[Halloween] Fun Kids' Recreational Activities: Popular Ideas [Part 2] (1–10)
Making Halloween ice cream
If you want to wrap up your Halloween party with dessert, making Halloween ice cream is a great idea! It’s fun not only to use store-bought ice cream but also to make it together from milk.
Using food coloring to make it vibrant also gives it a Halloween vibe!
Piñata breaking
A great recommendation for kids’ parties is a piñata-smashing game.
A piñata is like a festive ball filled with candy, used in South American celebrations.
Breaking a piñata is also said to have the meaning of driving away bad things.
If you make the piñata in the shape of a ghost or a pumpkin, it becomes a perfect activity for Halloween.
When the candy spills out, the kids will be thrilled!
Marker Face Challenge
Halloween makeup often features scary elements like wounds and blood, but this is all about having fun with everything—using watercolor paints and face markers to freely doodle on your face! It’s a playful activity.
We don’t usually draw on our faces with paints, and you can’t see your own face without a mirror, so you get to enjoy the excitement and anticipation until it’s finished.

Makeup showdown
Speaking of Halloween, I think costumes—and spooky makeup like zombies—are what most people imagine.
Recently, cosplay culture has really taken root, so lots of makeup items are now sold at big retail stores.
On Halloween night, why not bring your party to life—freely, fun, and frighteningly—with whatever makeup style you like?
Treasure Hunt
Halloween has become very familiar to us, but for small children it can be hard to take part in outdoor events.
That’s why I recommend a treasure hunt at home, hiding Halloween-themed treats and goodies for them to find.
With a few simple clues, it’s an indoor activity the whole family can enjoy together and lose track of time.
Making a Halloween wreath with origami
A wreath beautifully and cutely decorated with flowers and the like tends to be associated more with Christmas, but here they’re introducing a Halloween-themed version.
Amazingly, it’s a wreath made using origami, which children are familiar with.
A wreath folded with Halloween-inspired ghosts is great to display, and making and painting it are fun too—perfect for a Halloween event.
Ghost busting with an air cannon
This is a fun craft-and-play game using plastic bottles that kids can easily make.
You can quickly create an air cannon with a balloon and a plastic bottle! After that, just draw ghosts on toilet paper rolls and blast them away.
It’s perfect for a kid-focused Halloween party!
