Our neighborhood night out is towards the end of October this year and we decided to make it a Halloween Block Party!  I’ve been searching around the web for the best Halloween games for kids and came up with a pretty good list to share with you today…

 

Whether your party is “fall themed” or full-on Halloween, any of these classic Halloween games would be spooktacularly fun and are great for all ages!

 

22+ Halloween Party Games for Kids (and adults!)

Who doesn’t love getting their faces painted?  Even better if you can find a professional to paint faces according to the costumes!
