Indoor Halloween Games
1. Cake walk:
It is very similar to 'musical chairs', except put numbers on the floor or carpet with tape, forming a circle. Maybe 20 children. Participants hand in their ticket$, choose a number/position, and when all the spots are pretty much filled, you begin. Using a tape recorder or record player, put some be-boppin' bouncy dance music on, and encourages the walkers to move around the circle, in rhythm to the music. Leader takes one number off the floor. After several rounds of dancing and walking around the room to the music, the Leader stops the music, and everyone claims the spot nearest his/her feet. The person who is left without a number has to leave the game. This continues until there is only one person left. This person is the winter and gets the prize of the cake!
.- 8 ½ X 11 pieces of paper with a number written on them
- cake – with orange and black frosting as the prize.
- We have music – many Halloween songs on Marvin’s usb

· tape
Make tape lines on the floor for each team. Divide the children into teams. Have the children walk backward on line of tape on floor. Go to end of tape, turn around and walk backward to team. First team to finish; wins!
8. Spook Spotter
If you have a large group, you can try in a game of Spook Spotter. It’s one of those games; inside Halloween is actually a game very quiet. To start the game, children form a circle. One child is chosen to be the ghost spotters. The Spook Spotter leaves the room or turned back, while a child is from the district selected for Spook. Spook selects the repetitive, rhythmic movements, without their seats. Movements could include, floating phantom movements, jerky movements zombie, and witch on her broom movements, witch stirring a brew of action. Spook encouraged being creative with his actions.
Once each copy Spook’s action begins the Observer returns to the room and the group observed. The Spook Spotter has the task of guessing who is Spook in three cases. Spook changes of the action as often as possible without being seen by the observer. Each copy follows Spook’s actions. After three hypotheses or assumptions Spook Spotter identity, a new game begins with a new spotter and a new Spook are chosen.
Children need encouragement to not spook as this give the game, look for the observer. Instead, they can analyze the group change and movements, if they notice any change in their movements.
- think of different movements that spooks or ghosts will use.
9. Halloween Whispers
A Halloween indoor games can be played with a large group. This is a Chinese version of the game Whispers. Firstly, all children have a claim on a whole piece of paper. Do not let them show their sentences and the third supervisor collects the sentences.
The children sit in a circle and the supervisor is one of the games of a child in a circle. The child reads the sentence and whispering to the person next to them, whispering, then the next person. This continues around the circle until it reaches the last person, then the group, which is the set, tells achieved. Up to this point, the sentence of the rule has changed, and there will be lots of laughter, that the distorted version is said to the group.
- in a room where students can sit next to each other parallel in teams to “whisper” from one student to another
10. The Trick or Treat bonanza

Cut up some paper strips and on half of them write the word “treat”, on the others write out a number of tricks, such as “hop on one leg”, “growl like a lion” or “sing their favorite song”. Put all of the paper pieces into a hat or a pillowcase and hide some sweets and candies around the room. At the party ask each child to draw a piece of paper from the hat. They then have to perform the trick or search for the treats.
- paper – write on the strips things that would be funny for students to do like “hop on one leg”
11. Halloween Hangman
This popular spelling game is ideal as a Halloween game. The traditional hangman diagram can be used and is most appropriate for this time of year. It can be played in the usual way but instead of using any word, a Halloween themed word can be used. You might use the words vampire, witches, potion and haunted.
A slightly different version can also be used. Instead of using just a word that has to be spelled out, try using a whole sentence. Create a spooky, Halloween themed sentence like, ‘As we walked along the deserted road a fog surrounded us and we heard an eerie wailing close behind.’ Draw a dash for every letter of the sentence leaving a space between the words. The game is then played in the same way as the traditional game. You probably won’t get much of the hangman drawn but it is a good educational Halloween game that gets kids using their spelling skills as they try to work out the words in the sentence.
- room with blackboard, chalk
12. Guess the Gruesome Object
For extra thrills, the host may place a simple object in a large cardboard box or tube with holes cut in each end. The guesser must place the hands inside the holes and guess the object. The twist is the host can place an object that could easily be something more sinister. A wet flannel or a wig could easily be a dismembered hand or a hairy spider. The guesser must try to overcome the suggestions of the cruel host and guess the object. (All objects must be harmless and mundane.) You can use cooked noodles with oil in a bowl also.
- boxes with a hole cut into it and decorated with pictures for Halloween; box open on the bottom so you can put the box over the bowl of noodles, or over the wig.
