Halloween is by far one of my favourite times of the year, even as an adult. My love for Halloween all stemmed from my childhood where I had felt like the best parties the haunted night had to offer me. So, the pressure of trying to make sure your kids get the same experience is not something that any of us want to deal with.
Never fear! Because we have prepared 6 super spooky games that your little monsters will love. Not to mention, we definitely need a way to get all of that sugar-filled energy out of their systems and into bed at the end of the night
Witch Hat Ring Toss
This game is super easy to make and your kids will love it. Use party hats or make your own black cones and stick them to a board, surrounding each cone with a black rim to make them more hat like! Go to town and decorate your hats any way you like, a coloured buckle is simple and effective for that splash of colour. Add a few cobwebs and maybe a touch of glitter to add that finishing touch. This idea was lovingly pinched from http://sometimescreative.blogspot.com/2011/11/halloween-party.html
How Many?
No matter where you go, this is a classic game that people of all ages take part in to win something. Just make sure that you know the real answer!
Monster Attack
Who doesn’t love being allowed to throw things? This can knock-down is the perfect way to show those monsters whose boss! All you need is a few old cans to decorate and something to throw at them! Add a little more excitement and offer some candy for anybody with that perfect monster-slaying throw.
Bobbing for Apples
This game is an absolute classic. Tie your hair back, take off your masks, and go to town. Something about dunking your head in water for something you little monsters would normally have to be forced to eat is a real treat in itself. Better get small apples though, or else they will be there all night!
Eyeball Racing
Who doesn’t love a bit of competition? All you need for this are some felt tips, ping pong balls, and a spoon for each of your competitors! Simply draw your gruesome eyeballs, balance them in a spoon, and watch your competitors race to not drop the eyeball and win the race!
Pin the Wart on the Witch
No party is complete without this twist on a classic game. Blindfold your little monsters, spin them around, and watch them stumble towards the board. A game that not only the children will enjoy, but so will you. Something about this game always makes me chuckle to watch, and I’m sure you will join me there.

Now that the hard part is out of the way, all that is left to do is decorate your house into the scariest on the road, and make sure your monsters don’t run rampant and destroy the place from hunger!
