Planning a Halloween party for kids and the family? Whether it's at home or at a local venue, this guide has everything you need to throw an unforgettable Halloween bash.
From creepy decorations to fun-filled games and creative crafts, your party will be the highlight of the season! Let's get started on creating the ultimate spooky celebration.
Spooky Decorations to Set the Mood
Set the stage for your Halloween party with decorations that will transport your guests into a world of eerie fun!
Pumpkin Balloons: Inflate orange balloons and draw jack-o’-lantern faces with a black marker. Hang them around the venue to give it a festive feel.
Haunted House Entrance: Drape spider webs, fake spiders, and ghostly sheets around your entrance to create a haunted house vibe. A fog machine adds the perfect spooky effect.
DIY Halloween Banners: Make Halloween-themed banners with sayings like “Beware!” or “Happy Halloween.” Add bat or ghost cut-outs to make them even creepier.
To complete the spooky atmosphere, make sure you play Halloween soundtracks filled with eerie noises or Halloween-themed songs!
Fun Halloween Games for Kids
Keep the little monsters entertained with these exciting and age-appropriate Halloween games:
Pumpkin Bowling:
Create your own bowling game with small pumpkins as the bowling balls and use plastic bottles decorated with spooky faces as pins.
Set up a lane and let the kids knock down as many pins as they can!
Mummy Wrap Race:
Break the kids into pairs and give each team a roll of toilet paper. One child wraps the other as a mummy, and the fastest team to fully wrap their mummy wins!
This game is a guaranteed laugh fest and perfect for younger kids.
Pin the Hat on the Witch:
Just like “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” but with a spooky twist! Blindfold the kids and have them try to pin a hat onto a witch's head.
Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe:
Draw a tic-tac-toe grid on a large board or cardboard, and instead of Xs and Os, use mini pumpkins and small ghost figurines.
Ghost Hunt:
Hide small ghost figures or paper ghosts around the party area and have the kids search for them. The one who finds the most ghosts wins a spooky prize!
Halloween Party Food Ideas for Kids
Every party needs delicious treats to keep the little monsters happy! Here are some spooky-themed party snacks that are both fun to make and eat:
Monster Cupcakes: Bake cupcakes and decorate them with green or purple frosting. Use candy eyes, sprinkles, and gummy worms to make your cupcakes look like funny monsters.
Mummy Hot Dogs: Wrap crescent dough around hot dogs to make them look like mummies, then bake until golden. Add ketchup eyes using a toothpick.
Witch’s Brew Punch: Make a green punch using lime sherbet and soda, and serve it in a cauldron. Add gummy worms and plastic eyeballs for a spooky touch.
Capture the Moment
Create a fun photo booth area with Halloween-themed props. Use a spooky backdrop (like a haunted house scene) and props like witch hats, vampire fangs, and monster masks. Kids will love striking a pose in their costumes!
