Gross Object Halloween Guessing Game

Halloween Games are so much fun to play. They are some of our favorite family games because they are usually hands-on, active, and a touch of spooky. Throughout the years, I’ve shared many fun Halloween Games for kids and teens, like Pumpkin Bowling Game, Haunted Castle Bean Bag Toss, and Pass the Skeleton Bone Race.

Supplies You’ll Need for This Game

  • paper plates or paper bowls
  • food to go in boxes – find my list of Halloween food ideas below

Scissors

How to Set up this Halloween Game for the Kids to Play

Put the boxes together and secure them with tape

cardboard box

Cut openings on two opposite sides of the boxes for players to put their hands into for guessing. Do not completely cut the cardboard away. Leave one side intact so it hangs over and covers the gross object inside.

Print off the guessing game printable. You can always add your own ideas on the back of the paper for more fun

Provide pencils for writing.

Add your bowls of food and objects to the boxes. Because you cut openings on both sides of the boxes, you can put 2 bowls in each box for a total of 8. If you add more objects or food items, you will need to add more boxes to hide them.

Use a marker to number the openings so kids can fill in the numbers on the printable

How to Play this Halloween Guessing Game

With the Halloween Guessing Game Printout in hand, kids should go around to each opening and reach into the boxes to guess what is inside.
