3 Halloween Games You Can Play with the Launcher Maker Kit

Halloween is just around the corner, and we have some great ideas for how to celebrate this spooky holiday in your own backyard. We’ve rounded up three awesome Halloween-inspired games that you can do with our Launcher Maker Kit.

Launcher Candy Hunt

What you’ll need:

• A Candy Variety Pack

• Ten small bowls or cups

• The Launcher Maker Kit

No trick-or-treating this year? No problem. The Launcher Candy Hunt is super simple to play and fulfills your sweet tooth! All you need is a candy variety back (or any candy of your choice), ten small bowls or cups, and the Launcher. 

To start the game, fill up each bowl with different candy. Make sure your kiddos can’t see what’s inside! Have them stand a few feet away. The goal is to aim the ball into one of the bowls. Wherever the bowl lands will determine what piece of candy the player wins! 

This activity is such a fun way to hang out with your kids and keep them away from their screens! It’s also a great excuse to munch on some yummy treats.

Ghost Slingshot

What you’ll need:

• Cardboard

• Wooden Stakes

• Markers or paint to decorate your ghost targets

• The Launcher Maker Kit

This game is similar to the previous one. However, instead of having kids hunt for candy, they’re hunting for ghosts! All you need for this game is your creativity, some cardboard to build your ghost targets, and wooden stakes. Make as many ghost targets as you’d like and hide them around your front or backyard. Then, have the kids aim and shoot to capture a ghost! Whenever a target is hit, make sure to mark it. Once all targets have been hit, count them up. The player who hits the most ghost targets wins! 

Spooky Connect Four 

What you’ll need:

• Velcro dots

• Cardboard

• Double-sided Tape

• 20 small ping pong balls

• The Launcher Maker Kit

This is an old classic. The kids love it because they get to connect four without having to use their hands. First, build your board out using paint or markers. Then, tape the velcro dots on all 20 slots. Once your board is built, tape the leftover velcro dots to all twenty ping pong balls. Remember to mark each ball so you know how to differentiate colors. Sit down and decorate them with your kids if you'd like!

The first player to connect four balls of the same color or marking wins. That's it! Let them go at it!

Conclusion

We hope these three Halloween games inspire you to create your own fun activities for your family. Happy crafting!
