Family gatherings, delicious menu items, pumpkin carvings, shopping for the spooky season, and scary home decor are a month-round affair when it is the month of October. However, have you thought about the party games? Instead of going for the same old traditional ones, why not experiment with some new and fun-filled Halloween party games to keep kids as well as adults entertained for a long time? These games come with the promise of a fun and spooky time.
Spiderweb Toss
A few hula hoops, tape, and spiders (of course, the artificial ones only) are all you need for this Halloween party game for kids and adults. Stick the tape in the shape of a spiderweb on the hula hoop and hang it between trees, on branches, or simply on pillars. Let everyone take turns to see who gets the spider spot on at the center or closest to the center of the web. You can also make spiderwebs using other ways. Don’t feel obligated to buy hula hoops if you don’t have them at home already.
Monster Eyeball Hunt
It’s similar to an Easter egg hunt, but make it Halloween-themed. All you need are a few scary googly monster eyes. Simply hide them in your backyard, around the house, on the trees, and let everyone search for the eyes and place them back on the monster in under one minute. The individual with the most number of eyes on their monster wins the game. This Halloween party game will keep kids and adults alike running around the house, giving them some much-needed exercise by the end of the day.
Pumpkin Golf
Are you a golf enthusiast? Then now is the time to show off those golfing skills. Get a giant pumpkin, golf clubs, and lots of golf balls to set up this Halloween party game that can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Carve a face design on the pumpkin and simply aim for the pumpkin’s mouth. See how many golf balls people get in the pumpkin in under a minute to determine the winner.
Bowling Mummies
Add a fun twist to your regular bowling game with this Halloween party game idea. Wrap the bowling pins with toilet paper, add googly eyes for a mummy effect, and ask everyone to knock them over in a set time frame.
Cookie On Face Game
Can you move the monster cookie from your forehead to your mouth without touching it? It might sound easy but trust us, it’s not. Get your kids and other family members to put a monster cookie on their forehead and bring it to their mouth without using their hands in under 60 seconds. The one who wins the round gets a small gift hamper.
Halloween Word Find
If you are looking for a fun Halloween party game that does not involve running and can be enjoyed by older adults and younger kids alike, the Halloween word search game is perfect for you. Simply print out the word search games from a website and let everyone find as many spooky words as possible in a set time frame. The person with the most words gets to decide the next activity.
Eyeball Toss
Set up a board with spooky-looking paper cups and let everyone throw the eyeballs into the cup from a distance. To make the Halloween party game even more fun, divide the team into kids vs. adults to see who has the better aim. If the children take the grand prize, don’t be a sore loser and spoil them with sweet treats on the night of Halloween.
Skeleton Digging
Instead of playing treasure hunt, try this Halloween party game that is perfect for kids as well as adults. Bury the skeletons in a plastic tub or a big box along with packaging material and old newspaper. Now, let everyone dig out the skeleton and put it back together in one piece before the time is up. No spooky game will top this!
You can also add Halloween Charades, Memory Games, Ghost Cup Stacking Games, and Shoot The Skeleton Game to your list. Whatever party game you choose, make sure to do a trial run before guests arrive to ensure it’s safe for all age groups. So, which of these games will you incorporate into your Halloween party?
