[Halloween] Fun Kids' Recreational Activities: Popular Ideas [Part 2] (1–10)
45-second challenge
The 45-second challenge, known from the commercial jingle “What can you do in 45 seconds?”, asks just how much you can accomplish in that very in-between span of time that doesn’t even reach a full minute.
One fun idea is to eat a pudding by biting into it and finishing it using only your mouth—no hands or spoon.
It sounds like a lot of fun and something you wouldn’t normally do, so it’s sure to liven things up, right? Kids will probably enjoy it too, since they can boldly do something that would usually get them scolded for being “bad manners!”
Halloween Quiz
Kids love riddles and quizzes, don’t they? As a game for a Halloween party, it might be fun to hold a quiz competition by gathering Halloween-themed questions.
If most of the kids are older, include slightly challenging questions about the history of Halloween and fun trivia; if there are more little ones, go with simple riddles.
These days, you can find lots of quiz questions and even videos by searching online, so use those as references.
It’ll be even more exciting if you offer a prize like candy for correct answers!
Mummy Wrap Game
One Halloween game that’s popular in the U.S.
and easy to try in Japan is the “Mummy Wrap Game.” Like a mummy wrapped in bandages, you wind toilet paper all around someone’s body, and the team that finishes wrapping first wins! Halloween costumes are already a staple, but this also works as a quick and easy costume you can enjoy.
Russian roulette
There are snacks and drinks out there that make you wonder, “Who would buy this?” and during the Halloween season, tons of these mysterious treats start popping up.
Super brightly colored candies and drinks, and intentionally bad-tasting snacks… Let’s use those kinds of foods and drinks to play Russian roulette! Some products even mix a normal tasty snack with a bizarre flavor—perfect for an easy setup.
With drinks, it could be fun to hide the color so you can’t see it before you try it.
Eyeball-carrying relay
Draw eyeballs on ping-pong balls.
It’s a game where you line up and carry the “eyeballs” on a spoon without dropping them.
It doesn’t take up much space, so it’s great for parties.
If the spoon is on the smaller side, it’s actually quite tricky.
I recommend it because it’s an easy, casual game that anyone can enjoy regardless of age.
