Things You'll Need:
- Internet access
- Halloween music CDs
- Halloween decorations
-
Step 1
Consider a theme. This will help you narrow your selection to determine which games are going to be best for your Halloween party. For example, if you have a murder mystery theme, all your games can center around finding out "whodunit." If you have a Harry Potter theme, all your games can focus on book-related trivia.
-
Step 2
Buy decorations that will facilitate easy movement and game play. Keep streamers and other ceiling embellishments hung high, allowing at least 6 feet of headroom.
-
Step 3
Play scary Halloween music to enhance the ambiance of your party during games. Amazon offers a wide selection of Halloween CDs at fairly inexpensive prices (see Resources below).
-
Step 1
Play "Make a Mummy" with adults or children. Using a single roll of two-ply toilet paper, see who can make the best mummy out of another person.
-
Step 2
Test the memory of your guests. Place a single 9-by-12 baking pan on a table, filled with scary objects (such as fake eyeballs, severed hands and so on). Allow your guests to look at the pan for 10 seconds, and then cover it. The person who can correctly remember the greatest number of objects after the pan is put away wins a prize.
-
Step 3
Play Halloween charades. In this version, every clue has to be related to the holiday in some scary way!
-
Step 4
Fill a large mixing bowl with a strange substance (peeled grapes, cold spaghetti noodles, etc.) and pass it around a dark room while all the guests have their eyes closed. The first person to guess the substance wins. This can also be a fun game when accompanied by a spooky tale about the origin of the bowl's contents.
