- Pin the Nose on the pumpkin
You've heard of Pin The Tail On The Donkey right? Well this Halloween it's time to play Pin The Nose On The Pumpkin. Get a picture of a pumpkin and paste it on the wall. Then get some pin stickers or some colored tape and have the kids stand in line with a piece of tape each. You're going to need something to cover their eyes and then let them try to guess where the pumpkins nose is. At the end of the game the player who gets closest to or who hits the nose will win a prize.

- Hide and seek the pumpkins
All kids love to play hide and seek. If you have a fenced backyard or front yard that's definitely the place to play; if you don't however use the living, tv, or play room inside of your house to play this. What you need to do is get some small pumpkins, number them at the bottom, and then hide them. Once you've hidden them ask the kids to go out and find them and then praise the 3 kids who collect the most pumpkins.

- Halloween Bingo
To play bingo during Halloween all you have to do is get some sheets of paper and make it into 9 or 12 squares. Then place random Halloween words inside of those squares. Make about 20 sheets of paper like that, all with different combinations. Then place candies in the middle of the table so that the kids can use those as chips to cover up the words that you call out that they have. Once you have made the bingo sheets make a set with all the words you used for yourself and shuffle them before you start calling them out. Play 5-10 games and you'll see this will be great. Candy bags are great prizes for the winners of each game.

- Party hat decorating
If you go to Walmart and you look for plain orange, purple, or black party hats you are sure to find some for a low price. You are also sure to find markers, construction paper, and even scissors and glue; you can get glitter if you want too or other small decorations as well. Once you have all of these materials what you need to do is set up about 3 or 4 tables with all materials and then allow a set time for the kids at the party to decorate Halloween themed party hats for themselves. When a timer goes of or when the time ends you will judge what team has made the best party hats and then award them with a small prize.

- Halloween Pictionary
This is the game that will keep everyone wanting to play over and over again. What you need to do is get a dry-erase board with some dry-erase markers and place it on a wall. Then make some small papers with Halloween words on them like witch, ghost, pumpkin, haunted house, zombie, and others and place those little papers in a basket or in a cup. Once you're ready to get started separate the kids into two groups and then have them flip a coin to see who goes first. Whoever goes first has to chose a paper from the cup or basket and then try to draw what it says on the board. The teams will have to try and guess what it is. If his/her team guesses then they get the point. The team with the most points should get a prize at the end.
