In addition to being a spooky time, Halloween is also a great occasion for fun games and activities that will be fun and spooky (but mostly fun, to be honest) at the same time!
Outdoor Halloween Games for Kids
For this Halloween, don’t stop at dressing up yourself and your little one. Go all out with your yard and backyard, too! Here are some outdoor Halloween games you can try this Halloween!
Ring Toss, With a Twist!
This easy-to-set-up game is perfect for kids. You can turn your backyard into a little course for Halloween games, and this could be one of them. You would need rings and a couple of witch hats as cones. Dress up and get throwing! Paper plates work amazingly for this game. Whoever wins gets extra candy!
Sling the Slime!
Slime is always good fun. When it comes to kids, throwing it around is even more fun! This simple outdoor game requires only a couple of things. You will need slime to start off. For the target, you can pick anything you like. For instance, you can hang plastic skeletons on cardboard and hang the cardboard on a fence or a wall. You can use post-its to mark certain high-point areas on the skeletons for extra fun!
Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe
If you were wondering if the little mini pumpkins you “accidentally” got for this Halloween will be of any use, wonder no more! With some tape and mini pumpkins, you can create your own tic-tac-toe game, right in your backyard! It’s really easy to set up. Make the board with the tape and select similar-looking pumpkins for Xs and Os. That’s it!
Indoor Halloween Games for Kids
If it’s a bit chilly outside for some activities, here are some indoor Halloween games and activities for kids that you can try out with your kids!
What am I?
This will be a great chance to practice vocabulary with your little ones. For this game, all you will need is a couple of sticky notes and some pens! Every participant will get a sticky note with a Halloween word. This could be the name of a Halloween movie, a character, or a costume idea. Have them stick it on their foreheads but don’t let them look! Attendees will have to ask questions to the other attendees to figure out what they are. The winner gets to have an extra of their favorite candy!
