Halloween Party Games to Have a Spooky Good Time

Halloween is well known for all things scary – witches, ghosts, mummies, zombies, ghouls and everything in between. It’s also a great occasion for a Halloween party. Games can easily be adapted to fit the spooky theme – here are a few to start with:

“Mummy-Wrapping Race” Halloween Party Game
This Halloween party game is great fun for older children, and also an opportunity to take lots of good photos. All that is required for this Halloween party game is a couple of rolls of toilet paper per team. Players split up into equal teams of 3 or 4 children. A child from each team is nominated to be the “Mummy”; for fairness, make sure that each “Mummy” is a similar height and weight. The object of the game is for the other team members to wrap their “Mummy” from head to toe in toilet paper. The first team to do this is the winner of this hilarious Halloween party game.

“Who’s got the pumpkin?”
This Halloween party game is good for younger children. All that is required for this game is a small cardboard or paper cut-out of a Halloween pumpkin and a blindfold. The children gather together and sit down in a circle. One child is chosen to be “it”, and must sit in the center of the circle and cover their eyes with the blindfold. The pumpkin is given to someone sitting in the circle, who must hide it behind their back. The child in the center takes off the blindfold and has 3 chances to try and guess who has the pumpkin hidden behind their back. Alternatively (and to make guessing a bit easier if there are a lot of children), the child in the center can ask “Who has the pumpkin?” and the child with the pumpkin responds “I do”. This Halloween party game continues until everyone in the circle has had a turn either in the middle or holding the pumpkin.
