Eyeball Halloween Game
We love playing Halloween-themed “Minute to Win It” games, from classic favorites to exciting new ideas like Halloween scavenger hunts. One of our top picks is the doughnut “Minute to Win It” game, we changed it up a bit with the pumpkin on a string game. We also have a blast with the Vampire games!
Recently, my friend hosted a Halloween party featuring a spooky eyeball dig game and a Halloween eyeball toss. These ideas were fantastic, but I wanted to add a fun twist to our own Halloween activities with plastic eyeballs.
With the crisp October air and fall vibes, I decided to create a spooky after-school surprise for my kids. Before they came home from school, I hid ping pong eyeballs all around the yard—on trees, in the grass, and everywhere in between.
When they got off the school bus, they were in for a treat! The first round was a “Minute to Win It” challenge. I set a timer for one minute, and they had to find as many eyeballs as they could.
How to Play the Eyeball Halloween Game
What You Need:
- Plastic ping pong balls or small plastic eyeballs
- Tape or Putty (to stick the eyeballs to the trees)
- A timer
- Prizes (optional, for added fun!)
Setup:
- Prepare the Eyeballs: Use tape or adhesive to stick the plastic eyeballs to various spots on trees and other surfaces in your yard.
- Hide the Eyeballs: Place the eyeballs in different locations on the trees—high and low—so they’re partially hidden but still visible with a little searching.
- Get Ready: Gather the players and explain the game rules.
How to Play:
- Start the Timer: Begin the game by setting a timer for one minute.
- Find the Eyeballs: Players must search the area and try to find as many hidden eyeballs as possible before the timer runs out.
- Count the Eyeballs: Once time is up, count how many eyeballs each player has collected.
- Declare a Winner: The player who finds the most eyeballs wins the game. You can award a prize for added excitement!
Tips:
- For a bigger challenge, make sure some eyeballs are harder to spot by placing them in more concealed locations.
- Adjust the number of eyeballs and time based on the number of players and their ages.
Enjoy the spooky fun of finding eyeballs in this Halloween-themed game!
