1. Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is an interesting, fun activity for kids who like exploring and finding hidden treasures.

In a scavenger hunt, some interesting items like candies, spooky toys, mini pumpkins, etc, are hidden somewhere in the house. The kids will be given a checklist of the hidden items with rhyming clues to find them.

This will be a fun activity that all the kids will love playing, and you can end the game with treats and prizes to make it worth winning.

2. Deadly Wink

To play deadly wink, you have to sit in a circle with your friends and keep your eyes closed. Now, someone would secretly select one of you as a killer or a winker.

The winker will try to wink at the players and eliminate as many as possible without letting others know about it. Try out this fun activity with your friends and guess who is the winker among you.
