I agree that teens love to act like kids. I used to sponsor a Haunted House at the high school fall carnival every year. My high school students loved playing and dressing up. We also had a large school wide costume dance several years and they played games there, too. They loved the silly things like passing an orange from person to person while it was held under the neck. No hands are allowed in this.
They also had a riot with things like moving lifesavers down a yard stick with a toothpick in their mouth.
We also did the food testing thing where they were blindfolded and they had to taste things and try to identify them. I used a lot of baby foods and squishing things.
Below are some of the games that I will be using this year at my Boo Bash for adults. I think that teens would love the Winking Murder Game.
Witch Prickling Competition Game
Use an old dress makers dummy and put a ' devil's mark' on the dummy with a felt tip, then wrap the whole dummy in swathes of crepe paper, then as people arrive they will be given a pin with their name on it and be invited to 'prick the witch' - at the end of the night the witch will be carefully undressed and the person who's pin is closest to the 'devil's mark' will win a prize.
Make A Mummy Party Game
Divide into two groups (or three groups if it is a large Halloween party). Select one from each group to be the mummy. Give each group a roll of toilet paper. When you say "go" each group wraps toilet paper around the mummy candidate. The first group that empties their roll of toilet paper wins. You can also give a prize to the best wrapped mummy.
Winking Murder Game
Hand out the following as guests arrive. The first Congratulations printout ONLY goes to one person. Pick him or her carefully. They should be able to be discrete and not reveal their role during the night.
Print out for ONE Guest:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You are tonight’s murderer!!!
You have tonight’s easiest role!
Your job is to “kill” everyone at the party before the night is over. You will do this by winking one eye at them.
Be sly, cautious, & subtle. Everyone knows there is a winking killer on the loose. So, they may try to avoid eye contact with you.
Your victims will have 3 minutes, after being winked at/murdered, to die. Therefore, you have time to flee the crime scene, get a good seat, and enjoy watching them die…(they have a pre-determined death in their hands).
Let the killings begin!
Enjoy!
Everyone else receives a print out of this message. But note that EACH person should have a different pre-determined and assigned death written on their note:
BEWARE!!!
There is a winking killer amongst us!
Yes, you read correctly…winking! Before the night is over, the murderer will make eye contact with you and wink one eye. This means you have just been killed!
Your murderer has decided to end your life by:
HAVING YOU LAUGH YOURSELF TO DEATH!!! (each person will have a different death)
You will have 3 minutes to choose where you’d like to die…then…die.
Yes…we must see you die. Remember, the killer will not perform the action… that is your job! The killer will wink and expect you to complete the death. So, the more creative, dramatic, and visible the death…the better we will remember you by.
Once you have been killed, do not reveal the killer…or you will be very lonely on the other side.
I would obviously just do 1 murderer, and for the rest, i would print out several sheets, then just handwrite a different death for each one.
i put out about 3/4 of the papers WITH the murder one in there. Then as people continue to show up, i put in more deaths if i need to. That way i didnt have left overs and risk the chance for the murder one not to get chosen.
