fun halloween party ideas

Halloween is one of those holidays that both kids and grown-ups enjoy.  It's a night to express your creativity freely and have loads of fun with full license to stock up and hoard your candy stash.  Over the years, Halloween has grown into a sophisticated, adult celebration. Return to the fun kids had years ago with these basic but fun Halloween party ideas for kids. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

 

Costume contest – After  all your guests have arrived, take a vote on the best and scariest costumes. Add as many categories to your list as you want and hand out a small prize for each  category.  At the end of the day, award the grand prize to the best costume overall.

Pumpkin carving contest – This should be supervised by a grown-up. Separate the kids into small teams of 2-4.  Provide small pumpkins and markers to each team.  See who can draw the funniest or silliest face into a pumpkin and have an adult carve out the face according to the kids' instructions.

Make a mask – Provide younger kids at your Halloween party with construction paper, round-ended scissors, markers and glue. Let them make their own face masks for the party. Punch a hole in both sides of the mask and tie string or tiny elastic on the mask.
