Looking for Halloween themed activities and games? We've got you covered! We've put together some great Halloween activities that your kids can do as a family or in a group. These activities are also great for Halloween parties or school. We also have a Halloween baby costume contest and a page filled with Halloween Contests & Sweepstakes.

The month of October brings class parties, kids parties, Boy and Girl Scout get-togethers, community gatherings, hayrides, Fall Festivals and Halloween celebrations. Where kids gather to celebrate Halloween, parents and leaders frantically search for unique, fun and creative activities that can be done in a group setting.

Check Out These Halloween Group Activities & Games

“Pin The Face On The Great Pumpkin” – Cut a large pumpkin shape from orange poster board. Cut three triangle shapes from black construction paper as well as a jack-o-lantern type mouth from the black construction paper.  Place on piece of double sided tape on each triangle and mouth shape.Blindfold the child, spin them around three times and allow them to place the facial features on the great pumpkin.

An alternative to this for younger kids is to simply cut a stem shape from green construction paper and allow the children to “Pin The Stem On The Great Pumpkin.”  For this game, tape the facial features to the pumpkin before the game begins.

“Guess The Ghost” – This is a great activity for a classroom party where there are many activities happening at the same time.  Using one white sheet, a parent or teacher randomly (and discreetly) selects one student and takes them to the hallway to put the sheet over him or her.  The parent brings the student back into the room and the remaining children must guess who the ghost is.  To really stump the children, occasionally place the sheet over the principal, school nurse, librarian or other fun loving individual.

“Bobbing For Apples” – A clean alternative to the real thing! Cut a large apple shape from red construction paper.  Place it on the floor.  Place a paperclip on a number of stickers, “no homework” coupons or other lightweight objects. Scatter the paper clipped items all around the apple.  Tie a string to a stick and at the end of the string tie a small magnet. The object of the game is to “bob for apples,” or touch the magnet to a paperclip.  Whatever the child picks up with the magnet is theirs to keep.

“Halloween Treat Ring Toss”  - Again, cut a large pumpkin shape from orange poster board.  Place it on the ground and scatter candies and small items (i.e. eight pack of crayons, play-doh, fruit snacks, etc.) all around the pumpkin. Using diving rings or another type of ring (even doughnuts if you really want to be silly), the child tosses the rings and gets to keep the items that are inside of the ring.
