Fun Halloween activities for kids
Games and activities that children can play for Halloween
Hunt the Pumpkin
Buy some toy pumpkins. Or draw and cut out your own ones on orange card - be sure to give them all lovely expressions. Hide them around your home or garden. Another person will have to hunt them and see how many they find. (You can use other Halloween themed objects too!)
A spooky touchy-feely-box
Get a box and decorate it in the theme of Halloween - you can paint it or cover it with orange, black, and white paper/crepe. Place spooky items inside, such as a rubber eyeball, a blob of slime, toy spiders, fake cobwebs, squirmy rubber worms, and other jelly or rubbery items that you can find. Another person has to close their eyes and feel inside the box to guess the objects.
Halloween Freeze Dance
Here's a fun game to play... All you need is some Halloween music, some Halloween stickers, a D.J, and a few people all dressed up in great Halloween costumes. Groove and dance away. But when the D.J suddenly stops the music, you need to freeze! No moving! If you move, you have to place a Halloween sticker somewhere on you. If you can't find a groovy Halloween tune, we have one for you! Hallo-Halloween by M.C Sherry and D.J Beasty
