Halloween Party
My high school group of girl friends throw a stellar Halloween party every year. The games, food, stories, costumes, treats… have all become tradition to me now. Here are some ideas of how it could go down:
Halloween Party Activities:
- Halloween Party Food:Bobbing for Apples
- Eating Donuts off a string
- Carving Pumpkins
- Monster Mash
- Costume Walkway/Judging
- Haunted Houses (this one is my favorites) Decorating Halloween Haunted Houses is similar to making ginger bread houses at Christmas time. We just use graham crackers and frosting to make the house. Then we decorate with all kinds of orange and black candy and different colors of frosting. We usually build these houses on teams. My favorite part of this is telling the ghost story about the house when we are all done. Each house has a story of what happened on Halloween night, and we take turns telling our spooky stories in the dark with a flashlight.

- Halloween Soup
- Minestrone
- Witches Brew
- Bread sticks
Halloween Party Games:
- Mummy Races/Mummy wrapping contest (after the mummies were wrapped we would always make them race around the house to something and actually have a race)
- Ghost Face/ Flour Game
- Spider’s Web (I love this just as an entry way, welcome to the party game)
- Pumpkin Bowling
- Switcheroo
- Racin’ Monsters
- Halloween Scavenger Hunts: Halloween Treasure Hunt through the house, Create 2 teams, Picture Scavenger Hunt

haha what fantastic photos and really really wonderful ideas you have! I am planning my childrens first halloween party with their first and really want to go all out! Thanks for so many amazing ideas!
Oh my gosh these are fun ideas! I pretty much just want to come party with you all the time! Beckett’s first b-day is right before Halloween and I think we might have to play some of these games!
We a potluck dinner/carnival. Everyone bring a food and booth to share. It is great fun. I think next year I will do the haunted house decorating. That is a great idea!! I love it!
Oh I love the idea of everyone bringing a booth. That makes a carnival totally doable. So fun!
OH we are so doing the carnival next year in our family! What a great idea Stef!!!
