Halloween Word Scramble

A very simple game that can be played individually or in pairs and groups this Halloween party, word scramble is a good indoor game. One person announces a 'Halloween-related' word and the team has to write down as many words as they can make using only the letters of that word. The team that turns up with the highest number of correct words, wins. Some of the suggestions of the words announced can be 'Halloween', 'Trick or Treat', 'Dracula', 'Cauldron', 'Minotaur', 'Goblin' and other such words.

You can make the game more challenging by announcing that the groups have to choose only Halloween-related words or should be able to justify why they chose a certain word and how it is related to the holiday. The number of words they make up and number of letters in each word can also earn them extra points. For younger children, clues can be given for the words that they can form such as the first letter of the word and number of letters in the word and the first team or child to come up with the answer will be the winner.
