Published · GiftBlooms · Halloween
Halloween has always been one of the best festivals for kids. They love the costumes, the trick-or-treating and of course the candy! That being said, an indoors Halloween or a Halloween party could seem like the worst kind of punishment for kids, that is unless they have something to look forward to. These 8 Halloween party games for kids will make your Halloween party an instant hit amongst them.
1) Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss
The pumpkin Bean Bag Toss is simple but fun. The aim is to toss bean bags into the carved out pumpkins that will earn them the highest points. The kid with the most points wins.
DIYing this game is pretty easy too! All you have to do is get some bean bags and carve out holes in some pumpkins big enough to pop them into. Now just add cards to indicate the points each pumpkin will earn you. Your very own Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss game is ready!
2) Witch Hat Ring Toss
Nothing says Halloween like a game of Witch Hat Ring Toss. The game is pretty much what it sounds like. The aim is to throw your ring around a witch hat. This is a pretty popular game and can be easily bought. However, if you want a customized Witch Hat Ring Toss kit, you can DIY it with a few dollar store cones for witch hat, some black spray paint and some rings made out of paper plates.
This game is especially popular with young kids and toddlers. However, Mommy and Daddy can join in too!
3) Frankenstein Bowling
Kids love bowling and what better way to celebrate Halloween than knocking down some monsters? This game is an indoors toddler-friendly version of bowling that uses cans and a softball instead. All you have to do to make this game is painted on some scary faces on the tin cans and stack them up!
Now each kid gets a chance at the bowling game and the kid who knocks out most cans wins. Have some halloween chocolate lollipops handy for your winners!
4) Pumpkin Golf
The Pumpkin golf is another take on the Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss Game. This game lets you set up your very own miniature golf course right at home. Once you have hollowed out your Pumpkins, cut out some holes in their lower parts. Now all you need is a toy golf set! You could make your mini-golf course even more grand by adding a red felt ramp and using some flameless tea lights for your pumpkins.
5) Candy Corn Bingo
This game is as easy to make as it sounds. Make some Halloween themed Bingo sheets and print them out. Now hand out packets of candy corn to use as counters for the game (and to eat). This game is great for young school going kids. 7-9 year olds will love it!
The classic Halloween treat adds a nice twist to the well-loved game and makes it more Halloween appropriate. The best part about this game is that no matter who wins or loses, everyone gets a packet of Candy corn!
6) Spiderweb Walking
If you are expecting toddlers at your Halloween party, this game is sure to be a favorite! The objective of this game is to walk along with the “spider web” without losing your balance and staying away from the plastic spiders.
All you have to do to create this game is creating a spider web on your floor with some tape and layout the obstacles (plastic spiders). Mark the starting point and keep a jar full of lollipops at the ending point. The kids have to complete the game successfully to get a lollipop.
7) Trick or Treat Game
The aim of this one is simple. The kid who creates most words using the letters of the words “Trick or Treat” wins! This game is great for kids between the ages of 9-12. Have some exciting online halloween gifts for kids as prizes.
8) Eyeball Relay
This game is super fun and perfect for a spooky Halloween party! All you need for this one are a few teaspoons and some ping pong balls painted to look like eyeballs. Just divide your players into teams and start your Eyeball Relay Race. Each player has to balance the spoon and the ping pong ball in their mouths. Dropping the eyeball means having to start over again.
With all the candy going around and a bunch of energetic kids, it’s a good idea to have some games for them to play at your party. With these 8 ideas, any kid is sure to love your party!
