Halloween-themed games are a fun way to get party guests into the spirit of the holiday and break the ice.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of games to play that are perfect for every age. From bingo and word searches to pumpkin tosses and guessing games, entertainment is easy to find this Halloween.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favorite Halloween party games:<\/p>\n

Halloween Pumpkin Patch Hunt<\/h3>\n

Set up a pumpkin patch indoors or outdoors with real or plastic pumpkins. Hide toys, candy and money inside them. Let guests search for treasures and tally each person\u2019s findings if you want to name a winner.<\/p>\n

Wrap the Mummy<\/h3>\n

Use crepe or toilet paper to wrap one guest as a mummy. Teams should decide if they want to play to create the most artistic, scariest or fastest mummy. When it\u2019s time to unwrap them, make a game out of seeing who can pick up the trash the fastest.<\/p>\n

Pin the Face on the Jack-o-Lantern<\/h3>\n

Just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, your party guests will pin the face on a giant jack-o-lantern. Make this game out of construction paper or felt. Create funny and scary features to pin on a bare pumpkin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"How Many Candies in the Jar?<\/h3>\n

Before guests arrive, fill a jar with Halloween candies and make sure you count how many pieces you\u2019ve placed inside. As guests enter your home, invite them to guess how many candies are in it. At a designated time, reveal the total and award a prize to the person who guessed the closest without going over.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the Box?<\/h3>\n

This game can be as fun or \u201cicky\u201d as you want to keep in line with the theme of your Halloween party. To play, place a variety of objects inside a box with a hole cut into the side or top. Have guests reach into the box and touch what\u2019s inside. They\u2019ll guess what they\u2019re feeling and name up to five objects. After everyone has had a turn, reveal the contents and see who guessed the most items correctly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Halloween Word Search<\/h3>\n

This party game is great for those who want to sit and relax while playing. Before your party, make your own Halloween-themed word search or download one from the internet. There doesn\u2019t have to be a winner.<\/p>\n

Halloween Bingo<\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love bingo? There are plenty of Halloween bingo games online for guests to play, but you might like customizing boards with pictures and markers. Get creative. Use candies to mark spots and use Halloween words or pictures in the squares.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Toss<\/h3>\n

Set a real or fake empty pumpkin on the floor inside your home or outside in the yard. Have party guests toss ping pong balls, bean bags, candy, coins or whatever you like into the pumpkin. Each partygoer gets five tosses.<\/p>\n

Name That Spooky Movie<\/h3>\n

Set up a video screen or computer to run clips of scary movies for five seconds each. Let guests call out the name of the movie as soon as they recognize. You can play for prizes or fun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Scary Halloween Story<\/h3>\n

Start this Halloween game by sitting around a fire or in a circle. Have one guest start a story by saying a spooky sentence. The guest to their left will continue the story with another sentence, with each person taking a turn telling part of the Halloween tale. Set a time to end the lore or finish when everyone seems ready to move on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whispered Ghost Stories<\/h3>\n

Another Halloween story game, this one is played like \u201cTelephone.\u201d One guest will whisper a very short story into the ear of the person sitting to their left. That person will then whisper it to the next guest, and so on. When the story gets back to the original partygoer, it will likely have taken on a life of its own.<\/p>\n

These are just some of the Halloween party games you can play to keep guests entertained and make your event memorable. You can even set up a Halloween craft table for kids<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
