[Planning] Enjoy Halloween with Kids! Roundup of Event Ideas [Part 2] (1–10)
Let’s cooperate! Matching game
The picture-matching game involves aligning the images drawn on the surfaces of four cube-shaped boxes to complete a single illustration.
Since you need to change the orientation and positions of the boxes, if you prepare large boxes, children can move their bodies and have fun.
If you make the completed illustrations Halloween-themed—like jack-o’-lanterns, witches, or Dracula—it will help build the Halloween mood.
You can also adjust the difficulty, for example by increasing the number of boxes from four to six.
A ghost goes knock knock
A simple hand-gesture rock-paper-scissors game set to a song is also a great choice for Halloween events.
Various animals appear, and you stack their gestures; when a ghost appears at the end, you play rock-paper-scissors.
This makes it enjoyable not only for children but also as a recreational activity for seniors.
It could be fun to create your own original animals and characters to feature in the song, too.
Because it uses judgment and reflexes, it’s a game that draws players’ focus even as they play.
Haunted House Game
This is a Halloween-themed recreation using a board game.
Since it’s set in a haunted house, it perfectly captures the Halloween mood.
Unlike video games, you learn the rules yourselves and run the game, so it may feel not only challenging but also refreshingly new for the younger generation.
It’s a classic, time-honored game that adults who grew up with board games can enjoy together as well—definitely give it a try.
Spiderweb Darts
With everyday materials like paper plates, vinyl (electrical) tape, and tissue paper, you can enjoy Halloween-themed darts.
By attaching vinyl tape to the paper plate target with the sticky side facing outward, the thrown darts will stick to it like a spiderweb.
You can also make spider-shaped darts by crumpling tissue paper into a ball and wrapping it all around with tape, which will make the game feel even more realistic.
It’s a Halloween twist on a standard, always-exciting darts game—one that kids will be eager to jump into first.
Halloween Scratch Art
Scratch art, which can be made using only crayons and drawing paper, is perfect for the art-filled autumn season, including Halloween.
After coloring the paper with as many of your favorite colors as you like, cover the entire surface with black crayon to create your canvas.
When you scratch the black layer with something like a wooden chopstick, the colored layer underneath appears, letting you create vibrant, colorful artworks.
You can draw Halloween-themed pictures or anything you like—it’s a fun, exciting experience different from ordinary drawing, and it’s especially recommended for children.
