Fun Halloween Party Games for Kids 

I’ve been the volunteer parent-planner for my kid’s classrooms for the last three years. This year, I knew it was time to crank up the Halloween fun a few notches, especially as my kids get older, and began looking for fun, silly and creative games for their Halloween parties.

Planning a Halloween Party is a lot of fun! I love the themed decor and food, but the games… these are what really make a party a blast!

(After the kid’s Halloween parties, because these party games are so much fun, I may even pull them out with for our neighborhood Halloween get together.)

I’ve been searching around the web for the best Halloween games for kids and came up with a pretty decent list to share with you today…

These 24 Halloween Party games for kids are creative, spooktacularly fun and are great for all ages!

If DIY isn’t your style, then pre-made party games such as Halloween can bean bag toss, this adorable pumpkin toss game which can last for many years, or these super real looking eyeball spoon race supplies will do the trick!

 

24 Halloween Party Games for Kids (and adults!)

When you’re planning the perfect Halloween party, the key is to stick with a few really good options (2 – 4 is usually a good number for Halloween parties or a neighborhood block party.)

It’s easy to theme your Halloween party with cute and creepy decorations, add in some themed food that’s silly, and require costumes.

While these 24 Halloween themed games seem like loads of spooky fun for kids, I can guarantee the adults will have fun too watching their little ones playing, and maybe even joining in on the festivities too!

HALLOWEEN GOOEY GUESSING GAMES

One of my favorite games as a kid at our school Halloween fair, was the slimy, gooey guessing games. Like a mystery box, your reach your hand into the unknown (you can put the gooey stuff into a pumpkin, container, box, etc.) and try to guess at what’s squishy under your fingers. Here are some gooey ideas:
