\n You\u2019ve all heard of pumpkin carving, but did you know you don\u2019t HAVE to stick to carving pumpkins? It may be a Halloween tradition, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make your own. Or maybe you don\u2019t have time to go out and get yourself a big round pumpkin\u2026 No worries, you can still get into the spooky spirit.<\/p>\n

Play Halloween Games<\/h3> \n \n
\n \n
\n It\u2019s game time! Halloween is the perfect time for families to enjoy some fun and spooky games together \u2013 and the best part is, many of them are completely free!<\/p>\n

One favourite is the classic “Mummy Wrap”, where kids compete to wrap each other in toilet paper, turning into mummies as quickly as possible. Another simple game is “Pumpkin Bowling” \u2013 line up some plastic cups decorated like ghosts and use a small pumpkin to knock them over. For a spooky twist on hide-and-seek, try “Ghost Hunt”, where the kids search the house or garden for paper ghosts hidden by parents.<\/p>\n

You could even dress up and go on a monster hunt through a spooky woodland with a Halloween-themed bingo (obviously with parent supervision!). With just a little imagination, you can create endless Halloween fun without spending a penny!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rounded up a list of 10 great Halloween-themed activities and games for you to try at home! <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Find out more<\/span>\n <\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n\n [vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”25px”]\n
