Halloween Games
Even though it is still hitting 100 degrees here in AZ (I heard it is supposed to ‘cool’ down to the 90’s next week), I’m totally ready to start decorating for Halloween. Maybe it’s because I’ve been creating some fun Halloween games and can’t wait to play them with my students! I thought I would share some of my students favorite Halloween games.
Witches’ Brew- A Halloween Composition Game is an interactive composition game where students will roll a dice and spin a letter to determine the rhythm they should use for their Halloween composition. It’s a great way to review note placement on the staff (stems going up/down), time signatures, rhythm, measures… all while creating a fun piece they can call their own!
Trick or Treat is a brand new game I added to my store. It is a halloween themed game in “hot potato” style. Students will be earning treats or doing musical tricks in this fun group game!
Boo! (A Rhythm Bump It Game). Students will have fun “boo-ing” other players off the board with this Halloween themed rhythm game. Players will roll a dice and find the matching rhythm values to the number rolled. The goal is to “boo!” the other players off the board and be the last ghost standing. Can be played in a small group or between student and teacher.

I believe that Witch’s Brew would work best in my studio.
I would love any of these games. I have a Halloween group lesson coming up and any one of these would be a fun addition.
I like all of them!!! Besides group lessons, waiting siblings could play the “Boo Game” with each other to reinforce their rhythm recognition. You are so creative Jennifer!
I never realized what a goldmine Halloween was with piano games. Thanks for being a contributor! I’m slowing getting with the games in lessons idea and its a nice break away from the bench for both me and my students. I like all of them! You really covered a big range of review.
Think I would like Trick or Treat
Hope I win Witches Brew
Any would be great. Would like to try Boo.
All the games looks like so much fun! Probably prefer Witch’s Brew
Fun! Sometimes I think my students live for games.:)
Wow! I love all these games and all of them would really turn on my students to some excitement about piano lessons. So it is really hard to choose one. Perhaps Witches Brew, since I am trying to focus on improvizing skills this term.
If I don’t win — you are going to get a trick!
All the games look wonderful, but I think the Trick or Treat game would be especially fun at my next Piano Master Class when all my students get together!
Trick or Treat or Boo – all my classes are Group so I like to have many games to choose from.
The new game looks really fun! You are so creative. Kids always love a game with a treat. The Boo game would be fun too to use with a student and teacher. Thanks!
