The Best Halloween Game for Kids - Monster Freeze Dance

Monster Freeze Dance is one of the easiest games to play at a kids’ Halloween party. First, gather the kids aka the little monsters in an open area, then put on some dance music, preferably related to Halloween.

Tell the monsters that they need to dance while the music is playing. When the music stops, they need to freeze in place. The monsters who are caught moving when music is not playing will be eliminated. The winner will be the last remaining monster left on the dancefloor!

The Best Halloween Icebreaker Game - Which Villain?

If you have several groups of friends attending your party, you would want them to mingle and not just stick to their cliques. Which Villain? Is a great ice breaker for people who don’t know each other since they will have to talk to each other.

Which Villain is similar to the game Who Am I. Both games are about guessing the character that has been assigned to you. While Who am I can refer to any character. Which Villain is specifically about villains, which is a fun topic for a Halloween party!

How to play Which Villain?

1. Stick a name tag with the name of a villain, preferably a villain from a horror movie, on your guests’ back. Do this as they arrive at the party venue.
2. Once your guests have their name tag, they need to figure out who their character is.
3. Guests can ask each other to get hints about their character.

They will have the perfect excuse to mingle and get to know other people in the party! You can give a time limit for this game so that your guests are motivated!

It’s even funnier if you can assign characters that remind you of your friends! Here are some villains you can use:

• Lord Voldermort from Harry Potter
• Pennywise from It
• The Joker
• Harley Quinn
• Ursula from The Little Mermaid
• Cruella de Ville
• Gaston from Beauty and the Beast
• Kylo Ren from Star Wars
• Loki from Thor
• Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones

The Best Halloween Game while Social Distancing - Halloween Charades

Charades is a flexible party game that you can play for any occasion. You can play it anywhere, whether at a house party or at a virtual party! If you are holding a virtual Halloween party over Zoom, Halloween Charades is a great way to make your party more exciting!

How to play Halloween Charades via Zoom

Halloween Charades is the same as regular charades except that you are guessing words related to Halloween! The main objective remains the same, which is to guess a word or phrase that a person from the opposing team is acting out.

Here are the mechanics:

1. Divide people into two groups.
2. Before starting the game, choose the categories that will be covered in the game. Since you have a Halloween theme, you can go with horror movies, different types of Halloween candy, monster characters, titles of songs related to Halloween, etc.
3. The team that goes first (Team A) will decide which player from their team will act first.
4. Someone from Team B will privately message the person who will act and give them the word that they need to act out.
5. Once Team B sets the timer for one minute, the player from Team A can begin to act the word using gestures and facial expressions only, but not saying anything at all.
6. If Team A guesses the word correctly, they score a point. If they don’t guess it correctly, they don’t get a point.
7. Team B acts next, and the same rules will apply.
8. The team that first reaches the target number of points wins the game!

The Best Halloween Drinking Game That You Can Only Play During Halloween - Boozing for Apples

If kids have Bobbing for Apples as a go-to Halloween game, adults have Boozing for Apples as a party drinking game that is absolutely perfect for Halloween!

There are two ways to play Boozing for Apples.

1. Barrels filled with apples and miniature liquor bottles

The easy way is to fill a tub or barrel with apples, water, and miniature liquor bottles. Players will have to bob for apples or drinks from the barrel. If they get the liquor bottles, then they get to enjoy their Halloween treat!

The Best Halloween Card Drinking Game - Circle of Death / Kings Cup

Circle of Death is the Halloween version of Kings Cup. The rules are pretty much the same except players get to drink your special Halloween concoction instead of beer!

It is a simple card game that gives every numbered card in your playing cards deck a function. This includes the jack, queen, king, and ace cards. In King’s Cup, the cards are placed under the tab of a beer can, and the first to pop it drinks the entire beer.

How to play Circle of Death - Basic Rules

Players sit in a circle, and place a cup of your special Halloween drink in the middle of the table.

The dealer spreads the deck of cards around the middle cup faced down.

One player starts by picking the first card, then turns proceed by the player to their left following with their turn.

The last person who picks a card has to drink the remaining drink!

You also need to know the rules for every card. Check out the Complete Circle of Death Rules
