ToggleHalloween games for spooky fun
apple dipping
Have towels ready because things get wet in this traditional Halloween game as guests are divided into two groups. Apples are placed in two large bowls or tubs of water. The guests now have to fish them out with their mouths. The hands are crossed behind the back. The first group to “bite” all the apples out of the water wins. The game can be varied as desired, for example as a timed game. A bowl of water is enough. Similar fun occurs when the children have to bite off fruit jelly rings or “worms” from a string.
scary boxes
For this Halloween game, you will need a cardboard box with cut-out holes for hands for each guest. Into the boxes you put something that feels gross, like spaghetti “worms,” cold lychee “eyes,” popcorn corn “teeth,” or dried plum or raisin “warts.” Each child takes turns reaching into their box and making up a scary story about the object they are feeling. Then it is resolved which object it is. Of course, the game also works with just one box or bag that is refilled after each round and passed on to the next guest.
tell scary stories
Horror stories create a spooky atmosphere. This not only applies to Halloween games like the scary box game described above, but also to itself in a gloomy atmosphere. You can create them in a dark room with the help of candles or a flashlight. When it comes to storytelling, too, many variations are conceivable. For example, a collaborative scary story can be developed. Another player starts with an introductory sentence like “Once upon a time there was a witch….”. The other players now add one or more sentences in turn until a spooky story has emerged. Alternatively, you can tell a scary story while holding a flashlight under your face.
Mummy wraps with toilet paper
Some games are made for Halloween. This also ensures powerful action. One player wraps another player around the mummy with a roll of toilet paper as quickly as possible without tearing the paper. Mouth, nose and eyes remain free of course. The wrapping can be done consecutively for a time or simultaneously in a two-team fight. Whoever unwinds the roll the fastest without tearing wins. Alternatively, the “most beautiful” mummy can also be chosen.
I’m packing my tomb
A scary variant of the memory game “I’m packing my suitcase”: A guest starts with the sentence “I’m packing my tomb…” and completes the sentence with a creepy or disgusting object, for example “bagged blood” or “pus soup”. Then the next guest in the round repeats the sentence and adds another item. It goes on like this. Each player repeats the sentence with the items mentioned above and adds a new item each time. As soon as a player makes a mistake or forgets an item, he is out of the game. The last player left wins.
The Halloween games are great fun not only for kids but also for teens and adults. Just try it! We wish you a lot of fun.
