Halloween Party Games

Where do I begin?

"Halloween Party Games are some of the
activities the Kids Remember Best! If they live through them that is,....mu, ha! ha! ha! ha!"

Of course we have done all of the familiar ones:

Bobbing for Apples

Pin the tail on the witch

--make sure you spin the student around well, have their eyes well covered and pre-teach go left, go right, go straight, go forward, go back etc. Is a good basic English direction learning activity all by itself.

What would a Halloween party be without a haunted house right?

We play scary music and sounds from a CD player and the teachers hide (in scary costume) in the haunted house. We have done this in a small space--made a small haunted house using tables, chairs, and blankets. We have also used our whole Canadian, Victorian house and played haunted house hide and seek. Basicly it was find the monster in the house but don`t get caught.

Identify the Object:

We used a box and put different things in it and the students had to identify which Halloween icon it was. Wet, sticky spaghetti was witches hair for example. We used common objects in other words to symbolize a common Halloween icon.

Mummy Race

All of the kids were mummified! We wrapped them in toiletpaper and had a monster race. Only their legs were not wrapped from the knee down so they couldn`t move so well.

Plus two or even three children were wrapped up together so theyhad to work as a team to move. This was very fun for everyone!

Trick or Treat?

Not having many houses to visit in Japan, we just gave out candy as they kids left, but they had to say, "trick or treat."

Halloween Coloring

Color the witch, the goblin, the monster etc.

Costume Contest

The students line up in their costumes and the teachers vote secretly for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Sometimes we just had the best boy`s costume and the best girl`s costume.

They get a special prize.

However be sure to give all the children something before they leave the party. We give them chocolate during the Trick or Treat activity mentioned above.

At Kaboose they have Creepy Coloring: You and the children can color in the Halloween pictures on your computer or print them out to color in the class or at home.

In Transylmania Your castle has been invaded and you must get rid of the humans turning them into the walking dead!
