Whenever you bring a group of kids together for a party, it's a smart strategy to have a few organized games planned, but especially at Halloween when everyone is revved up from the excitement and candy. The games below will work at both home and classroom parties.
Simply be sure to consider the ages of the children when you select the suitability of the games. Well, go ahead and have a howling good time!
 Wrap the Mummy
Use this game in classroom parties, and it's always a hit;
Divide the children into groups of three to five kids;
Select one child in each group to be a mummy. Next give the other children a roll of toilet paper or crepe paper;
Instruct them to wrap the mummy with the paper, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth uncovered; The first group to be done with their roll of paper wins.
Halloween Freeze Dance
Play Halloween party music or creepy sound effects and tell the children to dance.
When you switch off the music, they all need to freeze: whoever is caught moving during the freeze is out of the game. Winner is the last dancing person.
For an enjoyable variation on this game, tell the children they will need to pose in the Halloween shape you will have called out during the previous freeze. Fun shapes could be: black cat; pumpkin; broomstick; mummy; bat; etc.
Killer.
The children should be old enough to be able to wink in order to play this game. Let the children sit in a circle. Say them close their eyes and you will tap "it" on the shoulder. As the children open their eyes, "it" will need to wink at different kids in the circle without anyone but the selected child seeing the wink. After a child has been winked at, he or she can make a big effect of dying. The purpose of the game is for the other children to guess who the "killer" is;
Whoever guesses, or is the last person not dead becomes the next "killer".
Make the Zombies Laugh
Tell all the children to lie still on the floor like a zombie;
Select one child to be "it";
That child's job is to make the other children laugh.
Make funny faces, dance, and act silly, whatever inspires him or her. Just the once a "zombie" laughs, he or she can join "it" in attempting to make the group laugh. Thus, whoever holds out the longest without laughing is the winner.
