Party games keep a Halloween party flowing smoothly. Without games, all there is to do at a Halloween party is mingle and eat, things which can be done on any given day. What differentiates Halloween from other holidays is the exclusivity of the games being played. The ultra fun games listed below are to be played only during Halloween. Moreover, all these games can be adjusted for both adults and kids. In fact, these games provide as much fun for adults as it is for the kids.
Bobbing For Apples
A classic Halloween game, this holiday amusement tradition dates far back as ancient Romans were believed to be performing similar mechanics of this game to honor the Goddess Pamona. The game is rather simple; all you need is a small tub or large plastic, wooden, or metal bowl filled with water and some fresh apples floating. Make sure that both the tub and water are cleaned before using them. Also, remove all stems from the apples and wash them thoroughly. It is also advisable to use smaller sized apples as they tend to be easier to bite into, especially for the kids who will be participating in the game.
As for the mechanics of the game, you’ve probably figured it out by now. Within a time limit, the players take turns retrieving an apple using only their mouths as they try to bite into them and bring them to a nearby bowl or plate. This is more difficult than it seems because the apples tend to bob around in the water as you attempt to bite into them. In the end, the person with the most number of retrieved apples wins the game and is awarded however you want to.
Halloween Hangman
Played by people all over the world for hundreds of years, the Hangman guessing game is simple and only requires two players, a pencil and paper to play. The concept of a Hangman game is that one player, called the challenger, thinks of a word and draws a row of underscores that represent the amount of letters the word in question has. The second player, called the guesser, will then try to figure out the word by guessing different letters. It’s basically like the game The Wheel of Fortune, only far more simplified. To avoid difficulty among the guessers, try to limit the words between four to ten letters long. Every time the guesser suggests a letter that is not included in the word, the challenger draws one piece of the Hangman in the following order: nose, head, body, arm, other arm, leg and finally, the other leg. When Hangman figure has been completed, this means the guesser loses the round and challenger gets a reward.
Halloween Treasure Hunt
The kids love this game and the adults are starting to like it as well as this game is slowly gaining popularity in office parties and college bashes. The object of Halloween treasure hunt is to find all the items found in the “Treasure Bottle” and mark them off the list one by one when located. The first person who finds all items wins. Each player gets a uniform treasure bottle with a note inside stating all the treasure that needs to be found within the compounds of the house, park, hall, or wherever the game is taking place. This can be so fun and entertaining especially when the kids are playing as they tend to take the game too seriously it becomes a bit funny. Further, this is the game that they’ll want to play over and over again, even after they find everything written in the bottle. GP
