30 HALLOWEEN GAMES AND ACTIVITIES

EM


Posted by Emily Mathias



During the month of October, people everywhere find themselves gearing up for
festive neighborhood events, class parties and church youth group functions.
This year, SignUpGenius is here to help you add the perfect dose of fun with our
list of family-friendly Halloween games. With variations for young children,
teens and adults, you’ll find a game for everyone!

 1. Wind-Up Chomping Teeth Race — Fun for all ages, but little ones LOVE this
    one. Establish a start and finish line, station kids next to their wind-up
    chomping teeth and get racing! Test out the distance beforehand.
 2. Spider Web Obstacle Course — Using a roll of white streamers, tape an
    obstacle course from wall-to-wall down a narrow hallway or small area. Tape
    plastic spiders to the streamers and add fake spider webbing to the space.
    The goal is to get through the course without ripping streamers! Set a time
    limit.
 3. Spider in the Haystack — Load up a big solid-colored plastic tub or bin with
    hay, Easter grass or popcorn. Bury plastic spiders in there (alternative
    ideas include sticky eyeballs or plastic skeletons). Stick your hand in the
    hay and dig out the prize! Include candy as motivation.
 4. Tootsie Roll Brain – Buy a container and fill it with pumpkin goop and
    seeds. Bury tootsie rolls, adding new ones frequently. Make sure to have
    baby wipes on hand for this one.
 5. Name That Monster – A great icebreaker. Each person wears vampire teeth
    during the game. Tape famous monsters on each person’s back. Ask yes or no
    questions to figure out the monster.

 6.  Pumpkin Hunt — Think Easter egg hunt. Hide tiny plastic pumpkins with a
     piece of candy in each one.
 7.  Teen Selfie Scavenger Hunt — Make a list of places or items for teens to
     find. Some ideas: spirit rock, a witch hat or green monster mask. Divide
     into teams and take selfies with each item to prove you found it. The first
     team that finishes gets the prize.
 8.  Sticky Skeleton Darts — Purchase sticky skeletons or hands. Throw them onto
     a target such as a dartboard. Specify prizes for each section, with the
     best prize for the bullseye.
 9.  Mummy Wrap — Distribute two rolls of toilet paper per team. Select one
     person to be wrapped up like a TP mummy. Race to see which team can use up
     both rolls the fastest, covering the entire body.
 10. Pumpkin Relay — Set up an obstacle course and roll a pumpkin around it.
     Establish teams and time them. The team that finishes in the least amount
     of time wins.
 11. Candy Sort/Trading Station — Celebrate the best part of Halloween by
     providing a space for sorting, trading and munching on the candy stash.
 12. Halloween Candy Walk — Use Halloween pictures instead of numbers,
     Halloween-themed music and candy for prizes. Tape laminated pictures in a
     circle on the floor. Draw mini versions of each picture and put them in a
     bag. Players start out standing on a picture and then walk around the
     circle to spooky music. Stop the music and make sure each player is
     standing on a picture. Pull a picture from the bag and whoever is standing
     on the picture called gets the candy. Variation: Keep stopping/starting the
     music and drawing pictures from the hat. Give a prize to the last person
     called for that round.
     
 13. Costume Contest – Sure the little ones love it, but don’t overlook this
     option for older kids or adults — everyone can get in on the competition.
     Churches: host a themed costume contest like saints or historical figures.
     Boast on your event sign up that “costume prizes will be awarded.” Select
     judges ahead of time or do a vote. Make decorative voting boxes out of old
     shoeboxes and assign older children to man the voting table. Provide
     categories by age group or costume type — scariest, funniest, most
     creative, best group. Buy prizes or ribbons to pin to the winning costumes.
     This is great for neighborhood parties if you provide pizza and do the
     contest before trick-or-treating. Make sure to get photos!
 14. Pumpkin Decorating — Supply stencil sheets and colored sharpie pens. Select
     adult judges to give an award to the three best pumpkins. If you build
     drying time into the schedule, bring out the paint! Older kids can put
     clear glue or Mod Podge on the pumpkin and sprinkle glitter. Or put
     decorative scrapbook paper squares on the pumpkin and apply Mod Podge as
     you go.
 15. Would You Rather — Teens love this one. Players stand in the center of the
     room and move to different sides as Halloween-related questions are called
     out. Ideas: “Would you rather watch a horror or action film? Would you
     rather eat pumpkin pie or pumpkin seeds? Would you rather wear a homemade
     costume or store-bought one?”
 16. Candy Corn Bingo — Great for a classroom party. For younger kids, print
     copies of a blank, nine-space bingo board, similar to tic-tac-toe. Make
     printouts with nine Halloween clipart pictures on each page, making sure
     they are sized to fit in spaces of the bingo boards. More variation in
     clipart pictures will cut down on multiple winners. Kids cut and glue their
     own pictures onto the bingo board. Supply candy corns as the bingo chips.
     For older kids, go online and print out 25-space, Halloween-themed bingo
     boards.

 17. Pumpkin Bowling — Decorate cans with Halloween pictures and use little
     gourds as the bowling balls. Arrange the cans in a triangle formation,
     placing a small prize inside each one. Players roll the gourd and get
     prizes out of the cans they knock over. Variation: Use toilet paper rolls
     and arrange in a stacked triangle formation. Knock them all over to get a
     prize.
 18. Glow Stick Witch or Pumpkin Pitch — Buy three witch hats or three pumpkins
     with sturdy stems. Line the hats/pumpkins in a straight line, directly in
     front of each other but with space in between. Use glow stick necklaces or
     bracelets as the “rings” that you toss. Loop multiple necklaces/bracelets
     together to make the rings bigger (easier) or smaller (harder). Use tape to
     reinforce the bracelets or necklaces at the joints.
 19. Lollipop Ghosts — Make these at a craft table or use them as prizes. Buy
     Tootsie Pops, pipe cleaners and white tissue paper. Cut the tissue paper
     into smaller squares and wrap it over the Tootsie Pop. Twist a pipe cleaner
     or twisty-tie around the base. Use a black marker to make a ghost face.
 20. Glow Stick Hunt — Hide glow sticks in the yard and provide flashlights for
     this after-dark hunt. Find as many as you can!
 21. Halloween Jenga — Paint blocks orange and use a black marker to label each
     block with age-appropriate tasks, questions or trivia. Ideas: “Jump up and
     down three times,” “Who won the Super Bowl this year?” or “What’s your
     favorite Halloween candy?” Players pull the blocks and do what they say.
     The winner gets a bigger piece of candy!
 22. Candy Corn or Ping Pong Eyeball Toss — Put a plastic pumpkin, cauldron or
     bucket at an age-appropriate distance.  Give each player 10 candy corns.
     You get to eat what you throw in there.  Variation: draw eyeballs on ping
     pong balls and throw those instead.
 23. Witches Brew — Fill identical plastic cauldrons with different items, both
     disgusting and yummy: green slime, pumpkin seeds, beans, sticky eyeballs,
     gummy worms or individually wrapped candy. Secure black felt to the top,
     with a hole just wide enough for a hand. Stick a hand in different bowls to
     find the treat! Move bowls around between players. Variation: Identify
     correctly what’s in each bowl and you get a prize.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine your Holiday Bash with a Fundraiser = Genius! SAMPLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 24. Popcorn-Pumpkin Minute-to-Win-It — Fill a garbage bag with popcorn. Place a
     real or plastic pumpkin at the other end of the room. Using a cup, players
     have one minute to fill the pumpkin. Have a broom ready for this one.
 25. Pumpkin Cookies/Cupcakes – Decorate cookies or cupcakes. Provide orange
     icing, candy corn for eyes, M&M’s for noses, licorice string for the mouth
     and candy Nerds for teeth.
 26. Vampire Teeth Doughnuts — Embed vampire teeth into the middle of a doughnut
     and place upside down chocolate chips in there as eyes. Provide a sample
     for them to follow.
 27. Pumpkin Carving Contest (BYOP: Bring Your Own Pumpkin) — An adult game with
     no couples sharing and no pre-party pumpkin prep! Proper table set up is
     important for this to be a success. When everyone’s done carving, light up
     the pumpkins on the table and vote for the best. Buy gift cards for prizes.
 28. Best Halloween Treat/Appetizer/Dish — Host a potluck party, asking guests
     to bring Halloween-themed food. Put out a voting box and make it a contest
     for most creative dish. Create a sign up so everyone doesn’t bring a
     dessert. SAMPLE 
 29. Survivor, Pumpkin Island — Host a Survivor-style party with two teams and
     games, such as classics like bobbing for apples or a combination of games
     from this very list! Two final contestants play Jenga, cornhole or darts to
     determine a winner.
 30. Murder Mystery Party — An adult game. Buy a kit online or do-it-yourself:
     pre arrange for one person to be the murderer and one person to be the dead
     body. The dead person should be in a place not readily seen but soon found.
     Place clues around that players have to find, unraveling the mystery.

Don’t be afraid! With these games and activities, your Halloween event will be
frightfully fun. Plus, use SignUpGenius to organize the supplies and guests, and
your party will go off without a hitch. Have a fang-tastic time!
