Halloween Games

                Last week I told you about Trunk or Treating, I hope you liked my churches idea for a fun Halloween party. Now you have to have some fun games to play with the children to keep them entertained and happy. Here are some of the games that we do each year and the children love them.

Halloween Games

1.       Take a container with water in it and drop your apples in. Place a drop cloth underneath for any spills. Always have a towel handy for the kids to wipe their faces off. Dunking for apples is a classic Halloween game and the children love it.

2.   

    Pumpkin Bowling. Taking some pins line them up, or use some empty cans and stack them or line them up. Using a small pumpkin as your bowling ball roll it toward your target. Since most pumpkins are not smooth this makes it funny to watch them bowl. The kids have a ball and laugh really hard.

3.       Pin the face on the pumpkin.

With a big piece of paper draw several pumpkins on the paper in different sizes.

Blindfold the kids and have them stick pieces of pumpkin faces onto the pumpkins. Give a prize to the kids who come closest to making a face on any of the pumpkins on the paper.

We put tape on the back of foam pieces instead of pins so nobody could get hurt.

4.     

  Make pumpkin cookies. Have frosting ready and let the kids decorate their own cookies. Have sprinkles and cookie decorations available so they can decorate their cookie however they want.

5.       Have a Halloween Parade. Separate the kids according to costumes. Ghosts, princesses, or any other character they are dresses up as. Have them parade in front of the parents and pick the best of each category. The children love to show off their costumes.

This is just a few of the games that we use at our Trunk or Treating Party at our church. The children love these games and they have a ball. There are so many things you can do at Halloween besides going door to door Trick or Treating. This a safe way for kids to have fun and not worry about the candy. Have a safe Halloween.
