Halloween is one of my family’s favorite holidays. In fact, this year we’re throwing a big Halloween costume bash and inviting a lot of my son Kai’s classmates over to celebrate before we go trick-or-treating. I’ve been on the hunt for some cute and do-able games to make and play for the big night. Here are some Halloween games that are adorable, easy to create, and will get the kids excited. Check them out in the slideshow.
