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!
