Halloween Kids Party Activities

Whenever you invite a bunch of young children to a party, especially one with lots of sugary candy, you have got to offer them lots of fun things to do with their energy. I love to marry my party theme with fun Halloween party activities. Always keep prizes on hand; it will inspire all of the shy guys and girls to participate. Lucas had a pumpkin carving contest at our party and the winner won a big troll doll! 

Great ideas for kids Halloween party activities:

• Make your own house into a "haunted house"
• Contest and prize for the best costume
• Storytelling
• Put on a Halloween cartoon DVD
• Decorate your own candied apple
• Carve and decorate your own pumpkin
• Have a pumpkin hunt (similar to an Easter egg hunt)
• Play Halloween Hot potato with a pumpkin or gourd
• Have the adults dress in costumes too!
• Halloween yo-yos
• Halloween Character Finger Puppets from Oriental Trading
• Ghost Dartboard from Oriental Trading
• Face painting
• Bubble Blowing
• Make your own pumpkin masks with foam paper or paper plates
• Pumpkin patch toss with carved out pumpkins and ping-pong balls
