[Childcare] Fun Halloween activities: Halloween games that shine at parties (11–20)
Haunted house
Let’s create a haunted house that kids can enjoy at a Halloween party.
With Halloween items from a 100-yen shop and some scrap materials, you can build an impressive haunted house right at home.
Exploring hallways and rooms will give kids a sense of excitement and fun.
It’s best to prepare it with a playful feel so it doesn’t get too scary.
It’s also fun to spend time thinking about how to make use of your home’s layout to design the haunted house.
You could even prepare a candy treat for the kids who make it all the way to the end.
Guess the Pumpkin’s Weight Quiz
Let’s focus on weight! In everyday life, do you ever have chances to play games that focus only on weight? This time, in the spirit of Halloween, let’s join a game where you guess the weight of a pumpkin.
It could be a hit with a preschool class.
When hosting the game, it’s a good idea to place various objects with their weights labeled as hints.
From there, children may develop the ability to reason, like, “It’s heavier than ○○, so maybe it’s about this much!” For children who find writing numbers difficult, try having them write together with a teacher or guardian.
Halloween True-or-False Quiz
Let’s enjoy seasonal events with a quiz! Here are some ideas for a Halloween true-or-false quiz.
Many preschools and daycare centers probably host Halloween events.
By learning the origins and meanings through a true-or-false quiz, you can deepen the event, so it’s highly recommended! Instead of just answering with true or false, adding brief explanations as key points creates opportunities to learn while playing.
It’s an idea you can adapt to a variety of events.
Give it a try!
In conclusion
We introduced some Halloween activities and games.

A group dance at a Halloween party is sure to get everyone excited!
