Halloween game The Mummy Wrap : This Halloween party games for kids is one of the favorite games for a school party for most kids!
First of all start dividing the kids into smaller groups, maybe 3 or 4 kids per team. Each team will have to choose one at the time to be the mummy and the others will have to wrap the mummy with toilet paper. The winner will be the team who finish the best mummy the fastest, be carefull they don't get to excited and hurt the mummy with the toilet paper. Well, to avoid problem while deciding who will get to be the mummy we suggest to divide the groups and have each member of the group draw an assignment out of a bucket for their "job". It will be one piece of paper with "mummy" written on it and the rest pieces will say "wrapper".
Remember to set some ground rules, like not to wrap the head or doing anything naughty with the toilet paper like throwing it around and making a mess.

Halloween Scrabble for kids:
Give to every kid a piece of paper with a long word related to Halloween at the top of the page. For example: scarecrow, or Frankenstein. Set a limit of time of about 3 to 5 minutes and count how many correct words, minimum of 3 letters long, they have constructed using only the letters from the word you gave them.


Halloween party Zombie Game:
Start with a group of kids deciding that one will be "IT", maybe to be fair make them get their positions by taking a piece of paper from a bucket where you would written "Zombie" in all of them, except for one who will be "IT". The "zombies" must sit or lay still with no expression as zombies. The kid who is "IT" will have to make the zombies smile, giggle or wiggle in any way without touching them.
