Halloween with 7 to 10 year olds: games and challenges they love
4 min read
Between 7 and 10, kids read, think fast and love taking on the grown-ups. A great Halloween at this age means mystery, a real challenge and a bit of independence.
Riddles they solve on their own
At this age, kids want to search without being given the answer. A riddle treasure hunt, where each card leads to the next, keeps them busy for a long time and makes them proud.
- Rhyming riddles they read themselves
- A secret letter on every card, to rebuild a magic word
- A final treasure hidden somewhere unexpected
Grown-ups versus kids
7 to 10 year olds love beating their parents. A quiz where parents answer questions about their kids (favorite cartoon, most hated food…) brings belly laughs and lasting memories.
A thrill, in the right dose
They like being a little scared, as long as they stay in control. Dim lights, short ghost stories and spooky dares work well. Avoid truly frightening images before age 9.
Activities for the afternoons
Detailed mandalas, harder mazes, word searches: during fall break, an activity book that gets harder as it goes keeps them busy, screen-free.
Our picks for ages 7-10
The Haunted Treasure Hunt includes twelve rhyming riddles for ages 7-10. The Spooky Activity Grimoire goes from easiest to hardest, and the Family Spooky Night Kit has the parents-versus-kids quiz. The box brings all three together.
