Halloween Party Games
We have put together our top 5 recommended Halloween Party Games for families:
- Wrap the (Egyptian) Mummy – this game is a fantastic ice breaker. Hand out a roll of white toilet paper to each family. Advise each team that they have to choose who will be the wrappers and who will be the Mummy. Set a time limit of 2 minutes and judge the winner at the end! Fantastic fun and a great photo opportunity!
- Ghost Hunt by Torchlight – Hide our spooky characters around your local neighbourhood and set families off to follow the trail of clues leading them back to your house and a pumpkin full of treats.
- Pictionary – Write Halloween words on 12 bits of paper, fold them up and place them in a pumpkin (The words need to be easy to illustrate e.g. Vampire, Ghost, Pumpkin, Witch, Coffin, Skeleton, Haunted House, Mummy, Graveyard Bat, Spider, Monster). Divide party guests into 2 teams and they take it in turns to illustrate the word on their piece of paper. Keep score so that you can determine the winning team!
- Make a body parts guessing game – cut hand holes in a large box and sit as many bowls as you can inside the box. Fill the bowls with the following: 1. Hair (an old wig), 2. Guts (cooked, cold spaghetti), 3. Eye balls (a tin of lychee floating in water) 4. Congealed blood (mashed up strawberry jelly) 5. Finger bones (a packet of twigglets) 6. Toe nails parmesan shavings. Maybe you can make up a few more.
- Edible or Deadible – Rig up a washing line with 5 pictures of harmless leaves or herbs and 5 poisonous ones. (If you are feeling adventureous use actual plants and leaves from around your garden but make sure no-one touches the poisonous ones and you dispose of them properly). Ask the group to stand at one side if they think the substance is edible and at another if they think it is ‘deadible’. A little explanation about what the plant is will add to the enjoyment of the game. Children love it when adults get this wrong. Plant Suggestions:
- Poisonous – foxglove, primula, yew, Ivy, horse chestnut, St Johns wort, Daffodil, Hyacinth, lupin, Christmas rose.
- Edible – Dandelion, nettle, nasturtium, pansy, rose, fuchsias, chrysanthemums, rosemary, mint and thyme.
(If you don’t have these in your garden you can always find a picture on the internet – but make sure you dispose of this game very carefully!)
