HALLOWEEN PARTY GAMES: SPIDER FINE MOTOR FUN!

Are you on duty to cook up some fun Halloween party games for your child’s classroom party?  Or maybe you’re having a Halloween party of your own!  Here’s a super fun and easy fine motor game – perfect for working on grasping and visual motor skills!

this …

We love a good fine motor game!  This one is like the classic game of Kerplunk…only with a Halloween theme.  Grab a handful of those plastic spiders you’re using for your Halloween decor and get started!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

-Uncooked pasta noodles
-Plastic spiders or spider rings
-Plastic basket or other container with holes on the sides

WHAT TO DO:

Thread a bunch of uncooked noodles through the holes on either side of your container to make the spider web.  

Sprinkle a handful of plastic spiders onto the web, so they balance on the noodles.

Go around the group, having kids take turns pulling one noodle out at a time.  The object of the game is to pull a noodle on each of your turns without letting any of the spiders fall!  

If a spider falls, you’re out!  The last child left in the game is the winner!

HOW TO CHANGE IT UP:

-Change the object of the game!  Have kids strategically pull out noodles to try to make the spiders fall as quickly as possible!

-Have the kids set up the game, threading the noodles through the holes of the basket.

SKILL AREAS ADDRESSED:

Fine motor skills, grasp, visual motor integration, coordination, cognitive skills, social skills
