Exciting Halloween Games! Ideas That Kids and Adults Will Love (31–40)
Wobbling Pumpkin Tower
Stack Jack-o’-lanterns without letting them topple! Here are ideas for a wobbly pumpkin tower.
Make Jack-o’-lanterns bigger than the kids’ faces and play a full-body game! You’ll need orange and black plastic bags, newspaper, yellow vinyl tape, more newspaper, and bubble wrap.
The key is not to overstuff the colored bags with newspaper—leave some room so they flatten slightly.
Give it a try!
Wobbly Pumpkin Plastic Bottle Knockdown

When it comes to Halloween, the pumpkin-themed jack-o’-lantern is a must.
This time, try attaching a weighted jack-o’-lantern to the tip of a fishing rod and challenge yourself to a game where you knock over water-filled plastic bottles.
The wobbling jack-o’-lantern might not hit the bottles where you aim, which can be frustrating.
But don’t give up—keep trying!
Candy Carrying Game

Fun for kids as young as 2! Here are ideas for a candy-carrying game.
When you think of Halloween, many of us picture sweets, right? This time, let’s make big candies out of origami paper or colored plastic bags and play with them.
Use masking tape to draw a line on the floor and have the children walk along it while balancing the big candy on a ladle or a spatula.
The key is to move carefully so you don’t drop it! If elementary school children or older are participating, it’s a good idea to create a more challenging course.
Halloween ping-pong ball game
https://www.tiktok.com/@bensonbros/video/7427227464029474091A game that will excite kids! Here’s a Halloween ping-pong ball game idea.
Make a board with holes or dimples and write random numbers at the bottom.
Prepare paper or plastic cups in the same quantities as the numbers and assign numbers to them.
Put candy or small prizes inside, and you’re ready! Children drop a ping-pong ball into a dimple and win the prize inside the cup with the corresponding number.
It’s a unique idea that’s sure to thrill and excite!
Ghost Busters! Game

A game you can play with excitement! Here’s an idea for a “Chase the Ghosts Out” game.
If you’re thinking of including a game that uses ghost motifs for a Halloween party, this is a great recommendation.
For this game, you’ll need plastic bottle caps, white round stickers, a permanent marker, yellow round stickers, and masking tape.
Use the masking tape to make a square frame, then place caps inside the frame with white round stickers on them, each with a ghost face drawn on it.
Flick the cap with a jack-o’-lantern face (drawn on and stuck on a cap) with your finger to knock the ghosts out of the frame.

Candy fishing

Aim for your favorite treats and reel them in! Here’s a candy fishing idea you can use.
It’s a fun activity that works for both large and small Halloween parties.
Attach clips to the candy, and use a fishing rod with a magnet on the tip to “catch” the treats! The trick is that big candies can throw off the balance and are hard to catch.
Choosing which candy to go for will be fun for the watching parents, too.
Give it a try at your event!
Candy Hunt

Turn it into a thrilling, heart-pounding event! Here are some candy hunt ideas.
Many of you probably played treasure hunt games when you were little, right? This time, set the “treasure” as candy and play a candy hunt.
You’ll need origami paper, colored plastic bags, scissors, and tape or ribbon.
If you include a step where you make the candy yourselves, it’ll double the fun.
Since children as young as two can play, this idea works great when a Halloween party includes kids of various ages!
