It might not sound like your typical games for Halloween, but it's something that the little ones will definitely enjoy!

Older

Charades are a great game for older kids, along with the scavenger hunt. You can also have a bit of scary movie trivia, or if you're having a themed party, a bit of trivia based on the movie that your party is based on! You can also play a game where you switch a piece of your costume (of course, keeping things PG) and then try to guess what costume it came from! These are just a few fun games for Halloween that you can play with older kids! Not to mention that there are plenty of other games that you can buy if you like!
