Make your own Frankenstein bowling
Did you think that throwing cans could be scary? To themost popular party gamesalso includes Frankenstein Bowling. You can easily make your own Halloween Frankenstein Bowling. You'll need ten empty cans or cups, a tennis ball, and craft materials so you can create a sinister demon's gaze, bloody vampire eyes, or a mummy on the can. The already painted cans are stacked on top of each other to form a pyramid.
Bowling from monster skittles
Aim the ball at the scary faces; everyone can throw it three times. The player who has cleared the most cans wins the game. You can hide a Halloween surprise in one of the bottom boxes. The thrower who hits the can of course gets to keep the gift. You are welcome to use empty plastic bottles instead of cans and paint them with paint.
The mummy wrapping game
This dynamic and fun game is very simple and is played by two teams. Each team is given rolls of toilet paper and chooses a child who needs to be mummified. After the starting signal, each mummy must be properly wrapped. Eyes, mouth and nose must remain uncovered. Each child is responsible for wrapping certain body parts.
Don't worry, this game doesn't end in chaos as there is no toilet paper allowed on the floor. One child from each team is responsible for picking up the fallen paper. The winner is the mummy that was fully mummified the fastest.
the eyeball race
For the eyeball race, the children need two table tennis balls, two spoons and pencils to color the balls like eyeballs. In this game, two teams are formed with the same number of players. Each team gets a spoon on which the eyeballs are placed. As soon as the race track with a turning point has been determined, it starts.
Party games for groups
The player must cover the distance with the ball on his spoon without his eyeballs falling off. If that player loses the eyeball, he has to start again at the start. After each successful round, the eyeball is passed to the next team member. The team that gets its players back to the finish line first wins the game.
The apple dipping
Apple dipping is one of the traditional party games that is easy to prepare and still a lot of fun. Float apples in a large bowl full of water. Each player must try to get an apple out of the water without using their hands. If you want to make the game more difficult, remove the apple stems first. Apple diving is a game best played outdoors as the water can overflow.
The horror box
The horror box, also called Horrobox, is one of the party games that really reflects the mood of the festival and feels disgusting and scary. This game is suitable for children aged approx. 6 years. You need an empty cardboard box, a shoe box or an empty tissue box. Cut a hole in the box just big enough for small children's hands to fit through. You can decorate or paint the box according to your taste. For example, glue large spiders onto the scary box and paint a ghost face around the hole that represents the mouth opening.
Design and fill the horror box
Let your imagination run wild and put utensils in the box that feel disgusting and have to be touched by the children. Cold, cooked spaghetti is worms, peeled grapes can be eyeballs, cauliflower is the brain, corn kernels can be bat teeth. Boiled tomatoes are a bloody heart and pretzel sticks are the witch's bones. Jello and slime, skins, etc. feel disgusting. You can use a wide variety of items. If you want to make the game as scary as possible, fill a rubber glove with water and put it in the freezer. The frozen hand will be the highlight of the game.
