Get everyone involved in the game with these Printable Halloween Charades For Kids. Perfect for your Halloween party.
When my oldest completely fell in love with a charades game I made before we went camping, I knew I had to make them for the next holiday.
With picture cards and words to make it easy for readers and non-readers alike to participate, these Printable Halloween Charades For Kids are a goofy way to have some big Halloween fun.
It might take a bit of explaining on how the game really works, especially if some participants have never played before, but I just adore seeing the little brains turning on how to demonstrate something without words.
The joy on their faces, the serious concentration, and the excitement at someone getting their actions right is what Halloween memories are made of.

How To Set Up Your Printable Halloween Charades For Kids
The cards are very easy to set up, so rest easy in knowing you don’t need a lot of materials or time to be ready to play.
To play:
1. Print the Halloween Charades For Kids cards. There are 27 cards spread across 3 pages.
2. Cut out your cards.
3. Laminate them! While this is total optional, I highly recommend it so you can keep the cards clean and dry and play again and again (because it does get a little addictive for your more theatrical players). I love my lamintor!
How Play Halloween Charades
The game is very standard to your usual charades game, but instead of silently demonstrating movies, books, and TV shows, players are demonstrating various Halloween activities and themes.
- Lay the cards face down on a table, or fold them in half and put them in a bowl.
- The first person picks one card. Don’t show anyone the card.
- The person acts out the card without words. The rest of the players have to guess what the card said through the person’s actions.
- Optional: Play in teams! You can even set a timer for how long one team has to guess the action.
