Halloween parties are only worth while when there are Halloween Party Games. Getting everyone involved is the best way for your friends who may not have met to get to know one another in a social setting. Here is a list of four fun Halloween games that will be a hit for your next Halloween Party. These suggestions can even be modified for any other holiday or season!

Name the Bone

Hang a fake skeleton in the party area and ask your party guests to try to name the different bones. Check their answers with a diagram of a labeled skeleton beforehand. You can make the game lots more challenging, as if it weren’t already, by asking the meaning or origin of each of each bone name.

Monster Mash Counting Game

Players count up from 1. But, you say “monster” on numbers divisible by 3, “mash” on numbers divisible by 5 and “monster mash” on numbers divisible by both 5 and 3. Still confused? A sample of how a game will sound is: “1, 2, monster, 4, mash, monster, 7, 8, monster, mash, 11, monster, 13, 14, monster mash, 16, 17… and so on.”

Trivia Game

Take notes while you’re with friends or alone watching horror movies. Take note of questions and answers about each movie. Write them down on index cards and use them later at your party for fun trivia.

Guess the Dead Celebrity

Using big labels, mark down different dead celebrity names and place them on the back of each of your guests. During the party, guests guess who they are by asking others yes or no questions.
