Ideas For Halloween Party Games

If you plan on throwing a party for Halloween, aside from Halloween decorations, and your menu, you’ll also want some Halloween party games to help entertain your guests. The types of games you have at your party will depend on the age group of your guests. Obviously the games you have for an adult party wouldn’t be appropriate for a children’s Halloween party.
To keep the little ghosts and goblins entertained at your next children’s Halloween party, you can try one of these games.
The Halloween Balloon Fight. To play this game you will need enough orange and black balloons so that each player has one. All the children are divided into two teams, with each team having either all black, or all orange balloons. The balloons are tied onto the ankle of each player. The object of the game is for players to try and pop all the balloons of the other team. The first team with all their balloons popped, loses.
Halloween Musical Tombstones: This game is played much the same as musical chairs, except that you use Halloween music, and slip a paper grocery sack over the back of the chairs; using a marker to write R.I.P, and an epitaph. And don’t forget to draw some spooky pictures on them too.
For older kids, or adults, one of the favorite activities for Halloween is telling scary stories. Have everyone sit in a dark room, lit only with carved pumpkins, or flickering lights. Have each person tell a scary story; it can be something made up, or something that really happened to them.
Killer Instinct: This version of Hide and Seek puts a chilling Halloween twist on an old game. The object of this Halloween game is to see if you can get through the night without getting killed. You will need a scary Halloween costume, such as Jason, from Friday the 13, Freddy, or something unique. For this game you will also need a flashlight and a large, dark area in which to play. This game works for both indoors, and outdoors. Everyone, but the person who is it, hides, and the person who is it, puts on a Halloween costume and proceeds to find the party guests. As they find each one, the people who are found, must go lay in the cemetery, as if dead. The last one left that hasn’t been found, is the winner.
These are some fun and scary ways to entertain your guests at your next Halloween Party.
