Spooky Night

Halloween is not just a time to scare the “bejeebers” out of everyone you see, but also a time to have fun with friends. There’s a ton of things you can do including getting arrested, which isn’t good. So how about keeping your party at home and playing a few safe, and fun games?

One game that always seems to be a hit is the “Mummy Wrap” game. For this game all you need is an even amount of people and toilet paper. The people will break off into teams of two, one person will be the wrapper and one person will be the mummy. The object of the game is to wrap you mummy in toilet paper the best within a certain amount of time, one minute is usually sufficient. You can alternate the people and have the mummy be the wrapper and the wrapper is the mummy, which is one hundred percent up to the host. While this makes for a messy clean up, it also makes for a great time.

Ouija boards (pronounced wee-gee), are always extremely interesting. If you’re really looking for a scare one of these boards would be great. Turn of all the lights in the area except for a small candle, this will really set the mood. Begin randomly asking questions such as, “Is there any one here with us?”, if you’re lucky enough the piece will move. There are warnings though. There have been people claiming to see spirits or claim to be haunted after using the board. In the end it’s really up to the guests in the house.

The host could always have a pumpkin carving contest. This game is probably best for teens and up since sharp knives and cutting tools would be used. If the guests are children however, a scavenger hunt could be a great game if age appropriate.

There is a game called the “Sticker Stalker” that may be a blast for your guests. What you need is a sheet of ten stickers. When each guest comes in hand them one sheet. The object of the game is to get rid of all your stickers by placing them on other guests. If you get caught however, the person who catches you gets to put one of their stickers on you. If you are falsely accused of putting a sticker on someone, you get to put a sticker on that person. Again, another fun game and it can be played by all ages.

Are you looking for some Spooky Games for this Halloween? The first thing lots of us think about when it comes to Halloween is trick-or-treating which is a big part of it. However, what about those kids (and adults!) who are just that bit too old to go round asking for candy or simply don’t want to?

Spooky Halloween parties are a great alternative. They give kids and adults alike the chance to dress up in spooky costumes and have a great time without having to go from door-to-door. However, if your Halloween party is going to be successful, you need some Halloween themed activities.

So let’s take a look at some spooky games that you might want to consider for your Halloween party:

Pumpkin Bowling

Bowling can be a fun game at any time of the year. But if you use pumpkins instead of traditional bowling balls then you can really give it a Halloween feel. For the pins, you could use some halloween tombstones or if you want you could simply use some empty large soda bottles. If you decide to do that then you could give them a spooky feel by painting them white and then drawing eyes and mouths on them so that they look like ghosts. To make them stand up you can either fill them with water and freeze them or add sand or pebbles. Make sure that the winners of your game get a spooky prize.

Bobbing for Apples

This is traditional halloween game that has been played at Halloween parties for many years. You have to fill a large tub with water and then add some apples. Obviously you want to make sure that the water isn’t too deep as you don’t want anyone having an accident! Get those halloween party guests who want to participate to put their hands behind their backs and then try to catch an apple in their mouths. It’s probably best to do this one outdoors because it can get a bit messy with water going everywhere. So you will also want keep some towels to hand. For the kids you might even want to take a look at this great game Bobbing Apples

Pin the nose on the Jack O’Lantern

To play this game you need to draw a large Jack O’Lantern, omitting the nose. Then cut a nose out of black construction paper and place a thumbtack through it. Then you need to blindfold your Spooky Halloween Party guests and spin them around a few times. Then point them in the right direction and let them try to pin the nose on the Jack O’Lantern . The person who gets the nose closest to the right position is the winner.

Wrap The Mummy

For this game, you are going to need some rolls of toilet paper. You should divide the players into groups of three or four. Give each of the groups a roll or two of toilet paper. Each of the groups needs to designate one person as the Mummy with the other players doing the wrapping. The first group to completely wrap the Mummy using all their rolls of toilet paper wins.

Doughnut on a String

This is another of those games which has been played at Halloween Parties for many years. You need to hang some donuts from the ceiling with a piece of string. Each of the players needs to try to eat the entire doughnut without using their hands. The first one to finish their doughnut wins. Whilst you might love jam doughnuts you might want to give them a miss for this game and just use plain ones unless of course you want a lot of mess!

These Spooky Games are certain to bring lots of fun to any Halloween party.
