At Educamps, Halloween is one of our favourite times of year! Our October Half Term Camp is packed with spooky fun, laughter, and a few creepy surprises. These are just some of the activities we love to run with our campers – plus a few extras you can easily try at home.
1. Mummy Making 🧟♀️
Grab some tissue paper and wrap your “mummy”! Add red paint or fake blood for spooky detail.
2. Pumpkin Carving 🎃
Scoop out your pumpkin, choose a design, and carve funny or spooky faces to light up at night.
3. Apple Bobbing 🍎
First, try to grab an apple from a bucket of water using only your mouth… then plunge straight into a tray of flour to collect hidden sweets! Messy, hilarious fun.
4. Spider Cookies 🍪🕷️
Bake and decorate cookies with Malteser “spider bodies” and chocolate legs – a spooky treat to enjoy with friends.
5. Guess The Goo! ❓
Blindfolded, put your hands into bowls of mystery slime and creepy textures! Can you tell what’s hiding inside?
6. Spooky Slime 🦠
Make gooey green or purple slime and add plastic spiders, googly eyes, or glitter to give it a creepy Halloween twist.
7. Spider Races 🥇🕷️
Cut out paper spiders and blow them along a track using straws. First to the finish line wins!
8. Haunted Scavenger Hunt 🔦🎃
Hide spooky objects (plastic spiders, skeleton hands, candy) around the house or garden. Give kids a list or clues and see who can find them all first!
9. Witch’s Hat Ring Toss 🧙
Make a cone-shaped witch’s hat from black card or use a costume hat. Try throwing glow stick rings (or hoops made from string) to land on the hat.
10. Ghost Bowling 🎳👻
Paint empty bottles white and draw spooky ghost faces on them. Stack them like bowling pins and use a ball (or small pumpkin!) to knock them down.
It’s not too late to secure your child’s spot on our October Half Term Camp!
Give them a frightfully fun holiday full of Halloween games, outdoor adventures, and new friends.
