Best Outdoor Halloween Games for Kids
So many of these games for kids are the classic Halloween games that we all grew up enjoying. They are a tradition for a reason and I can’t wait to share them with my kids this fall season. We used several of these outdoor Halloween games at my kids’ school for their Halloween class party. The kids loved it!
Fall House

Giant Spider Web
Our favorite activity every year is to weave a giant wool and twig web to hang outside the front door to frighten the neighbors! The size of the spider that would inhabit such a web is absolutely scary! (photo below) via mollymoocrafts
Boo Bowling

Best Halloween Games for Your Party
Throwing a Halloween party for kids is one of my favorite types of kids’ parties. It is so easy to theme, find cute and creepy decorations for, the food is awesomely silly and then everyone dresses up.
What more could you want from a Halloween party for kids?
Oh, games! Yes, that too…so many fun games to play and so little holiday time.
