Halloween Party GamesHalloween Party Games are great for Halloween parties of all ages. These games can keep the children and adults entertained for hours. These Halloween games vary in requirements, so almost every party will be able to play some games without even purchasing anything! Here is the greatest collection of Halloween party games on the internet!! Halloween Party GamesAdult Games Adult GamesHaving adults coming to the party and need something a little less animated. Consider playing a Halloween trivia game, for singles maybe a haunted dating game, for couples how about a Halloween newlywed game. Research and create questions about Halloween, scary movies, or questions about what frightens your guests.
Blair Witch PartyThis Halloween party game requires a video camera. Invite friends to create a scary or humorous 5 minute film in the style of Blair Witch, then have a Halloween Film Festival and play the tapes. Ideas can range from 'A bathroom with no toilet paper', or 'In a mall with no credit cards'.
Build a ScarecrowForm groups and have a variety of old clothes, pillowcases for heads, markers and newspaper. Groups have 20 minutes to create a scarecrow. Give prizes to the scariest or funniest.
Cluck HuntFun for the kids and hilarious for everyone watching. It is called Cluck Hunt. All you need is some candy corn and paper cups. Before the party, hide the candy corn throughout the house or back
yard. When it comes time to play, divide the group into teams. Each team chooses one person to be the Rooster. The rest of the team are Hens. The Hens go hunting for the candy corn. The fun part is when they find it. They have to keep their hands behind their backs and cannot touch the candy corn when they find it. They have to cluck loudly, like a hen, to get their rooster's attention. The roosters may pick up the candy corn and place it in their cups. You can either put a time limit on it or let them go until all the candy corn has been found. The one who has the most candy corn in their cup is deemed the winner.
Create A Haunted StoryGet everyone to sit in a circle as everyone in the circle will be a participant in telling a part of story. There are 2 ways to get started. First, select an outgoing child to start. Second, if the children are younger write up some ideas and get them started. Here's an example - It was a rainy and cold night as they walked along the road, but in the distance they saw a house... The story is then passed on to the next guests where they add their own intrigue or surprises this continues until all the guests have participated and the story has been completed. Without the participants knowing, tape the telling of the story and then play it back for them right away. Just for laughs! Depending an age you may want to turn off the lights, and have the storyteller shine the flashlight under their face as they tell their portion of the ghost story.
Ghost HunterGhost Hunter is a great game for teams. You'll need lollipops, ribbon, paper, tissue paper, and select 5-10 Halloween terms. You may want a styrofoam base to stick the ghosts into during the game. First, divide party guests into Ghost Hunting teams of 3-5 kids per team, the number per team may be based the ages of the kids. Each team is given clues to find ghosts that can be hidden outside or inside. Each ghost is a lollipop covered with tissue paper, tied with ribbon with a letter written on the ghost. Use a marker a add eyes and a mouth to the ghosts. Remember not to place all the ghosts together or the kids will grab the first ghost they see rather than find the ghost you want them. Also, tell them not to untie the ghosts until after the game is over. So send them off to different areas. You'll want 1 ghost per guest or a specified number per team, but have extras so each child gets a ghost. Then, send the kids with clues off to find ghosts. If there are young children, have an adult go with them for safety and to assist them if they don't understand the clues. Example Clues: I live near the large tree in the backyard or at night I come out from under Mr. Wilson's favorite chair. Each team will return with 3-5 ghosts with letters. The corresponding letters will spell or help spell a mystery word that relates to Halloween. See the 2 versions below: Young kids: Use words where all the letters are given: bat, witch, cat, hat, broom, ghoul etc... One team at a time, take the letters and mix them up. The Ghost Hunting team whose ghosts are being used get the first try to guess the mystery word. If they guess the word correctly they get a point, if they miss the word the other teams have a chance to get a point. Have them raise their hand if they know the answer, 1 guess per team. If no team guesses the word, then a simple clue is given and the process is repeated until the word is guessed. If there is a tie have a tie-breaker mystery word that is a little harder. Offer a small prize for the winners. A little harder: In this version the letters on the ghosts only give clues to the mystery Halloween word. Word Examples: pumpkin, headless, horseman, haunted, goblins, Sleepy Hollow, etc... Arrange the letters in correct order leaving spaces for missing letters. The Ghost Hunting team whose ghosts are being used get the first try to guess the mystery word. If they guess the word correctly they get a point, if they miss the word the other teams have a chance to get a point. Have them raise their hand if they know the answer, 1 guess per team. If no team guesses the word, then a simple clue is given and the process is repeated until the word is guessed. Again have a tie-breaker word just in case and offer a prize for the victors.
Giant Spider WebFor the giant spider web you need a lot of black yarn, plastic spider rings and some cool prizes (candy bars usually work well!). All you have to do is drape a really long piece of yarn across a room (wrapped gently around couches, chairs, etc.) to form the "base" of the spider web. Then, cut the remaining yarn into extremely long lengths (one piece of yarn for each guest invited - make sure the yarn length is very long, probably several yards), tie a "prize" on one end and a plastic spider on the other. Hide the "prize" end somewhere in the room and start wrapping the yarn around the existing web base. Repeat with all the lengths so that when you are done, you should have all the spider ends at one end of the room, all the yarn in a tangled web in the middle of the room and the "prize" end of each piece hidden in the room. All the guests have to do is start with the spider and somehow untangle their piece of yarn from the rest of the web to get to the other end (stepping over, under, and basically getting tangled in the spider web)....and ultimately, the PRIZE! (This is definitely a tangled web when done, so feel free to go crazy with the yarn!)
Guess Gross Food GameYou will need 5 or more bags that are made so that you can't see through them. You will want to line the bags with plastic. First cut up bananas and mash them up. Then put them in bag #1. Then take grapes and peel the skin off of them and place them in bag #2. Take stick pretzels and let them soak in water until they are still hard but a little bit soggy. Place them in bag #3. Take spaghetti sticks and cook them so that they are soft and bendy. Place them (along with a little bit of water to keep them moist) in bag #4. Now for bag #5 save orange peels to put in the bag. You will have the children line up so each to take a turn. Before they put their hand in the first bag, tell them that they will need to remember which bag had what in it. After the first person is done, give him or her a pencil and paper to write down what he or she thought was in bag 1,2,3,4, and 5. The person who gets the most right or the closest to the right answer can receive a prize.
Guess the GhostHave one child leave the room. Then take a large sheet and have a different (child) stand and hide under the sheet. Mix up the remaining children in the room and then allow the child who left the room to come back inside. That child has to guess the child who's the ghost by process of elimination. Then that "Ghost" goes out of the room and a different child becomes the new ghost, mix up the remaining children and repeat until all of the children have had a turn being the ghost.
Halloween Candy HuntThe Halloween Candy Hunt is similar to an Easter egg hunt. Buy plastic eggs and paint them in Halloween colors. Put candy in them and hide them. The prize can be the candy inside or some of the eggs can contain notification of winning a small prize or party favor.
Halloween Scavenger HuntFor this scavenger hunt everyone is teamed up, 10 to 15 people in each group, fully costumed, and armed with instant cameras. All the teams are given the same list of items to collect, but the items are in different sequence. Each team dressed in Halloween costumes races around town for things like old cassettes, road kill, a picture of the group with a police officer, information from a sign. The team that gets all the items and does it in the least amount of time wins the hunt.
Iced HandsFill some gloves up with water and put them in the freezer. As soon as the gloves are frozen, cut the rubber off. Then you put the iced hands in your bowls of punch, the effect is absolutely great and spooky.
Mummy WrapDivide guests into pairs and give each pair a roll of toilet paper. One person wraps the other with the paper, first one to empty their roll wins. Once the first person is wrapped they wrap their partner with another toilet paper roll. Prizes go to the first team who empty both rolls.
Pass the PumpkinsThis game is great for kids and does not require much. It's simply a Halloween version of hot potato. Have kids sit in a circle and pass small pumpkins or gourds when the music is playing. When the music stops the child without a pumpkin is out continue until there's a winner.
Pin The Wart on the WitchA Halloween version of Pin the tail on the Donkey. Instead of a tail use gum as the wart! Draw a witch's face on a piece of poster board. Blindfold each child as his/her turn arrives, spin, point in the right direction. The closest piece of gum to the wart on the witches face wins.
Pumpkin BowlingFor pumpkin bowling you'll need 3 small pumpkins, 30 empty 2 liter clear soda bottles, 1 can white spray paint, 1 permanent black marker, and a bag of gravel or pebbles (placed in bottom of bottles). Spray paint the soda bottles white and draw eyes and mouths on the bottles once dried. Add about a cup of sand or pebbles in each bottle so they will stand without falling over. Divide the students and guests into several teams of 3-8 kids each. Then line then up and let them take turns at bowling over the Ghosts! The small pumpkins are the bowling balls. The kids that got a strike received another attempt to bowl a strike. If they did bowl another strike they received a prize.
Pumpkin GolfThe object of this game is to hit a ball into a pumpkin. First, carve out a pumpkin and make the mouth extra large. Build a cardboard ramp about one to two feet side from the ground to the bottom of the pumpkin's mouth. You will probably need some support under the cardboard. Tape the ramp to the floor for stability. Mark a starting point a few feet from the start of the ramp (older the kids, the farther away). Each player gets to hit a golf ball three times. Each time the ball goes into the pumpkin, the player wins a piece of candy.
Spider HuntBuy a few packages of the plastic spiders. Hide them in the bathrooms, the living room, and kitchen. Have the kids look for them during your party. The child who collects the most spiders by the end of the party wins a special prize.
Witches BrewFill a big pot with prizes wrapped in black and green paper, and throw a bunch of other gross stuff in like spiders, cobwebs, that popcorn Styrofoam, etc. to make it look like a big stew. Then have them reach hand in for prize (if they dare!). If it wasn't so messy, I'd even suggest slime or jell-o as the soup base.
Witch Hunt GameCut out paper witch hats. Whatever number you think would suit the number of people at the party. Color two hats a different color from the rest. Hide all the witch hats throughout the house (area where you would be doing this game). Send the kids to find all the hats. The kids who find the different colored hats get the biggest prize and the two who got the most hats collected get the next biggest prize. Have extra prizes in case of ties. Also, you might want some small prizes for the people who didn't get a prize.
