves or rope

Radio with Spooky Music

First you will need to divide the group into two groups. One will be the black team, the other the orange team. One side of the room should have orange balloons blown up and scattered across the floor. The other side of the room should have black balloons blown up and scattered across the floor.

Have the children pick a partner from their color team. With the partners standing back to back, tie their legs and arms together. Do this with each set of players.

Start the music and let it play for a certain amount of time (depending on how many balloons you blew up) and the children have to try and pop their color balloons. Which ever team pops the most, wins prizes.

2. Pumpkin Hunt

Supplies:

Small pumpkins (a lot of them)

Pumpkin baskets (one per kid)

Before the children arrive, you need to hide all the pumpkins throughout the house. If there are areas you don't want children in, do not hide pumpkins in there. When the children are ready, hand each child a basket and send them on a hunt. The child who has the most pumpkins in their basket wins a prize.

I find it fun to purchase candy pumpkins. The kind that comes wrapped in a candy wrapper. I also purchase larger white pumpkin baskets, and before the hunt, let the children decorate their own baskets. Their names get placed on it, and they keep the basket and can use it for any prizes they may receive.

3. Pumpkin Painting

Supplies:

Medium Pumpkins (1 per kid)

Paint

Newspaper

Markers

Glue

String

Glitter

Paint Brushes

Paper towel

Adult Judges
