Awesome Activity for Your Halloween Celebration with Kids
Halloween is such a fun time to enjoy with kids!
Costumes, treats, games, and decorations. My boys and I love to chat about different ways to enjoy the holiday as a family.
Picking out costumes is always a grand event. My younger boys LOVE to play dress-up and are often found in some sort of costume. They piece together different pieces that we’ve collected over the years and come up with some awesome ideas.
Although we homeschool, the boys and I still make plans to mark the holiday. We’ll be having a pumpkin coloring contest and using these free printable Halloween coloring pages. And we’ll be celebrating another Halloween-themed poetry teatime for the big day.
Smiley (10) requested the addition of a Halloween bingo game to our celebration. He helped me design the free printable bingo game that you’ll find at the end of this post. We hope that you enjoy a Happy Halloween with your friends and family.
How to Play Halloween Bingo with Kids
Classic Bingo Rules Made Simple
Playing Halloween bingo is easy and quick to set up. Here are some simple steps to follow:
- Give each player a bingo card and a handful of markers (candy corn, mini-erasers, coins, or buttons).
- Choose a caller who will pull Halloween picture cards from a stack (or call out the words/images).
- Players cover the matching space on their card.
- The first player to get five in a row (across, down, or diagonal) shouts “Bingo!” and wins.
Keep rounds short so kids stay engaged. If you’ve got younger ones, play “4 corners” or a straight line instead of a full blackout to make it easier.
Terrific Tips & Tricks for Enjoying Your Halloween Bingo Game for Kids
Our family loves to play bingo. With this version of Halloween bingo, all ages can play! The cute Halloween themes are kid-friendly and even pre-readers can join the fun.
Here are my ideas and tips for getting the most out of this special time with your kids:
- Print all bingo cards and calling cards prior to use. (This suggestion might seem silly but I’ve had times when I have the best of intentions and then realize that when it’s time to play the game that I forgot! If at all possible, print as soon as you download.)
- Laminate. This step is optional but will help your bingo game last longer. And won’t get ruined if someone spills “pumpkin” juice. #askmehowiknow
- Cut apart bingo cards and calling cards. Sort into piles.
- When playing the bingo game, select a caller. Once a calling card is used, put into a separate pile. You can check this pile to verify winner.
- Use Halloween-themed bingo card markers. Candy corn, plastic spiders, mini-erasers. My boys have used playdough rolled up into small balls, too!
- Have Halloween-themed prizes. Candy, pencils, erasers, glow sticks-fun stuff your kids can enjoy for the holiday.
