What competitions can you organize for Halloween? "Guess what it is"

June 7, 2016

In recent years, Halloween has been rapidly gaining popularity in our country. If a decade ago we saw it only in American films, today this bright event is celebrated in many bars and clubs. But you can organize a great holiday party yourself.

And to make the night on All Hallows' Eve interesting and memorable, you need to work on three main points:

• Decoration of the room or yard where the event is held;
• Thematic costumes of those gathered;
• Competitions and games.

The latter will be discussed in the article. By the way, many of these entertainments are also suitable for.

What competitions and games are best for Halloween?

When choosing competitions, the main thing to remember is that they must be stylized as a holiday. Even if you choose a well-known entertainment, you can still make it special thanks to a little modernization.

The second thing that should definitely be taken into account is how many people will be present at the event, and how many people you plan to involve in competitions. Of course, the more guests take part in them, the more fun it will be. But individual entertainment can also create a real sensation.

The third thing you should pay attention to is how many alcohol competitions there will be, and whether there will be any at all. It all depends on the looseness of the company and the attitude of those invited to alcohol.

website offers the most interesting themed games and competitions for your Halloween party.

1. "Now you're Bloody Mary"

To run this competition, you only need a few things: loud, ominous music, an ample supply of Bloody Marys, and the participants themselves. The rules are very simple. To begin, everyone stands in a circle, although if you are sitting with guests at the table, you can do this while sitting. The Bloody Mary cocktail is poured into the glass to the very brim. To the music, it must be passed in a circle to each other until the music stops or someone spills the drink. When this happens, the one who spilled the liquid or the one on whom the music ended becomes Bloody Mary, as announced by the other participants by shouting "You are now Bloody Mary." After these words, the newly proclaimed Bloody Mary drinks the contents of the glass to the bottom and leaves the circle. The glass is refilled and the game continues. This happens until one winner is determined, who is awarded any symbolic prize.

2. "Take out your eye"

This relay competition is best conducted as a team. To carry it out, you will need a spoon and table tennis balls according to the number of participants, which should be painted in advance to resemble the human eye. The essence of the game is quite simple: while listening to music, holding a tablespoon with an “eye” in it, move the “eyes” to the other end of the room without dropping them. At the end of the room, each team should place containers cut out of pumpkins, where they should place their burden. The winner will be the team that can complete the task first.

3. "Lord of the Eyes"

For this competition, almost all the equipment from the previous entertainment will be useful. Only here it is best to compete not in teams, but in pairs. Pairs will have to be placed at a distance of 2 m from each other. One of the participants will hold a pumpkin container in his hands, and the second on command will have to throw as many “eyes” as possible into this improvised basket within one minute. If the balls fall, you cannot pick them up. You can hold this competition in several rounds, with each of them increasing the distance between the participants. You can also make the task even more difficult by blindfolding the thrower. At the end of the competition, the team that was able to collect the most tennis balls in its pumpkin is announced as the winner and “Eye Masters”.

4. "Pumpkin Explosion"

This competition is held in two stages. To organize it you will need balloons, threads and black markers. During the first stage, all participants must fill balloons with air, secure them, and carve the faces of traditional Halloween jack-o-lanterns onto them as quickly as possible. The important thing is that a burst balloon automatically ends participation in the competition, preventing you from advancing to the second round. Those lucky ones who flawlessly completed the task of the first round must tie their balloon pumpkins with threads to their right knee. When all preparations are completed, the second round begins. During it, participants must burst their competitors’ balloons without the help of hands or foreign objects, but at the same time do not forget about the integrity of their pumpkin. The competition continues until there is only one participant left with an untouched ball. He is then determined as the winner of the pumpkin battle.

5. "Confession"

“Recognition” is less of a competition and more of an entertainment, since there will be no winners. The goal of the game is to amuse the guests and cheer them up. It goes with a bang, because everyone loves to fool around, regardless of age. First you need to prepare two decks of cards: in the first you need to write down the beginning of the phrase, and in the second - its continuation. Needless to say, the phrases should be funny or even vulgar (at your discretion). After the cards are shuffled and placed face down, each guest alternately draws cards from two decks and reads them out. The randomly generated phrases are quite funny, and sometimes downright funny.

Cards with the beginning of a sentence:

1. At night he sneaks into my bedroom...
2. Every Friday the thirteenth I become (no, not cancer)…
3. Do you want to see my mole on my butt in the shape...
4. If only I could get pregnant from...
5. In my opinion, the title of “Sexiest in the World” deserves...
6. A frequent guest in my bed is...

7.I believe that there is nothing better than a kiss with...

1. I'm wearing pantaloons from...
2. I can cook cutlets from...
3. My first sex was with...

Cards with the ending of the phrase:

1. Zombie.
2. Ksenia Sobchak without makeup.
3. Ancient as mammoth guano, a vampire.
4. Blair Witch is a nymphomaniac.
5. The evil ghost of Baskov.
6. Sinister is a pussy.
7. Death by lawnmower.
8. Bloody Mary Poppins.
9. Rotting, fucking dead.
10. Chupacabra.

6. “And in my panties...”

This is another option for comic entertainment with cards. Only here you will need one deck with phrases, words or phrases. As in the previous game, here you need to draw cards one by one. Only the beginning of the sentence will be the same for everyone - “And in my panties...”. After such an intriguing start, each of those present will voice what will be written on their card. Thus, the atmosphere in the company will become even more fun and exciting. And examples of such phrases can be words from various horror films or simply phrases associated with evil spirits, the otherworldly and Halloween itself.

Example answers:

• fallen angel;
• Silence of the Lambs;
• bloody chainsaw;
• attack of Soviet zombies;
• the key to the underworld;
• A Nightmare on Elm Street;
• resident Evil;
• hell Gate;
• Little Death's Cap;
• club of the dead;
• guardian of darkness;
• Paranormal Activity.

7. "Terrible bag"

To conduct this competition, it is necessary to prepare in advance a special bag (preferably decorated in the style of the holiday) and various objects that cause ambiguous tactile sensations. To do this, you can use dried apricots, prunes, a jar of two grapes, pumice, a dishcloth, gummy worms, kiwi fruit, curly pasta, marmalade, a piece of wet moss and much more. The more things the better. All of them are placed in a prepared bag. The main thing is that the participants themselves do not see the content before the start of the competition. Next, the players are blindfolded and asked to take an object out of the bag and name what it is. Of course, the presenter accompanies all this with remarks that the most unpredictable and disgusting things may turn out there. The winner is the one who can guess the most. To allow more people to participate, it is better to introduce a limit on how many items each person can draw. It is optimal that each participant gets 3 items.

8. "Burim"

This competition is familiar to everyone. It is held on almost all holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Only the rhyming words here need to be selected in the spirit of the party. This competition can be held simultaneously with the whole company, giving everyone a piece of paper with four words, where they rhyme in pairs. Words may be the same for everyone, or they may be different. On command, everyone is given the task of composing a terrible poem in which the last lines will coincide with the given ones. The winner here can be determined in two ways: by the speed of execution and by whose poem turns out to be the most interesting.

Example. The following rhymes are given: blood-eyebrow, guts-bags.

Psychopaths love blood

She hits them hard on the eyebrow:

They'll let someone's guts out,

And let's put it in bags.

Examples of rhymes for the task:

• blood-carrot, class-eye;
• blood-fry, eyelid-man;
• ghoul fist, vice brains;
• maniac-cognac, glass-cockroach and so on.

9. "The Witch's Pantry"

“The Witch’s Pantry” is a kind of quest competition. To carry it out you will need a fairly spacious room with a significant number of places where something can be hidden. And, of course, you will need something that needs to be hidden. And these should be artificial spiders, worms, bats, chicken feet, bunny tails, frogs, toads and other Halloween attributes. All these items should be well hidden throughout the room.

The competition participants are all brought into this room together and told that they have found themselves in the witch’s pantry, and will now compete in preparing a witch’s potion. But in order to cook it, you need a lot of ingredients, which the witch hid well. Participants must, within the allotted time, which is determined individually for each company, find as many raw materials as possible for the magic brew. The winner is the one who demonstrates his best tracker skills. And the prize in the competition will be a bottle of good alcohol, without which not a single potion can do.

10. “Denunciation to Count Dracula”

This competition is a modified version of the well-known entertainment “Broken Phone”. Only it is carried out either in complete darkness or in dim lighting. All participants sit in one row. The last of them tells his neighbor some nasty things about Count Dracula. And this information is passed on to each other in turn, right up to the first participant, who loudly and clearly announces the received denunciation to everyone. And when it turns out that it does not correspond to the original information, it becomes clear how, by whom and when it was changed. The one who misinterprets what he heard is eliminated. And so this procedure continues until there are three winners left.

Your Halloween party playlist should be shaped according to your own heartbeat. Everything that gives rise to a chill in the soul, provokes nervous tremors, makes the pupils of the eyes dilate in horror - has the right to life and sound this evening!

The only thing that really needs to be taken into account is the degree of saturation of the musical compositions. They should not sound like one monotonous, creepy canvas, but should shimmer, bewitch with magic, evoke solemn delight and trembling of the very edges of the nerve endings. Music on Halloween night should be the very first factor that provokes the production of adrenaline!

MUSIC FOR HALLOWEEN

Here are a few compositions that shocked me personally (listen, maybe we have a lot in common, even fear is the same for the whole huge sea of ​​​​Dikmi admirers):

- "Monster Mash"- Bobby "Boris" Pickett (this song will be a real gift for those guests who grew up in the era of early rock and roll and are still nostalgic for it).

- "Thriller"- Michael Jackson (the title track from the best-selling album of all time!). The composition is full of blood-chilling laughter and unexpected textured turns that say about themselves: “it won’t be boring!”

- "It's Halloween"- Danny Elfman.

- "Ghostbusters"- Ray Parker Jr. (remember this favorite cartoon from childhood?).

- "The Addams Family"- Vic Mizzi (also a very popular soundtrack to the cartoon and large-scale film adaptation, loved and recognized by both adults and children).

- "Halloween"- John Carpenter.

- "Ghosts of Halloween"- Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.

- "Frankenstein"- group "Edgar Winter".

- "Superstition" Stevie Wonder.

- "Abracadabra"- Steve Miller Band.

- "Toccata and Fugue in D minor"- Bach (yes, yes, classics also have the right to be a guest at your festival of fear).

- "Hedwig's Theme" soundtracks for the Harry Potter films.

- DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince- “A Nightmare on My Street” (this song was so successful at one time that the producers of the film “A Nightmare on Elm Street” sued for copyright infringement). DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith, the Fresh Prince are sure to add some good cheer to any Halloween gathering.

- "Time Warp" soundtrack to The Rocky Horror Picture Show (this song gives dance instructions for all the ghosts, magicians and goblins - making it not only scary, but also fun to dance to).

- "Time of the Witch"- Donovan (this composition is most often used in cinema in order to give a certain touch of mysticism to all scenes of witchcraft and horror).

- "Pet cemetery" Ramones (the song was used in multiple film adaptations of Stephen King books).

- "Someone is watching me"- Rockwell (a song from the top three of the US gold music charts).

Compositions from the musical “The Phantom of the Opera” would also be appropriate at a party as a background (especially for the entertainment of the competition program). Don’t ignore the classics, gentlemen, because remember that the most brilliant villains, bloodsuckers and maniacs, whose names are now in everyone’s memory and on their tongues, lived long before our era and probably did not listen to punk and rock!

Well, now it’s time to lift the bloody veil over the entertainment that we have come up with especially for the guests of your home Halloween!

GAMES AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR HALLOWEEN

If you took into account all our recommendations when preparing the decor for the holiday, then you will not need to specially warm up your guests before the show program! Believe me, by the time they reach the hall festively decorated with cobwebs, they will be barely warm with fear and horror! A joke, of course, but every joke has only a grain of joke in it! Remember this, especially on All Hallows' Eve!

Well, now - a little about games and competitions for your friends who echo the evil spirits so beautifully!

Game 1: Your Own Scarecrow	Details: old clothes, pillowcases, batting, markers, newspapers, tapes, mops. Number of participants: teams of at least 3 people. The essence of the game: Participants are divided into teams. Each team receives the same set of old clothes and other props. By order of the presenter: “Let’s start!”, all teams begin to make garden scarecrows from improvised means. The team that finishes first and makes the most beautiful (scary, funny - variations are allowed) scarecrow wins. The maximum time for the competition is 20 minutes. After the fun “glamorous” competition that opens the holiday, give your guests the opportunity to drink a little and dance to the fiery “monstrous” rhythms! A fun game will help you start dancing!
Game 2. Frozen Monster Dances	Music for the competition:"Monster Mash" Participants: absolutely all the guests of the holiday. Rules: All guests stand in a circle or columns (so as not to disturb anyone). Ahead is the leader. His task is to show all kinds of dance moves and steps, simple and very stupid at the same time. The task of the participants in the columns is to repeat the movements, adding to them some kind of zest characteristic of the character whose costume they have chosen for the evening. When the host stops and the music fades away, everyone should freeze in the last dance position that coincided with the end of the music. The one who laughs or cannot maintain the “frozen” pose leaves the game. With the rest - the dancing continues! Believe me, after stupid pirouettes at the “instruction” of the host and friendly laughter, it will be very difficult to maintain a neutral “frozen mask”!
Game 3. Mad Scientist's Laboratory	Preparing for the game (must be done in advance): Place grapes, dried apricots, banana peels, raw liver, and cold spaghetti into 5 bowls. Then place each bowl in a cardboard box with a picture. At 1 (where the grapes are) - draw the eyes, at 2 (where the dried apricots) - draw the ears, at 3 (where the peel) - outline the tongue, at 4 (where the raw liver) - show the heart, at 5 (where the spaghetti) - draw an open skull with brains. Cut holes in the boxes so that you can freely put your hand in there. Number of participants: everyone is willing (and, of course, fearless!). Minimum - 5 players. Rules: The participant must stick his hand into the hole of the box that the presenter will choose for him, and by touch (if he is not afraid - even by taste or smell) determine what the mad scientist decided to please him with today. This game always evokes a lot of emotions and adrenaline! Moreover, not only among the participants, but also among the fans. Therefore, after the brain explosion from the “mad scientist,” I advise you to offer guests a calm, creative master class on cutting out “Jack-O-Lanterns.”
	Halloween is not complete without these strange, scary and sometimes very funny lantern faces! Give your guests a master class in carving them on All Hallows' Eve! All the details of the process can be found in the article “Pumpkin for Halloween”. And before the holiday, it is important to stock up on carving tools and pumpkins (in sufficient quantity for each guest and with a reserve in case of marriage, which will probably happen among friends who are getting acquainted with “pumpkin art” for the first time). And one more, very important recommendation: do not drag out the pumpkin competition, otherwise you will lose the momentum of the evening. It is enough to make simple lamps. You can master the meticulous skill of “pumpkin cutting” on your own, in the quiet, comfortable atmosphere of your own home. And, of course, outside of the noisy and energetic Halloween party!

Game 5. Halloween Mummy	Props: Rolls of durable toilet paper, bandages. Number of participants: minimum 2 teams of 3 people. Rules: One of the three-team is a model (mummy). The task of the teams is to wrap as many bandages and toilet paper around the model within 2 minutes (at the start of the timer). The team whose mummy is dressed “more luxuriously” wins and receives symbolic prizes (jelly candies “worms” or “jaws” are perfect)!
Game 6. Capture the Spirit	Another active and fun game that will help maintain the dynamics of the holiday at the appropriate level. Props: stuffed ghost. Number of participants: two teams of at least 5 people. Rules: The two teams are separated by a line. On the territory of some there is a “Spirit” (or ghost), others perform the function of “ghost hunters”. The task of the former is to protect the Spirit from being captured and to scare the invaders so that they do not even risk stepping over the conventional line. The task of the latter is to take possession of the Spirit by any force and cunning and drag it into their territory. The only nuance that must be taken into account is the amount of alcohol consumed. If you see that your monster guests are already pretty drunk, it’s better to skip this game so that it doesn’t simply develop into a fight or a real fight with unpleasant consequences.
Game 7. Assemble the skeleton	It would seem that there is absolutely nothing complicated in the structure of the human skeleton. And in general, everyone knows, even from school, how the bones should be arranged... But if you hand each team a bag of scattered bones and give, for example, 5-7 minutes of time to figure it all out, it will at least not be up to school knowledge ! Although, in such conditions, a huge space opens up for intelligence, resourcefulness and a sense of humor! Props: a bag with a plastic disassembled human skeleton constructor. Participants: minimum 2 teams of 5 people. Rules: Assemble the skeleton by arranging all the bones correctly. Time to complete the task is 5-7 minutes. The winner is the one who assembles the skeleton as correctly as possible. Audience Award - the most fun and original version of the structure of the human body. If the skeleton cannot be found, it can be replaced with plastic parts (cut at random from disposable plates). And, of course, it is necessary to complicate the task by offering to assemble the skeleton without using your hands.
Game 8. Halloween relay race	Props: bowls of jelly. Participants: everyone is interested. Rules: All relay participants are divided into two teams. The task of each team is to overcome all the obstacles announced by the presenter, earning 1 point for each competition. The team that earns the most points in the final count wins. Obstacles: All relay participants are divided into two teams. The task of each team is to overcome all the obstacles announced by the presenter, earning 1 point for each competition. The team that earns the most points in the final count wins. 1. Walk from start to finish, staggering like a zombie. 2. Frog-jump the distance between the start and finish lines. 3. “Fly” as quickly as possible on a broom. 4. Carry plates of festive jelly on your head from the finish to the start, without dropping the “food”, of course!

Game 9. Shot in the Dark (or Panic Room)

“This is a big, bad game for adults only!” - with these words you can start the next competition. This will intrigue future participants and force you to listen more carefully. And, of course, being scared, listening to every beat of your own heart! Props: A large screen with a projector, a Scary Movie movie, or any other movie with a lot of creepy special effects. Participants: everyone is interested. Rules: You need to turn on a horror movie in the background (you can select a short episode full of characteristic special effects in advance). Before viewing, explain the rules to all participants. For example, if a shot is fired, everyone must repeat the cannonade; if someone screams, they must pour and drink; if they say the word “fear” or “Halloween,” everyone depicts wild joy. Anyone who does not react correctly to the action in the film receives a penalty task (as in a game of forfeits).

Game 10. Halloween Roulette

Props: 3 tubs, 3 pumpkin chips. How can you do Halloween without the usual cheating game! Everything remains according to the rules! And, of course, guessing which tub the pumpkin is hidden under is practically impossible if the Master of the Underworld is “leading”! As a rule, I recommend playing games like Roulette to complete the entertainment program of the party. There are two advantages to this: firstly, they are exciting and exciting (and this gives the hosts of the holiday the opportunity to go away for a while to check if everything is ready for the ceremonial feast), and secondly, an exciting game will not drag out the guests too much (after all, there is an impressive argument leave it - go to the table).

TREATS AND DRINKS AT THE HALLOWEEN PARTY

Appetizers, main courses and desserts

However, the festive table on Halloween night is also a fascinating and beyond extraordinary spectacle! All meals and snacks are also a kind of test of endurance and lack of fear! After all, not everyone will dare to try salad with a very promising name "Cemetery" , or pizza , called "Ghostly" .

Although, nevertheless, if your guests manage to overcome their first emotional protest against such, well, very disgusting treats, and swallow the first bite, they will be surprised by such an earthly taste that has been known since childhood! Moreover, they will like your amazing pepper ,stuffed with real Italian pasta but, traditionally, with a gloomy name "Jack-O-Lantern" , unusual variation tartlets with salad , where instead of ordinary baskets, carefully removed tangerine peels are used (naturally, decorated to resemble a big-eyed pumpkin!), “big-eyed” enchanted egg and tomato snack , and unique !

If, in addition to appetizers, you want to surprise your guests with something more substantial, you can prepare a stunning (it should come out with such a characteristic swamp look in the end, you'll lick your fingers!). And to emphasize the entire witchcraft essence of the brew, it must be served in a classic witch’s magic cauldron!

Hurry up to surprise with desserts too! After all, there is no less room for imagination here than in the area of ​​main dishes! For example, your guests will probably like a cute cupcake "Enemy Brain" , or (no less original) Pumpkin Explosion Muffin .

And the most delicate vanilla pudding with orange glaze and crushed hazelnuts, it would be a real blasphemy to call it something malevolently mystical! Therefore, we decided to present this miracle of cooking to you as "Halloween Parfait" .

And, of course, hurry to please your witch friends (and, part-time, sweet tooth) with abundance themed cakes !

As a rule, the Halloween holiday abroad involves the consumption of huge amounts of alcohol. Russia, as convincing statistics show, is also not lagging behind!

The most relevant drinks for such a party are the following:

Explosive (corn vodka - Martini & Rossi vermouth - vanilla in the ratio 3/1)

- (very deceptive, sweetish and pleasantly light from the first sip and heady with the last drop of the glass).

Compound:

. 2 ounces champagne

. 1 ounce vodka

. 2 ounces white grape juice

. purple sugar

. Optional: dry ice

How to cook:

1. Pour a small amount of grape juice onto a plate and sprinkle some purple sugar on another. Dip the rim of a glass goblet into the juice and then into the sugar.

2. Pour vodka, grape juice and ice into a shaker and shake well until chilled.

3. Pour the contents of the shaker into a glass and add champagne.

4. For a ghostly effect, you can add a small piece of dry ice.

Another amazingly unusual alcoholic cocktail that I would like to see you have on Halloween is called . According to seasoned sages and magicians, only this drink determines whether you are ready for the ultimate battle of magic! This spicy cocktail is truly not for the faint of heart! And you can already be considered a brave man if you only dare to taste it!

Compound:

. 1 ounce vodka

. 7 ounces Bloody Mary

. 1 tbsp. l. freshly squeezed lime juice

. 1 tsp. hot pepper

. Pinch of black pepper

How to cook:

1. Fill a glass with ice and add all the ingredients.

2. Set it on fire! When the flame on the surface of the glass goes out, drink!

Well, for those who, even on Halloween night, do not change their natural healthy lifestyle, I have a very beautiful vanilla milkshake, consisting of chocolate, pumpkin puree, spices, cream, milk and vanilla ice cream!

Enjoy and be healthy! And don’t take to heart (and especially to your precious and only soul) all the imaginary malice, mortality, and other delights of Halloween! Even under the mask of a bloodthirsty monster, try to remain yourself and treat everything with the proper amount of humor and courage! Let Halloween be for you more of a holiday of laughter, joy and fun than true fear, tears and disappointments! I hope my tips will help you with this!

Halloween contests are a huge hit with absolutely everyone. Children of primary school age and teenagers up to the 6th grade enjoy pretending to be vampires, werewolves and other evil spirits at school, quickly coming up with magic spells and catching witches. High school students and students organize themed parties at home or go to a nightclub to take part in competitions for the best costume, the most frightening makeup or the wittiest dark humor joke. If you haven't yet decided which competitions to include in your Halloween program, be sure to pay attention to our unusual ideas. With them, the holiday will be extraordinary and will leave the most vivid impressions and only pleasant memories in the souls of the participants.

Halloween competitions at school for high school students

For high school students, for the Halloween school holiday, they select cool competitions with a touch of “horror.” Specific paraphernalia and thematic accessories (pumpkin, witch hat, broom, magic wand, etc.) give the competition an original atmosphere. The guys play the roles of magical negative heroes with passion and great pleasure and take the opportunity to try themselves in all sorts of unusual and strange activities.

• "Letter from a Maniac". The class is divided into two teams. Each is given several newspapers, paper, glue and stationery scissors. The task boils down to composing a completely creepy threatening letter in the allotted time, cutting out words from newspapers and pasting them on paper. Victory is given to the team that makes the longest, most accurate and scary message.
• "Donkey's Tail". On a thick sheet of Whatman paper, use felt-tip pens to draw the outline of a donkey, and on the back, a circle with a diameter of 10 centimeters marks the location of the tail. Attach the drawing to the board and invite everyone to attach a tail to the donkey. The trick is that you need to do this with your eyes closed. The winner who places the tail most accurately is awarded a sweet prize and... a donkey's tail.
• "Makeup for Monsters". The class is divided into teams of 3-5 people and given pre-prepared boxes with props (jars of white, red and black gouache) and a list of monsters. In a short (up to 10 minutes) time, the teams paint their participants in accordance with the list received, and the audience then determines the brightest, most successful and effective makeup option for the monsters.

Halloween competitions for teenagers at school

For teenagers at school on Halloween, they hold interesting and active game competitions in which children can demonstrate dexterity, dexterity, creative thinking and creativity. The theme of Halloween entertainment should be a little sinister, but generally playful and conducive to laughter, active fun and a good time.

• “What is your purpose?” Participants are called onto the stage (from 5 to 10 people, depending on the number of people willing). The presenter attaches a card to each player’s back with the name of his character (“werewolf”, “witch”, “sorcerer”, “vampire”, etc.). Everyone’s task is to find out what is written on their own back within a strictly allotted time (4-7 minutes). To do this, you have to ask questions to your colleagues in the competition and answer others yourself, but only in the “yes” and “no” format. After the time is up, everyone must announce what is written on their back. The guys who are closest to the answer win.
• "Apocalypse". A large circle is drawn with chalk in the center of the stage, and two chairs are placed inside at a distance from each other. The presenter divides the players into two teams: some guys play for the “zombies”, and the second for the “mummies”. Then everyone is blindfolded and told to mix with each other. Zombies make the sound "U-u-u-u", mummies - "E-uh-uh". Each team must gather in a group near their chair as quickly as possible, without leaving the circle. The one who crosses the line is out of the game. The winner is the team with the most participants remaining at the end of the round.
• "Who will catch the witch". Among all those who wish, they choose a “Hunter”, blindfold him with a scarf and spin him around. The “Witches” are given bells and invited to mingle with the rest of the participants. This whole cheerful company moves randomly across the stage. The task of the “Hunter” is to catch all the “Witches” in 2 minutes, guided by the sound of the bell. A worthy prize awaits the most successful evil spirit catcher.

Halloween competitions for students and youth

More frivolous and frivolous competitions with elements of black humor are organized for students and young people on Halloween. Ambiguous jokes, piquant subtle hints and terribly funny pranks are welcome. The main thing is that everyone feels comfortable on Halloween and has a blast.

• "Pharaoh's Mummy". Two pairs of participants are selected for the competition. One gets the image of a pharaoh, and the other gets the role of an ordinary Egyptian. At the presenter's signal, the Egyptian must wrap the pharaoh in toilet paper, thus turning him into a mummy. Victory is awarded to the one who completes the task better and faster.
• "New victim" Pairs of participants are invited to the stage and given a sheet of white Whatman paper, a felt-tip pen and scissors. First, players draw a silhouette of the victim on paper, and then, at the “Start” command, try to cut it out with scissors. The piquancy of the situation is that they will have to cut out the figure together, that is, one participant will take the right handle of the scissors, and the second will take the left. The winner is the couple that produces the most accurate figure, truly resembling a human one.
• "Kiss of the Witch". All young people present, ready to take part in the fun and piquant entertainment, are called to the center of the hall. Witch girls (5-6 people) are given lipsticks of different colors and asked to put on lipstick. Then the presenter announces the task - each witch must kiss the maximum number of guys present on the cheek. When the music starts, the girls get down to business. The difficulty is that only two witches can “smack” one man. After the allotted time has elapsed, the competition is stopped and the presenter determines the winner based on the number of lipstick prints of a certain shade on the cheeks of male representatives.

Halloween contests for a club party

For a Halloween party at a club, competitions are selected very carefully, because, as a rule, people who come to watch the festive program are completely different in age, social status and inclinations. To make it interesting, easy and cozy for everyone present, we try to make themed competitions fun, original and creative. Usually, preference is given to tasks that do not require participants to make too much tactile contact with each other, because not all guests like being touched by strangers, even if this is required by the rules of the competition. But simple competitions for the most terrible spell, performances of a creepy song or dance with a broom are almost always received with “Hurray!” and bring a lot of pleasure to those present.

Halloween competitions at home for children and adults

Halloween competitions held at home are chosen so that they are interesting and understandable to both high school students, students and adults, as well as preschool children and teenagers. If the family has children aged 2-4 years, you should not get carried away with too scary costumes. There is a great risk that the child will not recognize dad as Dracula, or mom as the mystical witch, and will simply be scared. To prevent such a situation from arising, it is worth preparing more “peace-loving” outfits for the holiday party and explaining to your child in an accessible way that everything that happens on Halloween is just a game.

• "Bows". A subdued lighting is done in the room, and yellow bows are placed in not too noticeable places. At the signal, the children go to look for trophies. The task is given from 4 to 8 minutes to complete. The winner who finds the largest number of bows is awarded a prize. This competition is considered one of the most popular and is often held not only at home, but also at school at a matinee or in a nightclub at a party.
• "What's in the vessel". First, objects that are unpleasant to the touch (wrinkled carrots, a moistened sponge, a mushroom cap, dried plums, etc.) are placed in a wide-necked jug. Participants (adults and children from grade 6 and older) sit in a circle in a dimly lit room. The presenter brings in a jug and invites participants to put their hand into it. The first player feels inside one of the objects, but is not allowed to take it out. After this, the participant comes up with a scary story on the go, connected with a mysterious object, and at the end he takes out his hand, and everyone looks at how correct the guess was and how far the storyteller’s imagination has flown.
• "Will-o'-the-wisp". In a dark room, the participants sit in a circle, the presenter turns on soft, scary music and hands one of the players a burning flashlight. While the music is playing, the flashlight is passed around. When deathly silence suddenly reigns, the person who at that moment happens to have a burning flashlight in his hands drops out of the game. The last participant remaining in the circle gets the victory and a sweet prize.

Instructions

Black box
The essence of the game is simple - you need to guess what's inside the box. Place something in an opaque container, the players must stick their hand into it and guess what is inside by touch. The trick is that you need to put something unusual in the box, for example, pumpkin entrails, jelly or boiled spaghetti.

Treasure Hunt
All guests can take part in this game; they can also be divided into teams that will compete to see who will be the first to find the cache. Write the keys on pieces of paper (in the form of maps, diagrams, riddles) and place them in different places; the more complex, the more interesting it is to look for the treasure. But don't overdo it - guests will quickly lose interest if the riddles are too difficult. Place the treasures in a skull (you can buy it at a fancy gift shop) or in a traditional pumpkin.

Fun mummies
Divide the guests into teams. Give each person several rolls of toilet paper. Choose your future mummy. The teams will have to figure out the best strategy to create the mummy. The winner is the one who ends up with a mummy wrapped from head to toe in toilet paper.

Hot pumpkin (hot pumpkin)
The players stand in a circle. An eerie melody plays as players pass the pumpkin to each other. When a terrible sound is heard, the one holding the pumpkin must perform a task: tell a scary story, joke or make a creepy scream. Then the music plays again and the game continues.

• Scenario for Halloween 2016

Nothing excites the imagination like Halloween scary characters. For the younger generation of most countries, the Celtic holiday has become an excellent occasion to have fun and give free rein to their imagination and creativity. Every year, theme parties are replenished with new bright images.

Bellatrix

A series of films about the adventures of the young wizard Harry Potter gave rise to many vivid images that today can be successfully recreated for Halloween. The personification of cunning and deceit in a female form can be called Bellatrix, a prisoner of Azkaban and a devoted servant of the Dark Lord. This image has become an original alternative to the usual witch heroine. To create a magical silhouette, you will need a black hoodie, a casual hairstyle, classic evening makeup and a magic wand. This kit can be considered the most budgetary in terms of creative and material costs. But this does not detract one iota from its thematic uniqueness.

Angry Princess

Remember the movie "13 Ghosts"? Among the company of monsters presented in the film was a "charming" heroine - the Angry Princess. On screen she appears practically naked and with numerous cuts on her body and face. Of course, such a thematic minimum will make an impression at any party, but let’s do without fanaticism! All you have to do is choose a delicate outfit in pastel shades, lightly “dirty” the hair strands with foam or gel, apply make-up in the form of cuts, and your chic Halloween look is ready. The contrast of gentle charm and bloody wounds will create a stunning sensation at a themed holiday.

Desperate Bride

A girl devoid of fear of superstition can try herself in the role of a desperate bride. To do this, you need to dilute the romantic wedding image with bloody blood stains, ominous makeup and other attributes of horror films. At first glance, such a silhouette requires considerable financial and creative costs. But instead of a chic white dress, you can use a flirty cocktail dress, and instead of a traditional veil, a headband decorated with white flowers. Add to all this torn tights and a couple of dark accessories, and you can become the queen of a carnival of horror stories.

Peppercorn star

The festive costumed crowd is “refreshed” by images of stars from a bygone era, creatively stylized to match the Halloween theme. The emphasis here falls not so much on the costume and attributes, but on the original Halloween makeup. Increasingly, Marilyn Monroe and Emma Winehouse appear at costume balls, apparently “resurrected” in order to have fun with other characters of the ominous celebration.

Siren

The heroine of ancient myths may well grace a colorful festive crowd. According to legends, sirens were sea creatures (women half-fish or half-birds) who lured sailors to their island with their wondrous singing, causing their ships to crash on the rocks. This is where true female cunning lies! A Halloween look will require maximum imagination and creativity. Since there is no clear description of the mythological character. You can wear a tight suit, stylized as fish scales, or a fluffy light dress decorated with feathers. Halloween makeup in this theme can also include Marine elements. You can decorate your hair with a wreath and let it down, giving a slightly careless look.

P.S. Such thoughtful and detailed images are good not so much for fun, but for non-standard photo shoots. This may be why, recently, ready-made themed makeups, which can be purchased in specialized stores, have become particularly popular. They are affordable and do not require cunning manipulations by professional makeup artists. And as a costume, something dark from the wardrobe is selected. A budget themed holiday and a good mood remain a guarantee of quality relaxation and fun.

The tradition of celebrating Halloween came to us from the ancient Celts. They believed that every year, on October 31, the souls of the dead leave the afterlife for one night. The Celts figured out how to deceive the evil spirits. You need to become just as scary, sing and dance loudly. Now the holiday is popular all over the world. A Halloween party is a great way to get involved in interesting traditions and have fun.

Instructions

Decorate the room. Since evil spirits live in the dark, use simple methods to give the room a mysterious and slightly scary look. Hang luminous garlands, arrange scarecrows made from old things, create twilight, light candles. The result will be an atmosphere suitable for the holiday.

Apply scary makeup. Zombie images, various scars, bruises, and bloody stains are popular on Halloween. If you don’t have special paints on hand, regular watercolors applied over foundation are perfect.

Room decoration: The room can be decorated in dark colors. Be sure to decorate with bats; pumpkin lanterns can be made a little later and used as decoration.

You can place body parts on pieces of furniture and the floor: a severed hand, eye, finger, etc.

You can also use small spiders and snakes in the design, leaving “traces” of the presence of magicians and sorcerers: a black cat, a toad, a raven.

To create a mysterious and mystical atmosphere, it is better to light the room with candles.

Invitations:

It is also advisable to agree with friends in advance that everyone comes in suits. You can arrange a witch’s Sabbath, or a meeting “In the middle of nowhere,” or just a ball of evil spirits.

To intrigue your friends, you can prepare an original congratulation for everyone, in which you warn them to travel carefully, because there are so many extra ears around - they can overhear and interfere.

Scary joke:

During the event, you can try to scare your friends.

Sitting down in the middle of the room and placing a jack-o'-lantern in the center, tell each other scary stories one by one. Then suddenly put out the candle in the lantern and scream in a scary voice.

Of course, if there are no particularly impressionable participants.

Food and drinks for the holiday:

• For food and drinks you need to come up with original names: traditional blood - tomato juice or any other red drink, swamp slurry - if the drink is green.
• Dishes can be called like this: “The Eye of One-Eyed Jack”, “Kruger’s Fingers”, “Horns and Hooves”.
• Each dish served can be accompanied by a mysterious story: where did you get the main ingredient and how did you get it? For example, talk about the terrible battle with Kruger, in which he managed to cut off his hand.

Predictions in styleHalloween:

Afterwards you can hold “terrible” relay races, various games and competitions, a comic quiz, and sweepstakes.

At the end of the event there are traditional predictions: either positive, stating that everything will be fine, or humorous, that it will be much more interesting and fun.

Predictions can be placed, for example, inside baked goods decorated in the form of spiders. Thus, spiders will appear on the table - predictors, a lot of effort was spent on “catching” them.

Games and competitions for friends' Halloween party

1. “The most terrible mask”

Main task: decorate the mask.

Small images of insects, body parts, and bones serve as decoration. Everyone is given a ready-made template and glue to attach the selected designs.

2. Game "Trick or Treat"

Prepared in advance cards with various humorous tasks: crow, stick your head out the window and howl protractedly, sing a song, etc. They are placed in a carved pumpkin. In addition, notes with various penalties are prepared.

Each participant is given several small sweet things - candies, chewing gummies. The presenter invites the participant to draw a task from a pumpkin. After the participant has familiarized himself with the task, the presenter asks him: “Trick or treat?” In the first case, he gives away one of his sweets, in the second, he completes the task.

The one who runs out of sweets the fastest is considered the loser.

The one who loses must complete a penalty task.

3. Game - fortune telling for the betrothed

Similar to the old Scottish custom, you can conduct a comic fortune-telling for your betrothed.

To do this, all unmarried girls are given an apple and a knife, with which they will cut the peel from the fruit. After cutting off the peel, the girls throw it over their shoulder. The first letter of the future husband is determined by the position of the fallen peelings.

You can put all possible names in the form of a memo and give it to each fortune teller in a comic form to find your betrothed. You can also even indicate his approximate coordinates in a comic form (for example, your betrothed Pavel is located three flights on a broom to the north).

4. Game “Get the apples”

Several apples, preferably with tails, are placed in basins of water. The participants' task is to get an apple without using their hands and eat it as quickly as possible.

Of course, it is advisable to also provide a towel to wipe the participants’ faces.

5. “Pumpkin Relay”

Since pumpkin is the main attribute of the holiday, the advisability of using it for competitions is obvious.

The relay is held in two stages:

1. Creation of a holiday symbol - Jack's head. To complete the task, each participant needs to be given a knife and a small pumpkin, from which all the pulp is first removed, and then the face is cut out. A candle is inserted into the center of the pumpkin.
2. Carry a pumpkin with a lit candle so that the flame does not go out.

6. "Garlic Necklace"

Everyone knows that fighting vampires requires garlic and an aspen stake. In our case it will be garlic.

The participants’ task is to collect 13 heads of garlic, previously laid out in different places in the room, and make a garlic necklace out of them, tying them with thread.

7. “Find a match”

Pre-cooked 20 cards depicting various holiday attributes, two each: two pumpkins, two bats, etc. They are laid out in four rows of 5 cards each.

Two people participate. Each participant opens two cards. If they match, then he takes them for himself and makes another move. In case of a mismatch, the cards are turned over and the turn passes to the other participant.

The participant who collects the most cards wins. The loser performs a penalty task that was agreed upon in advance.

8. "Witch's Potion"

Pre-prepared list of required ingredients for the potion. For example, 5 spiders, 3 mandrake roots, dragon claw. All necessary components are laid out throughout the room in advance.

The participants' task is to prepare the potion faster than others by collecting all the components.

9. "Terrible Relay Races"

Relay races adapted to the theme of the holiday:

• "Race on the Broom" — witch competition;
• “Each finger has its own nail” : in the image of a hand, glue nails on each finger;
• "Find a Pair" : sort all the “eyes” - painted tennis balls - into pairs;
• "Delicious drink" : Drink a glass of “blood” - tomato juice or any red drink - through a double straw as quickly as possible.

10. "Scary bag"

A bag containing various items is passed around in a circle accompanied by ominous music. As soon as the music stops, the one who has the bag in his hands feels for an object in it and tries to guess what kind of thing it is and where it came from.

The game must meet a condition: the story must be scary.

11. “Creating a sculpture”

Participants are divided into pairs. In each pair, a “sculptor” and “clay” are selected.

Each sculptor must create a sculpture that matches the theme of the holiday.

To better express your imagination, you can use paints and additional items. You can create a sculpture with the help of two or three people.

12. "Word Game"

Since Halloween is a holiday of evil spirits, you need to choose words that describe evil spirits. For example, vile, terrible, terrible, etc.

The one who says the last word wins.

He is given the right to take out the main dish of the evening - “Pumpkin Pie”

13. "The Devil, the Cock and the Soldier"

All players are divided into two groups and discuss the task for the losing team in advance.

Each group agrees on who they will show: a devil - they imitate horns on their head, a rooster - they shout “Kukureku” and clap their hands on their sides, or a soldier - they stand at attention.

Having made a choice, both groups line up opposite each other and at the same time, at a signal, show the one they chose.

In different combinations, different actors win: the devil is afraid of the rooster, the rooster is afraid of the soldier, and the soldier, in turn, is afraid of the devil.

Play to three points. The losing team performs a penalty task.

14. "Haunted Volleyball"

There are two teams of two people participating, who stand at the edge of the table opposite each other. Each team is given two balloons, 4 balloons in total.

The participants' task is to throw the balls over half of the opponents so that they do not fall to the floor.

You can complicate the task: move the balls without using your hands.

15. Dance competitions:

• "Dance with a Broom" - a broom is passed around in a circle to the music; the one who has the broom when the melody stops must dance a waltz with it.
• "Count Dracula" — while music is playing outside during the day, everyone is dancing, Dracula is sleeping (a specially chosen person). Night falls, the music stops, Dracula goes hunting. All participants stand motionless. If Dracula notices that someone has moved, he takes him to his lair and turns him into a vampire, who, the next night, will go hunting with Dracula. The game continues until the most persistent participant is identified.
• "Reincarnations" - quickly change into a different costume while listening to the music.

16. "Ghost Contest"

Participants are divided into two teams that “howl” the tune of some famous melody.

The opponents' task is to guess the name of the song.
