Halloween Party Ideas & Games for Kids in Hong Kong

Halloween is around the corner, and this is an exciting time for kids, as they can try on various costumes and get free candy by trick-or-treating at their neighbors' homes. But as a parent, you may be trying to think of more interesting, out-of-the-box, creative, and, most importantly, fun game ideas for your kids, hoping to throw them the most “spooktacular” party to remember. If you are struggling to plan it, including deciding on the theme and game activities, we have compiled a list of suggestions that are not only suitable for kids aged 3 to 10 years old but also perfect for teens to join in.

A Masquerade Ball

Halloween is the time of the year for your kids to explore their wild imagination, and there’s no better way to start than with a masquerade ball to indulge in the extravaganza of this special occasion. Kids can create their own handmade masks and pick the gowns or outfits from their favorite era. Some can even dress up as monsters unexpectedly to attend the party, bringing the spookiness of Halloween to life.

Mummy Wrap

This is a classic Halloween party game that always gets laughs. Pair up the kids and give each team a roll of toilet paper. One child stands still while the other races to wrap them up like a mummy. The first team to finish or the funniest-looking mummy at the end wins. It’s silly, easy to set up, and a great way to burn off some of that Halloween sugar rush. Parents can even join in by acting as the judges, adding funny categories like “scariest mummy” or “messiest wrap” to make it even more entertaining.

Scavenger Hunt

Book a party room with ample space and turn it into a treasure zone with a Halloween scavenger hunt. Hide small treats, glow sticks, or themed toys, and hand out clue cards to guide the kids. You can even create riddles or use glowing stickers to make it feel magical. This game works exceptionally well for mixed ages since older kids can help the younger ones solve clues. You can add a prize for the winning team to make the game more engaging and give the kids extra motivation to solve all the clues.

Apple Bobbing

No Halloween party is complete without apple bobbing. Fill a large bucket with water, drop in some apples, and let the kids try to grab them using only their mouths. To make it safer and less messy for younger children, you can use small floating toys or even marshmallows instead. It’s a simple tradition that never goes out of style. Consider hosting the activity outdoors, as splashes may occur due to the exciting nature of the game!

Halloween Charade

Do your kids love the theatrics and dramatic acting? This twist on the classic game is perfect for kids who love acting. Write down Halloween-themed words or characters, such as “witch,” “pumpkin,” or “haunted house,” on slips of paper. Kids take turns acting them out while the others guess. It’s fun, fast-paced, and gets everyone laughing.

Monster Freeze Dance

Put on a playlist of spooky tunes and let the kids dance like monsters. When the music stops, everyone has to freeze in their scariest pose. Anyone who moves is out until the next round. It’s a high-energy game that’s easy to run and keeps the party vibe lively. Kids can pull funny faces and comical poses to elicit laughter from the others, doubling the fun for this energetic party game.

Pumpkin Painting or Decorating Contest

For kids who prefer calm and artistic activities, a pumpkin painting and decorating contest can allow them to sit still while freely expressing themselves and showcasing their competitive spirit. They can choose acrylic paint, chalk paint, or any kid-friendly paint to draw on the pumpkin and have the creative freedom to add stickers or glitter to customize their own pumpkin for the Halloween celebration.

Blacklight/UV Art Party

Looking for unique activities for your kids this Halloween? A blacklight or art party is your go-to choice. Hosted in a spacious private studio or room, both children and adults can work together to unleash their creativity in a glowing environment, along with other neon accessories like hats, masks, wigs, and bracelets. It combines the themes of a costume party, glow-in-the-dark element, and dance music, while providing a fun and artistic outlet for your kids. Simply let their imagination run wild and their unique artwork shine in the darkness for all to see.
