You’re in the right place if you want fun Halloween games for kids that are easy to set up, low-cost, and perfect for younger children, older kids, play groups, classrooms, or a family get-together before trick-or-treating. Below are my favorite easy Halloween games and Halloween activities, using simple supplies, quick instructions, and lots of fun for your party guests. Mix a few to create a perfect Halloween party with big Halloween spirit and full of unforgettable memories.

Halloween Coloring Pages and Cupcake Walk

This classic game is always a hit with little kids and is such a fun way to get everyone moving. It doesn’t require much more than music, coloring sheets, and some small prizes. This makes it one of the best Halloween games for kids to create a perfect Halloween party.

As kids arrive at the party, have them select a coloring page to color while waiting for everyone to arrive. Make sure to have one for every kid and make them all different. Check out these awesome free coloring pages you can print and use for this game!

These coloring pages become the “markers” that are laid on the floor for the cupcake walk. Before you begin, write the title of each coloring page on a slip of paper and put them into a bowl.

When it’s time to start the cupcake walk, lay out the pictures in a large circle and have each of the kids stand next to a different picture. Ask the kids to start walking from one coloring page to the next as the music begins and then stop when the music stops. Play fun music appropriate for kids such as Ghostbusters, Adams Family and Monster Mash. Stop the music randomly and draw a slip of paper from the bowl. The person standing next to that picture wins a cupcake or whatever prizes you choose. That child then steps out of the circle and the game continues until everyone has won a prize.

Fun Halloween Bingo Game

These bingo cards, with Halloween-themed pictures are so cute and the kids always have lots of fun playing this game. This is a great game for both younger children and older kids, plus it’s easy to play and doesn’t take long to set up.

If you want to keep these bingo cards to use over and over, laminate them. I’ve used mine for 3 Halloweens so far!

For prizes, use a goodie bag with glow sticks, halloween stickers, plastic spider rings and candy.

Fun Halloween Danger Word Game

Another game that’s always a hit is the Halloween Danger Word Game. It’s a simple and funny guessing game where players try to get their teammate to say the secret word—without slipping up and saying the danger word! It’s easy to set up with these printable cards, works for kids and adults, and is the perfect way to add some extra Halloween fun to your party lineup.

• Candy Eyeballs
• Candy corn
• Candy sprinkles
• M&Ms
• Frosting
• Black piping frosting

Yeah, this activity is going to be a little messy but SO MUCH FUN!

Halloween Headbandz or Halloween Charades Game

You can play this one as Halloween charades OR as Halloween Headbandz. These fun Halloween-themed words and pictures make this game a party favorite! Kids will enjoy these well-known classic games with a spooky twist. To play as charades, kids take turns acting out what’s on the card that they draw, and having their team guess what they’re acting out. To play it as Halloween Headbandzs, put one picture (using tape) on each child’s forehead and don’t let them see the picture. Kids then take turns asking questions until they guess their picture. It’s a great fun guessing game for all ages.

Candy Corn Relay Race

This is a fast-paced, fun Halloween party game. Divide the kids into even teams and start all of the kids on one side of the room or yard. Each team gets a spoon. Make sure all the spoons are the same. At the word “Go!” the first person takes as many candy corn from their bowl, on their spoon and runs across the playing space to dump them in a bowl on the other side without spilling any. If they spill any candy corn, they must stop and put it back onto their spoon. That person then runs the spoon to the next person in line from their team. The first team to get all their candy corn across the yard (or room) wins. Watching each team race to the finish line while balancing candy is a lot of fun for the kids and the parents.

Witch Popcorn Hands

With rings made of plastic spiders, candy corn fingernails, and popcorn, these spooky snacks are a great way to add a not-too-creepy treat. They’re also a fun Halloween activity that doubles as decor!

Just take a plastic food safe glove and place a candy corn in each finger (the fingernail) then fill with popcorn and add a plastic ring.
