#1 DIY Halloween board games for kids party
You can play Halloween board game with your child or kids can play together.
#1.1 Halloween board games for kids to practice math (Educational or Classroom Game)
Because this website is focused on math, we modified Halloween board game to practice counting and number recognition 1-6:
- Fill in all fields with numbers 1 to 6.
- Place the board game in the center of the play area: you can put the printed board on the table or even on the floor.
- All players place their game piece (Lego piece) on START position.
- Each player rolls the dice and the player with the highest roll has the first turn.
- Players move their game piece forward to the nearest space with the number they rolled.
- The next player takes their turn, rolling the dice and jumping forward to the nearest matching number.
- Continue taking turns until one player reaches the FINISH. The first player to reach the FINISH wins!
- If a player lands exactly on the last space, he/she wins immediately. If they roll a number that doesn’t allow them to move forward, they must wait for the next turn.
Variation: Roll 2 dice. Before moving, the player must state a simple math problem using the numbers rolled. Solve a math problem (e.g., 3 + 4, 6 – 1, 5 x 2). Use colored fields—orange = addition, green = subtraction, purple = skip a turn, multicolor = move back one step.
#1.2 Free Halloween paper games (Focus: Simple Counting & Fun)
Players take turns rolling the die and moving their piece that exact number of spaces.
Special rules for landing on the Space Color:
- Orange Space: Find a piece of candy/small prize in the "Cauldron" (a separate bowl).
- Purple Space: Choose another player to say a spooky sound (A "boo," a hiss, etc.). If they do it, you get to move 1 extra space.
- Green Space: Move back one step or lose your next turn.
