Tricks and Treats for Making a Kids Halloween Party Fun

Halloween is a time for fun and games, tricks and treats, for most kids. Halloween games whether spooky or silly can help make the holiday extra fun. If your kids are hosting a Halloween party and looking for spooky games or if you’d just like some games to play with your family around Halloween to get into the spirit, here are some starting point ideas.

1-WRAP THE MUMMY
Supplies: toilet paper or crepe paper rolls; timer/clock
You have to admit, the mummy is one of the best all-time Halloween monsters. Your kids will get a kick out of making mummies of themselves. In this competition game, kids pair off in twos. The object of the game is for one player to wrap their partner from ankles to shoulders before the other team does the same. The winner is the team that gets the best time. Teams can compete head-to-head or one-team at a time with someone keeping track of the times. Just make sure an adult is present- no kids should ever be given free reign to wrap up another kid without supervision!

2-THE GREAT MONSTER-OFF
Supplies: face paint, mirrors, old clothes, hats, etc.
No time is better than Halloween for letting kids go nuts with face paint and costumes. As a twist on the traditional costume party, ask kids to come to your child’s party without costumes and then provide them each with some old clothes and some face makeup (hypoallergenic) and present them with the party’s first game: make your own costume with what’ve you got! Give kids a time limit and then, when everyone’s done, give prizes for winners. You can find a way to make everyone the “best” at something: scariest, prettiest, funniest, most creative or just give one door prize for the best of all. You can set limits if you want, too (nothing too scary or supernatural) or set a theme (animals, occupations, etc.)
