Halloween Games Idea #1

If you want to play a game similar to Pin The Tail On The Donkey, you can use a large drawing of a pumpkin instead. For the prop you just need to draw a big pumpkin on a piece of paper. Don’t draw the nose on the pumpkin but cut one out of paper for each child. Play the game just like you would the original one.

 

Halloween Games Idea #2

The Gross Body Parts Game requires several props. You will need peeled grapes for the eyes, spaghetti for the guts, Jello for brain matter and chicken bones for bones. You turn the lights down low and pass containers with the food. Each child has a chance to feel the food and identify it.

 

Halloween Games Idea #3

A great game that requires very few Halloween props is the one where you bob for apples. Props needed are a tub with water and apples. The kids take turns trying to grab an apple using only their mouths.

Halloween Games Idea #4

Another game that doesn’t need much in the way of props is a Halloween version of Pictionary. You need a large drawing pad and markers. Ahead of time make slips of paper with Halloween items written on them. Divide the kids into two teams and let them take turns drawing the items on the slips of paper. Set a time limit and award prizes if you wish.
