Ideas for Games to Liven Up an Elementary School Halloween Party

Ghost Hunt with a Flashlight Game

No.123 “Let’s Find Ghosts with a Flashlight!” [Handmade Toy by a Nursery Teacher]

This is a unique activity where you use a light to find hidden ghosts in an illustration.

Laminate and cut out Halloween-themed images such as pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats, along with the house.

If you don’t have a laminator, you can use OPP tape as a substitute.

Stack the illustration with the house on top, then tape one side to finish.

You can also make a version without window grids by cutting out the window frames and attaching copy paper.

When you shine a light on the window area, the illustrations appear, creating a game that lets you enjoy a Halloween atmosphere.

Spiderweb Darts

[Playable Craft] Spiderweb Darts (Halloween Craft & Handmade Toy) [Paper Plates and Masking Tape) Tarantula

Spiderweb Darts is a Halloween-style twist on regular darts.

Use masking tape on a paper plate to create a target with a spiderweb pattern.

Instead of dart arrows, use Halloween-themed characters like jack-o’-lanterns and spiders.

It’s easy to make with masking tape and tissue, so it would be fun to try with kids! Stick it on the wall at a Halloween event or party and have everyone play together.

Skipping Halloween, just plop.

Make a paper-cup cracker and a cellophane tape target to liven up your Halloween party.

First, the paper-cup cracker is easy: cut out the bottom of a paper cup and attach a balloon to it.

Balloons can come off easily, so secure them firmly with duct tape or similar.

Pull the balloon back to launch the pellets.

For a target that the pellets will stick to, just cover it with cellophane tape.

Try making pumpkin heads or ghost-shaped targets for a Halloween vibe.

Using orange or purple pellets will boost the Halloween feel even more.

A Ghost’s Photocopy

Here’s a game where you play with ping-pong balls using tongs or a spoon.

Prepare tongs, a spoon, two baskets (such as spiderweb-themed baskets), and ping-pong balls (ones with drawn faces are recommended).

Choose tongs or a spoon according to the child’s age, and carry the ping-pong balls from one basket to the other.

If you can carry them successfully, you win.

It’s tricky to transport slippery ping-pong balls with tongs or a spoon, but the suspense makes it exciting and perfect for Halloween! It’s a game everyone can enjoy, so give it a try.

Trick-or-Treat Game

American Halloween 🎃 Trick-or-treating at home!

As expected, “trick or treat” really captures the spirit of Halloween and is perfect for enjoying at elementary schools! The mischievous nuance of “Give me candy if you don’t want a trick,” is also irresistibly cute.

It’s the classic activity where children go around homes and other places saying the phrase and receiving treats.

Candy is believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, which is said to have led to today’s tradition.

It’s wonderful when children in masks and costumes get to be the stars and have fun.

It seems there are two ways to respond: by saying “Happy Halloween!” or by offering a “treat” as a sign of hospitality, so please enjoy the interaction with the kids.
