Game ideas and activities for your Halloween party

The countdown to Halloween has kicked off.

If your spooky season plans involve a cozy night in, you may want to consider some Halloween-themed games. We’ve rounded up a few that the whole family will love.

Trunk or Treat

Whether you’re gearing up for a night on the town, having people over or staying in with the kids, trunk or treat is a great way to start off Halloween night. Decorate your trunk and allow trick or treaters the joy of seeing your creative designs while snagging some candy.

Scavenger Hunt

Who doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt? Halloween scavenger hunts are perfect for all ages — especially if there’s a prize to win at the end. Online shops like Etsy and Sunny Day Family have great print outs for $1.49. Or you can check out this DIY version on YouTube.

Pumpkin mini golf

This idea is a twofer. These pumpkins are great decorations, but they also serve as spooky mini golf holes. Set them up in your back yard or even around the house. You can buy pre-cut plastic pumpkins or carve them yourself.

Bingo!

Halloween Bingo will always be a hit. These free printable designs are perfect to get the party started. Kids can use their favorite candy as bingo chips, and be sure to have a prize at the end.

Mummy bowling

Any plastic bowling set can be transformed into a frightfully fun Halloween version of the game. You’ll just need some gauze bandages (or toilet paper) and some googly eyes.
