So you're throwing a Halloween party this year for your kids, eh? Have you thought about how you're going to entertain your little guests? Here are some cool kids Halloween games that will make your party a hit with kids of all ages!

Wrap the Mummy '

• I've often used this game in classroom parties, and it's always a hit.
• Divide the children into groups of three to five kids.
• Select one child in each group to be a mummy.
• Then give the other children a roll of toilet paper or crepe paper.
• Instruct them to wrap the mummy with the paper, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth uncovered.
• The first group to be done with their roll of paper, wins.

Make the Zombies Laugh

• Tell all the children to lie still on the floor like a zombie.
• Select one child to be "it".
• That child's job is to make the other children laugh.
• "It" can make funny faces, dance, act silly, whatever inspires him or her.
• Once a "zombie" laughs, he or she can join "it" in attempting to make the group laugh.
• Whoever holds out the longest without laughing is the winner.

Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin

• Tack a large cardboard pumpkin to a wall.
• In turn, blindfold each child and give them a black cutout shape of a nose with double-side tape on the back.
• Have them walk up to the wall and pin the nose on the pumpkin.

Halloween Costume Parade

• Why not hold a kids' Halloween costume parade?


• Kids can show off their Halloween costumes, by parading down the length of the party room one by one.


• You can give prizes for the scariest, prettiest, most stylish or most imaginative costume.

Best Dressed Pumpkin Competition

• You might be very crafty with real or plastic pumpkins for the kids to decorate; or you may prefer to cut out pumpkin shapes from orange card and provide the children with stickers, pens and glitter to make a best-dressed pumpkin. These kids Halloween games are real winners

Eyeball Hunt Game

• Fill a large pot with cooked spaghetti noodles, and then bury ping pong balls in the noodles.
• See who can find the most balls in a set amount of time.
• For an added twist you can color code the balls and have each color worth a different amount of points.
• After the set amount of times, count up the points earned by each player.

Having an annual Halloween Movie Night for your family is a great way to celebrate the season together and to create memories that will last for years to come.

Although it would seem that blood and gore should be the central theme of a Halloween movie, try some of these all-family favorite flicks instead.

"It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" – Not much needs to be said about this movie. It's a family classic and will be for years and years to come. Purchase the DVD and keep it in your family's special movie collection.

"Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie" – Rated G - Perfect for the younger set, Winnie The Pooh and his engaging set of comrades will get even the youngest goblin in the mood for the big night.

"E.T." – Rated PG - The whimsy and imagination of this timeless classic remind us that the impossible truly is possible when we believe. (Remember this can be emotional and a bit scary for the younger kiddos.)

"Monsters Inc." – Rated G - This movie provides a funny and non-threatening take on the relationship between "monsters" and humans.

"Casper" – Rated PG - In this Steven Spielberg live action movie, human actors and a special effects "Casper" shows everyone's favorite ghost in some funny and compromising moments.

"Bednobs & Broomsticks" – Rated G -This timeless Disney movie, has music and mayhem and lots to keep the little ones engaged.

"Scooby Doo's Creepiest Capers" – Not Rated - This is a funny collection of Scooby's spookiest cases. Along with his goofy group of cohorts, there are always a lot of giggles when Scooby Doo is on the screen.

"Wallace & Gromit, The Curse Of The Were Rabbit" – Rated G - The cool part about this movie is that these characters, even though they seen completely real, are made out of clay. Kids will love to see the inventions that Wallace comes up with and may even want to talk about what inventions that can create.

"Nightmare Before Christmas" – Rated PG – Although there is so much going on in this film that is great to bridge Halloween and Christmas, younger kids may find this one a tiny bit creepy. Stay close to them and the whole family can enjoy this one that has music and great-looking scenes.
