Halloween Party Games
I've been having my kiddos guess the answers to Halloween riddles for several years (during or right after dinner), but this year I added something new: for each correct answer, I gave the child who guessed it one "pumpkin buck" (a printed sheet with a pumpkin on it and the words "ONE PUMPKIN BUCK"). During our last Halloween-themed dinner this week, I conducted an auction for them. I held up one item at a time, and each child could bid on that item or wait in the hope something better was still in my bag! I had 12 items ranging from packs of gum, individual candy bars, to a small game and and a DVD. They LOVED this and begged me to do it again next year. (By the way, I collected almost 60 riddles!) GREAT fun!

I think that the game where you fill a box with packing peanuts or ripped up tissue paper and hide prizes inside is kind of fun. Candy is usually best for older grades. They think prizes are cheesy.

We have played many different types of games during halloween parties. Guessing games, like how many pieces of candy in a jar. Or Hot Pumpkin (like Hot Potato, just you use a pumpkin. Or even a Monster Match Game. Where they have to find a color, or a scary costume and write their friends name down on the worksheet. You can even make it harder and put a time limit on it. I have four children and have had to do parties for all of them. This year I have three that I am a room parent for. Fun Fun!

I think to add a bit more fun to Halloween you could play mumify. Mumify was created by me and what you have to do is have two teams and wrap one team member (from each team) up in toilet roll and then unroll them again and whichever team loses gets a cold mixture of mushy peas, diced carrots,custard and cold spaghetti chucked at them by the winning team.

Editor's Note: Although the mummy part sounds fun, it's a cold time of year for the food throw. You might think of something better for the losing team.

RE: Halloween Party Games
I usually have a Halloween Party and have to think up games for adults. One year we all put our names in a hat and drew out for two teams (size of team does not matter) and each team had to get on a broom and they raced up a hill, around the house, and back to the beginning...if someone fell off they had to start again. Needless to say, neither team made it all the way up the hill without losing someone, but they laughed and had alot of fun doing it. Another year I nailed a 2x4 (approx. 18" long) to a 4' ladder and pounded a nail on the end of the 2x4. Each person got an apple with a string tied to the stem which they had to tie around their waist and then swing the apple up to stick on the nail. We have some very funny pictures of their "hip swinging" antics.

I run a youth club, and tonight is our Halloween party. Another game is bibbing for creepy crawlies, use jelly baff stuff added to kids baths to make it gooey, put jelly baff or normal jelly mushed in big bowl and add jelly spiders worms and so on, then the kids have to get the jellys out. They absolutely love this game but very messy.

I think a great idea is a scavenger hunt outdoors! You could make two teams and have each time look for an item on the list. You could have ten items on the list and each team goes around looking for the hidden items. Hope this info helped!

For a children's Halloween party game, how about a clue-based mystery game with a Halloween theme. I have just reviewed a site with Halloween games for all ages and party size: http://comparetop5.com/entertainmen ... mes-online/games-for-halloween-party

I also liked to do a hula-hoop contest with a little twist. You would put different kinds of gummies on the floor and then give the kids a hula-hoop and then they would have to hula-hoop while they are trying to not hit the candy creatures.

Something I used to do around 6th grade was a donut eating contest. You tie a donut to a string and put your hands behing your back and try to eat it. It's really fun and the kids have a blast.

"bobbing for marshmallows"
fill a big bowl with flour and then stick 4-6 marshmallows in [depending on how big the bowl is]. and people stick their faces in and bob for the marshmallows.
It's hard and really fun, but messy.
Play it outside just so your house doesn't get too messy.

I think that you should do the bobbing for apples. It is an old game but it is really fun!

RE: Halloween Party Games
well I remember when I was a teenager that one of the games we played was choosing a folded piece of paper out of a plastic pumpkin that gave directions to finding another piece of paper of what silly thing we'd have to do. (ex.) drink a cup of apple cider with using your hands.

You can tape off an area of the floor and toss gummy worms, plastic spiders, little pumpkins, gummy bears or other small item on the floor and have them hop on one foot and not step on any......Keep adding more as they finish and start a new line. Change up and have them do it backwards, sideways etc. They all line up and want to do it over and over again.

Archived Request: Halloween Party Games
I'm throwing a Halloween party and I have everything but need ideas for games. I know you can play a game like hide and go seek but I want something different, exciting and something I've never done before!
Thank you,
