Halloween Games for Teens

Do you remember the egg and spoon race? Well add this little touch to make it Halloween themed. Use markers to paint the eggs like blood shot eyeballs. Make sure that the eggs are room temperature so you don't have smears everywhere. I like to boil the eggs for easier cleanup and making the teens eat them if they drop them so they get added protein. Of course, someone who is allergic to eggs, would be excused. I also like to use orange and black plastic spoons for a more Halloween festive touch.

Pumpkin Bowling

You will need 10 empty two liter bottles and a couple of pumpkins that are about the same size of a bowling ball. Add 2 cups of water to each bottle and red food coloring until it is blood red. Set the bottles up as you would bowling pins and have fun watching teens trying to knock down the pins with a very uncooperative bowling ball. For added fun, I like to paint the pumpkins with acrylic paint making them look like monster heads.

Apple Bobbing

This is a classic game but still a lot of fun. Just use a large cauldron for the Halloween theme and fill it with water. Add apples. The teen that can get the most apples using only their mouth, wins!

Blind Man's Luck

For this you will need a variety of foods or stuff that represents body parts. Each teen is blindfolded and has to identify the body part using only touch. I actually buy the animal parts at the grocery store. It's a lot of fun watching them squirm when they start touching and trying to identify the parts. So that it is fair, you set this up in a separate room and each teen is blindfolded before entering. The teen that identifies the most parts, wins! To add a little more Halloween theme to it, you (or whoever is hosting this part of the game) can dress up like a butcher.

Mr. Pumpkin Head

I'm sure you've heard of "Pin the tail on the donkey". Well this is what I came up with for a Halloween spin. Buy one large pumpkin and punch holes where the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth would go. If you don't already have Mr. Potato Head Parts, it's not that expensive to buy a new one. Place the parts in a small cauldron and blindfold the game player. They have to use their hand to dig out a part from the cauldron and try to place it in the right hole. Once they've filled all six holes, take off the blindfold so they can see their masterpiece. The teen who gets the most parts placed correctly, wins!
