Free Printable Halloween Games for Kids

This Halloween Simon Says game turns simple movement into a fun seasonal listening game.

The printable includes 12 Halloween-inspired actions:

👻 Float like a ghost
🕷️ Crawl like a spider
🧙 Cackle like a witch
🎃 Roll like a pumpkin
🦇 Fly like a bat
💀 Shake like a skeleton
🧟 Walk like a zombie
🌙 Howl at the moon
🧪 Stir a magic potion
🍬 Hop like candy corn
🐈‍⬛ Sneak like a black cat
👹 Stomp like a monster

Kids only perform the movement when the leader says “Simon says…” first.

It’s simple to set up, needs no special supplies and gives kids an easy way to move during Halloween season.

How to Play Halloween Simon Says

Choose one person to be Simon and have the other players stand where they have enough room to move safely.

Simon chooses one of the Halloween movements from the printable and gives a direction.

For example:

“Simon says, float like a ghost!”

Everyone should float around like a ghost.

But if Simon simply says:

“Crawl like a spider!”

without saying “Simon says” first, players should stay still.

Keep choosing different Halloween movements and try switching between commands with and without “Simon says.”

You can play just for fun or let kids take turns being Simon.

Skills Kids Can Practice

This Halloween movement game combines seasonal fun with several useful skills.

👂 Listening: Kids listen carefully for the words “Simon says.”
🧠 Attention & Focus: Players have to pay attention before reacting to each command.
🏃 Gross Motor Skills: Crawling, hopping, stomping, rolling and pretending encourage whole-body movement.
🛑 Impulse Control: Kids practice stopping and thinking before acting.
🗣️ Following Directions: Each Halloween prompt gives children a simple action to understand and perform.

Make the Game Even More Fun

You can also let children invent their own Halloween movements to add to the game.

For younger kids, keep the game relaxed and simply enjoy acting out the movements without eliminating anyone who moves at the wrong time.
