My niece had her Halloween party this weekend because her birthday falls on this week. They had some excellent games that were for both children and parents. I also added some Halloween games that I have planned for our ECI's Halloween harvest festival this coming October 13th. Tim and I are on the planning commitee and we thought you would like these Halloween game
ideas!!!!
The first game was "make a mummy."
A child pairs off with either a parent or another child. They are given a roll of toilet tissue and the host plays the "Monster Mash" song while each grouop must dress their partner like a mummy by wrapping them with the toilet tissue. When the host stops playing the song everyone stops. There were two awards: One for the fastest group and one for the best looking mummy!
Here's another game called "Pin the mouth on the Pumpkin"
Each child is blindfolded and spun around 2 times and has to pin a mouth on the halloween paper pumpkin. Yes,
it is the same game is "pin the tail on the donkey."
The Ghost Guest game
Divide the party guests into 2 groups. The group 1 goes into another room and a white sheet is put over one child and the group goes back into the room where group 2 is. Everyone has to guess who the ghost is. Take the group back and let the group 2 guess who will be the next ghost. Afterwards then it's Group 2's turn to go into the another room and "play ghost" and group 1 guesses who is the ghost. This is a good memory game
Ghost bingo
Cut an Orange posterboard the size of a bingo card for each child
to play. Instead of writing "bingo" at the top of each card, write "ghost" at the top and fill in the numbered squares using the same number scheme as a bingo card. The children can use markers or candy corn to fill in their sqaures when their numbers are called out.
Zombie
Each group is divided into pairs. Each pair stands hand in hand with their adjoining hands tied together. With their free hands(one with their right hand and one with their left hand) they must wrap a package, bind rope around it and tied it with a bow. The pair that finishes the task first is the winner!
