Puzzle game
Puzzle games are a familiar and fun activity at preschool events, aren’t they? Since it’s Halloween, how about using puzzles with Halloween-themed pictures—like jack-o’-lanterns and ghosts—instead of the usual cute animals and characters? If you include them in a Halloween event, kids can enjoy them with friends or as a parent-child contest.
Completing a puzzle gives a sense of accomplishment, and afterwards you can use it as part of your Halloween decorations to set the mood perfectly.
Puzzles are an easy, friendly activity for children, so they’re highly recommended.
Mummy Game
A mummy game where you wrap someone up with toilet paper and play.
Form teams with a wrapper and a person who plays the mummy, and start wrapping at the signal.
The rule is that whoever makes their teammate look more like a mummy within the time limit wins.
You can easily picture a scene where teachers or parents play the mummy and kids excitedly wrap them round and round.
Changing the background music or putting makeup on the mummy is also recommended.
It’s easy to play and perfect for a Halloween vibe—give it a try!
What’s inside the box?
It’s the familiar game you often see on TV, where you guess what’s inside a box by touching it without looking.
You can put in Halloween-themed spooky items like toy spiders or snakes, or even ingredients like vegetables and fruits, or candies like gummies—the “What is this? Scary!” reactions are sure to liven things up.
Let’s enjoy eating any food used in the game afterward.
Let’s catch ghosts with a ring toss!
The kind of recreation that really livens up a party is, of course, playful activities.
Let’s make a Halloween-themed ring toss and have fun together! You’ll probably start feeling festive from the moment you begin making it.
You’ll need items like cardstock, a drawing board, and some wire.
First, roll the cardstock to create the ring toss targets.
You can also wrap cardstock around a toilet paper roll to make them.
Draw bats or ghosts on the targets, then fix them onto the drawing board.
For the rings, use wire.
Wrap them with colorful tape to give it a party vibe!
Balloon Tape Peeling Game
It’s the classic, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat “Balloon Tape-Peeling Game”! In this game, you stick several pieces of tape onto a balloon and take turns peeling them off one by one.
Since the tape clings tightly to the balloon, you can’t help but get nervous—lifting an edge with your nail or pulling the tape might just make the balloon pop! These days you can find lots of cute Halloween balloons, so why not buy some and give it a try? You can also adjust the difficulty by changing how sticky the tape is!

Ball Catch
A fun ball game you can enjoy indoors is ball catch.
It’s a two-person activity: one person throws the ball, and the other catches it.
Instead of catching with bare hands, use a bowl or a bucket.
For a Halloween twist, using small jack-o’-lantern mascots instead of a ball creates a great atmosphere and is recommended.
You can also decorate the catching bowl or bucket with pumpkin faces to give it a Halloween theme.
Spiderweb Darts
You often see spider motifs in Halloween illustrations and decorations, right? Let’s make a darts game inspired by a spiderweb! You’ll need a paper plate, masking tape, vinyl (electrical) tape, tissues, a marker, and scissors.
First, place strips of masking tape sticky-side up on the paper plate in a spiderweb pattern.
That completes the dartboard.
Next, make what you’ll throw at the target by crumpling tissues into a ball and wrapping them with vinyl tape.
After taping, add Halloween-style decorations, like a jack-o’-lantern face.
And you’re done! Even when you’re not playing, it makes a great Halloween decoration.
