Every once in a while, I like to get crafty – usually because, as a parent, I am required to get crafty. Sure, I have walked away from a few volunteer events with battle wounds like back pain from spending way too long painting props, and a permanent scar on my hand from that time I opened a container of glitter with a flat head screwdriver. (Ouch!) Luckily for you, no glitter is required to put together any of the following fun DIY Halloween games for kids.

Bobbing for apples is one of the classic Halloween games for kids, but let’s face it-it’s not the most sanitary thing in the world.
