Some fun Halloween games and activities

 Pin The Tail on the Black Cat: This is a take on 'pin the tail on the donkey'. Put a
picture of a tail-less black cat on the wall, blindfold the students, spin them around
and see if they can pin the tail in the right place. The nearest wins a prize/points.

 Melt the Witch Game: Materials: A chalkboard, colored chalk, sponges, bucket of

water. Directions: Draw a witch's head , or whole body on the chalkboard. Fill the

bucket with water and sponges. Have children stand close enough to the board to be

able to hit it accurately with a wet sponge. Place water bucket and sponges near this

spot. Tell the children to take turns throwing wet sponges at the witch to try and

"melt" her away. As the witch becomes wet and water drips down the board, it will

appear as if she is melting. Be sure the children are squeezing out to the sponges

before throwing.

 Pass the Pumpkin: Students sit in a circle. Provide a plastic pumpkin for children to

pass while the teacher plays some music. Children pass the pumpkin to the tempo of

the music. Alternate between fast and slow. When the music stops the child who has

the pumpkin stands and takes a bow. Continue.

 Pass the Vampire Bat: Supplies: one straw for each child / bat shapes cut out of

tissue paper. How To Play: Divide the class into 2 teams and line up each team. 

Students pass the tissue bats down the line, teammate to teammate, by inhaling and

exhaling on the straw to hang onto or release the ornament. No hands! The first

team to successfully pass the bats up and down the line wins!
