[For Seniors] Exciting Halloween Games: Fun Ideas with Ghosts, Mummies, and Spiderwebs (51–60)
Bingo game
Bingo is a classic party game for events and can get everyone excited, regardless of age.
Part of the appeal is the anticipation of waiting for the numbers on your card and the thrill when you complete a line.
When playing bingo for Halloween, choosing themed prizes can help set the mood.
Add Halloween-themed items to familiar, easy-to-understand prizes so people can enjoy the festive atmosphere and get interested, even if it’s just through the Halloween vibe.
Eyeball Relay
It’s a party game that everyone can enjoy, from children to seniors.
Players take turns carrying a ping-pong ball—either a regular ball imagined as a Halloween eyeball or one colored to look like an actual eyeball—balanced on a spoon.
Each time you transport a ball, you get to eat something and pass the relay to the next person.
The faster you relay, the more you get to eat.
As a variation, it’s fun to compete in teams to see who can complete the most relays.
Spiderweb Darts
If you want to enjoy a simple Halloween-style game, why not make “Spiderweb Darts”? It’s easy to put together: first, create a spiderweb on a paper plate base using masking tape.
Make sure to stick the masking tape with the adhesive side facing up.
For the balls you’ll throw, crumple up some tissue paper, wrap it all around with clear tape, and draw ghost faces on them for a Halloween touch.
Finally, mount the paper plate “web” on the wall and you’re set! When you throw the ghost balls, they’ll stick to the web so you can play like darts.
You can also assign different points by ball color and compete to see who gets the highest score.
In conclusion
The Halloween games introduced here are all easy and enjoyable for older adults.
By moving their hands and bodies, they can have a fun time celebrating the season.
In a warm, friendly atmosphere filled with smiles, they’ll naturally feel both mind and body invigorated.
We hope the Halloween moments enjoyed together become wonderful memories.
