Fun Indoor Halloween Party Games for Kids
Some Original Games for Your Next Kids’ Halloween Party
Sep 17, 2009
It is always a challenge to come up with new ideas for kids’ games for parties, and Halloween offers a great opportunity to add some eerie elements that will make it even more fun for the kids. Here are some original party games to try.
Magic Pumpkin Game
Hollow out three small pumpkins. Put a large fake black spider in one and then rotate the pumpkins around, having the kids guess which one has the spider. A more ambitious game would be to take a strong piece of cardboard that can act as a table top, cut out three large holes and place a witches’ hat over each hole. Have an adult, with their face made up like a witch, hide under the table with their head poking out of one of the holes. Each child gets a chance to lift a witches’ hat and see if the witch is underneath. The person can move to a different hole each time a new child has a turn.
New Take on Bobbing For Apples
Fill a tub with warm water and throw in a dozen red apples and one green apple. Blindfold each child and have them bob for an apple, a special prize if they get the green one.
Spooky Room
If doing the traditional spooky room where a child is walked through a dark room and has to stick their hand in bowls of eyeballs (cherries) and intestines (cooked spaghetti), add a few other twists such as having people hidden in the room to touch them as they walk by, a recording of a scream going off sporadically or a sudden flash of a scary portrait on the wall.
Behind the Mask
Pull one child out of the crowd. Have all of the other children put on a scary mask and stand behind a hanging sheet so that only their heads are showing. Have the child try and guess who each child is. Then let the others take a turn. Whoever gets the most right wins.
Zombie Search
Kryptonite Kollectibles (available at Amazon.com) have a product called Bag O’ Zombies Glow in the Dark which are miniature plastic white zombies that glow in the dark. Hide a bunch of the zombies around the room (100 come in a package) then turn off all of the lights. Have the kids try and grab as many of them as possible before the lights come back on. So the kids don’t run into each other, have each wear a glow necklace.
Pumpkin Object Surprise
Hollow out a large pumpkin and fill it with Jell-o. Place an object inside the pumpkin – something with a Halloween theme like a small rubber bat, a skull, a black cat, a plastic eyeball. The kids have to stick their hands inside the pumpkin, into the Jell-o and try and guess what the object is. Replace the object every time it is guessed correctly.
There are also Outdoor Halloween Party Games as well. Any of these games are sure to make a Halloween party a big hit.
