A Zombie Contest Is So Much Fun
This Halloween game is as fun to watch as it is to play. For this activity explain to kids that they are in a zombie contest, and the best zombie will win a prize. You can also award prizes in several categories such as least dead zombie, cutest zombie, smartest zombie, meanest zombie, and so on. Feel free to be creative. It is nice to provide a category that each kid can win in so no one feels left out. Hand out the prizes like you are handing out award trophies for this Halloween game.
Pumpkin Seed Spitting Contest Are Fun Halloween Games
Another fun game for kids is a pumpkin seed spitting contest. For this game you will need pumpkin seeds, a small pail or bucket, markers, and a piece of poster board. Before the day of the party place the bucket on the center of the poster board and outline it. Then create several circles growing from the size of the bucket to the edge of the paper. Color in each ring differently and assign them point values. To play this Halloween game, have kids line up behind the poster board and spit pumpkin seeds. The kid with the most points wins.
Pumpkin Toss And Roll
For this game, you will need to break the kids into groups of two. You will also need a large pumpkin for each group, tape, bandanas, and rings. Rings can be made by twisting pipe cleaners together or cutting the centre out of plastic coffee can lids. Start the game by drawing a line on both sides of the room or the yard. Then line all of the kids along one line. Have kids tie a bandana on the eyes of one member of the team as a blindfold.
Then have the groups work together to get roll the pumpkin from one line to the next. The blindfolded kid must roll the pumpkin and the other team member must direct him. When the pumpkins reach the final line have the unfolded member return to the first line. This team member will toss all of the rings in their possession onto the pumpkin stem. The team who gets all of the rings on the pumpkin stem first will win. The previously blindfolded member can return the rings to the partner to save time in between throws.
