Ghost Hunters Halloween Game

Tweens and teenagers love the adventure of being a ghost hunter. You can make the game as scary and challenging as you want, according to the age of the children or your guests. For smaller children, stick to indoors ghost hunting. You may or may not include the backyard, depending on high safe it is for the children. However, older children can wander off outdoors with an adult guide to search for ghosts in the nearby fields, farms or other 'haunted mansions' for the day on the street. Ghosts can be lollipops, covered with a tissue paper for the drapery on which eyes and mouth are marked using a marker. A ribbon is tied just below the head to mark the neck of the ghost. You may also buy fake skeletons or make interesting Halloween crafts of ghosts and monsters of any desired shape and size.

Divide kids in teams and give them clues such as - 'I haunt the room of Mrs Wilson', 'I come out from under the bed of Christine at midnight' or 'I love to peek through the keyhole of the bathroom door'. Keep the ghosts or hang them with a string for the kids to find. One team member has to stay with the ghost they have found while others go off to locate other ghosts. You can assign different areas to each team - Kitchen to Team A, Bedroom for Team B and so on. This will ensure that each team member finds one ghost at least. The team that finds all the ghosts and reports at the earliest is the winner. The team member can take their ghosts along with them as party favors. The clues can be more difficult for older children and the places where the ghosts are hidden can be made to look scarier such as a cemetery or a haunted garage and sound and light effects can be added for the experience to feel more real.
