How do I Find Game Ideas for a Teenage Halloween Party?
- 1). Search online for party sites. "Mom pages," party stores and forums are also valuable resources. Look for Halloween-specific or age-group-specific sites and use search terms like "teen Halloween party games" or "party game ideas." SpookMaster, creator of pumpkin carving patterns, offers online resources for party planning including games and recipes at SpookMaster.com. PartyGameIdeas.com offers murder mysteries, "gross food games," scavenger hunts and more.
- 2). Check out books or magazines from your local library. Look for books from the 1970s or earlier for "retro" or "vintage" game ideas, or turn to more current publications for modern ideas. You can also use short horror stories or plays as scripts for murder mysteries or use the board game "Clue" as a basis for an acting game.
- 3). Talk with other people in your neighborhood. Parents can relate ideas that are popular or unpopular with potential party attendees as well as suggest games they've already tried or help you brainstorm new ones. Particularly if you are new to a neighborhood, local moms and dads can help you avoid party pitfalls and throw a successful party.
- 4). Talk to the teenagers who will be attending the party. They may have very strong opinions about games they absolutely do or do not want to play and can suggest alternate activities or compromises as well. They can also help you determine the tone and theme of the party, which can affect the games selected.
