4 Halloween Event Ideas For Kids

It goes without saying, but kids love Halloween. These Halloween game ideas are perfect for the costumed, candy-loving youths stopping by your Halloween party. Halloween events are all about spooky ideas with sweet, candy-filled twists, so give those little ones a treat by trying out these fun little Halloween icebreakers!

1. Candy Corn Toothpick Towers

Candy corn is such a classic Halloween treat. Those sweet little candies have more uses than just eating, though! You can make fun shapes and structures from the connected candy corn! It's a fun use of excess candy corn you've got lying around - and once you're done with it, you can eat it all up, of course!

2. Spider Race Game

Halloween party ideas often have plenty of fake spiders and spiderwebs as decorations. So, it's only natural for there to be a game about spiders! Rather than real spiders, kids hold fake, handmade spiders aloft with a length of yarn and try to move the spiders forward without touching them, only moving them by lifting and lowering the yarn. It's a cute and wholesome game that kids love to play.

3. Shoot The Skeleton Game

Skeletons are also popular creatures to dress up as during Halloween! These bony creatures are beloved by children of all ages for being spooky. So, why don't we play a game that involves them? In this Halloween party game, you hang up a fake skeleton and try to shoot slime at it through a squirt gun. It's a simple but addictive game for kids of any age, perfect for a Halloween activity!

4. Halloween Egg Hunt

Halloween activities aren't complete without this classic game! Like Easter, this Halloween scavenger hunt is all about finding spookily-painted eggs hidden in the area. The one who can find the most wins! Not only is it fun to play, but it can also be fun painting the eggs themselves and coming up with clever places to hide them as well.

5. Halloween Bingo

If you love Bingo, why not play this spooky version of Bingo? It's a great way to start your party. Someone must, at random, say several things related to Halloween. If it's on your card, you cross it out. If you get an entire row or column, then it's Bingo!

6. Halloween Charades

Charades but with a Halloween twist! People try to guess what Halloween monster you're trying to be, and if they guess right, they get a prize! Adults who are young at heart will love this thrilling guessing game. How much do you know about those ghastly ghouls and monsters?

7. Spooky Playing Cards

There are many kinds of themed playing cards out there. Like board games for adults, these themed cards can add a festive aura to even an ordinary game of cards! Celebrate the spookiest of seasons by finding a themed set of cards perfect for your Halloween party.

8. Pumpkin Carving Contest

This is the most classic of Halloween activities! Demonstrate your art skills by carving out a spooky face on a pumpkin. You'll need some carving supplies for this, but with some time and effort, anyone can make a beautifully carved pumpkin during this spooky season! Afterward, decorate your home with hollowed-out pumpkins to create that wonderful, festive atmosphere.

4 Exciting Outdoor Halloween Activities

Enjoy the great outdoors this holiday season with these perfectly fun, exciting outdoor Halloween festivities. You won't be limited to just your house when you play these fun contests - anyone and everyone can join in and share the fun!

9. Halloween Themed Scavenger Hunt

A festive Halloween scavenger hunt is a perfect way to kick off the spooky season. Hide themed, festive Halloween items scattered in various spots all over your neighborhood, and have everyone try to find as many as they can! It's a great and fun way to enjoy the outdoors.

10. Scary Treasure Hunting

This one is just like the scavenger hunt above, only this time, you'll be given clues! In this fun game, people form groups and try to solve spooky riddles and monster trivia on a hint given to them - when they answer correctly, they find the next clue. It's a good way to show how much you know about Halloween!

11. Ghost in The Graveyard

Ghost in The Graveyard is a fusion of Tag and Hide & Seek, except often played at night! One player, the ghost, must hide in the play area, trying to avoid being tagged. Then the other players must try to find and tag the ghost before running to the safe area. The last one to reach the safe area becomes the next ghost. It's a seriously addictive game for young kids and adults alike!

12. Pumpkin Bowling

Bowling, except with pumpkins! Try to hit all the pins by bowling a pumpkin into them. Even if it isn't a major change to the game, it's still a fun way to enjoy yourself during the festivities. For the most fun, invite some friends over and keep score! Imagine what would happen with an actual bowling ball if you could get a turkey with a pumpkin.

4 Drunk-Worthy Halloween Drinking Party For Friends

While the kids play are busy with contests and prizes, you might be tempted to break out the booze. After all, a celebration isn't at all complete without a toast! Luckily, there are ways to make the simple act of drinking fun this Halloween season, and I'll show you what they are.

13. Trick Or Drink

With plenty of people trick-or-treating during October, here's a fun way to take advantage of that: every time the doorbell rings and you hear "Trick or Treat," take a sip. Depending on how packed your neighborhood is, it can be a fun little extra or a serious drinking match between you and your friends. Have some candy with what you're drinking!

14. Slap Cup Game

Slap Cup is a pretty classic game that, nonetheless, can become pretty intense! Everyone must try to get a ball into an empty cup as fast as possible. If you manage on your first try, you can pass your ball and empty cup to anyone you want. On later tries, you can pass it to the person on your left. If you manage to get your ball in the cup faster than the person immediately to your left, you can slap their cup off and pass your ball and cup to that person's left! Everyone repeats this until the cups in the middle have been emptied.

15. Truth Or Drink

A classic game of Truth or Dare, except the dares are replaced with drinking. Over at Mantelligence, we've covered some dares... but you won't be using them in this game. Instead, you either answer a question or take a sip from your drink. The longer you all play, the harder it becomes to do anything - you either struggle to answer your questions or pass out from drinking. It's a fun way to get wasted this season, but beware of hangovers!

16. Never Have I Ever Game - Halloween Edition

A Halloween-themed drinking game like this is less about the frights and more about the laughs. Someone must state that they have never done X: they must take a sip if someone else has done X. If no one else has done X, then the person stating it must take a drink. The fun part is when only one other person has done X: they have to talk about it in as juicy a detail as possible! At any rate, be ready for a lot of laughs and drinking as you try to find something other people have done, but you have never done it yourself. At Mantelligence, we have done such "never have I ever" games!

Party Prize Ideas For The Brave Heart Winners

Ordinarily, you'd give candy to the people who win during Halloween, right? But that's so... typical. Instead, try spicing things up by giving people spooky, scary objects for when they win! Spooky skeleton figurines, fake ouija boards, Halloween-themed items... There are plenty of possibilities for fun gifts that stay away from the norm. For bonus points, try to cater the rewards to the activity that they won a prize for! Give someone a spooky egg during a Halloween Egg hunt, and they'll remember their success during the next spooky season.

Why We Celebrate All Hallows Eve

At Mantelligence, we've covered some Halloween trivia to get you started.

Halloween, known in Christianity as All Hallows' Eve, is the eve before All Hallow's Day. It is a holiday in which we celebrate all the saints who have gone to heaven. So, the day before that is a day in which we pay respects to the dead. Devout followers often refrain from eating meat on the day itself and pray in churches to respect the fallen. Trick or treating is born of the tradition in which people ask for alms in exchange for prayer.

Another possible origin for Halloween is the Gaelic holiday of Samhain, which means "summer's end." The Celtic people believed that the dead would walk among the living on this day. To commune with them, they donned costumes, lit bonfires, and offered sacrifices of cattle to them. In modern times, this ancient tradition has been reborn as a day of dressing up as frightening creatures themselves - now known as modern Halloween.
