Halloween Games: Fiendishly Good Fun
Halloween games are a great way to keep your party guests entertained. You can find games to delight friends and family members of almost any age -- and they're an amusing complement to the spooky decor and wacky Halloween costumes that traditionally feature at a party.
Like many other holiday customs, traditional Halloween games are often influenced by the season. As this celebration arrives during the fall with its harvest associations, popular Halloween games often reflect autumn themes and decorations.
Everyone knows the jolly 'apple bobbing' game, where competitors have to catch an apple that's floating in a bowl of water or is hanging on a piece of string -- using only their teeth!
A variation of this game involves passing an apple round a team of players, without using hands. Each time the apple falls, the player or team that drops it loses a point.
Many other games draw on spooky themes such as the Haunted House, ghost stories and other eerie amusements. And when it's time to take a rest from decorating pumpkins, cooking Halloween-inspired recipes and trick or treating, there are entertaining pencil and paper Halloween games that let you relax as you play!
