Halloween Games for Kids: Safe and Fun Activities on Your Artificial Lawn

‘Tis the season to cast a spell on your outdoor space and conjure up the perfect haunt for ghosts and ghouls! This Halloween, it’s not just about candy – your artificial grass can become the ultimate spook-tacular playground with games that are more treat than trick.

With synthetic turf, your yard stays lush and green year-round, creating a safe and eerie wonderland for little monsters to play. Whether it’s creepy crawlies or costumed kiddos, you can rest easy knowing your outdoor space is as enchanting as it is durable.

Here are a few fun games you can play to make your Halloween a fa-boo-lous one:

Eyeball Race

This is a fun game you can play with the kids and is one that’s guaranteed to leave you in stitches. Grab two spoons from the kitchen, and two ping pong balls (which you can paint as eyeballs) and draw a start and finish line. Extra points if you’ve got a spooky skeleton hand from your Halloween decorations—perfect to use as a spoon for an extra eerie touch! Get the two participants to line up at the starting line. Once they’re off, they’ll need to reach the finish line without dropping the “eyeball.” If they do, they will need to go right back to the starting line! This game sounds simple, but trust us, it’s not easy! This is a fun game that will keep the kids entertained for a few hours.

Why Easigrass is Great: Our artificial grass installation process ensures that your terrain is even and smooth. This makes it the perfect surface for your little ones to run about on without you worrying about them tripping or falling when scurrying to the finish line.

Skeleton Scavenger Hunt

There are two ways to play this game. First, grab a few plastic skeletons from your local decoration store. Next, you’ll want to scatter all the “body parts” throughout your garden. However, make sure you’ve created a map so you know exactly where you’ve hidden all those “parts.” The first one to collect and assemble a skeleton is a winner.

The second version may be a little easier to play. Grab a bunch of small skeleton decorations and scatter them throughout your garden. The first one to collect the most plastic skeletons is the winner!

Why Easigrass is Great: During a scavenger hunt, participants may be running around, crouching, or digging for clues. Artificial grass is durable and can handle this wear and tear better than natural surfaces. You also won’t have to worry about mud or mess this Halloween!

Pumpkin Bowling

This is a hilarious game that doesn’t need much when it comes to setup. For your bowling ball, you’ll need a small to medium-sized pumpkin that has its stem cut off. Grab a few twigs or branches to create your bowling lanes. Grab 10 pins and place them at the end of the “lane,” which you will need to arrange in a pyramid formation. If you have bowling pins lying around – great. Otherwise, you can use soft drink bottles or stacks of toilet paper rolls as the pins.

Why Easigrass is Great: Not only does artificial grass provide a smooth and consistent surface, but its low maintenance features make clean ups easy! Whether it’s spilled pumpkin pieces or juices, you won’t have to worry about it mixing with mud or grass.

Mummy Wrap

This really is a great game for kids, but don’t let that stop you from joining in on the fun! This is best played with a large group, allowing you to split everyone into even teams. Once that’s done, each team will need to choose one person to wrap in toilet paper. You’ll need at least three rolls of toilet paper for each team. Set the timer for two minutes and watch as each team races to wrap their chosen person as quickly as possible before the timer runs out! The first one to finish is the winner, although the “judge” can use their discretion when choosing the best mummy.

You can make things even more exciting by having them do a few spooky things to add to the game. For example, have them run across the lawn like a mummy or complete a spooky obstacle course.

Why Easigrass is Great: Not only does artificial grass provide an even surface for wrapping, but it offers a soft landing surface for tumbles. Ensuring your little ones are safe when pretending to be a creepy mummy.

Bean Bag Toss – Halloween Edition

Each player gets between three to five bean bags. The objective is to toss the bags, aiming for the holes with the highest value points. Don’t forget to keep track of points, as the player with the most points at the end wins!

To add a spooky twist to this classic game, you’ll need a large wooden or cardboard board, which you can paint with an eerie Halloween theme (graveyard, pumpkin patch, etc.). Cut 3-5 different sized holes for the bean bags to be thrown through, but don’t forget to add different value points to each hole. You can go the extra mile by sewing or buying small bean bags with Halloween symbols.

Why Easigrass is Great: Artificial grass provides a stable foundation for the bean bag toss board, preventing it from shifting or tilting on uneven ground. This ensures a fair playing chance for each player!

A Safe and Spooky Halloween

Artificial grass provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that allows you to enjoy variety of spooky activities—Pumpkin Bowling, Mummy Wrap, and Bean Bag Toss—without the worry of muddy messes or uneven terrain. This is a perfect way to enjoy Halloween this year without worrying about damaging your lawn or your little ones taking a tumble.
