10 Halloween Party Themes for Kids
I have always loved Halloween parties. The atmosphere, the costumes, the treats and yes, even the tricks are so much fun and I love scary costumes! I also love theme parties. It’s so cool to have a specific theme for a party. So I thought it would be even more fun to have a theme Halloween party.
I put together this list of 10 Halloween party themes for kids just for my readers.
- DIY Costume Party- it doesn’t matter what you decide to be, as long as the costume is homemade.
- Jack-O-Lantern Party- have a pumpkin carving station and a small pumpkin for each child to make their own jack-o-lantern to take home.
- Monster Mash – ask guests to come dressed as any type of monster they like.
- Royalty Party- each kid comes dressed as a King, Queen, Prince or Princess.
- Superhero Party- ask guests to come dressed as their favorite superhero.
- Movie Character Party- everyone comes in costume as a character from their favorite movie.
- Decade Party- pick a decade; the 60’s and the 80’s are fun for costumes or have everyone come in a costume from their favorite decade.
- Potluck Party- ask parents to help their kids make a Halloween themed dish and bring it to the party.
- Cupcake Decorating Party- set up a table with frosting and toppings and let each child decorate their own Halloween cupcake.
- Haunted Backyard Party- decorate your backyard to look as creepy and scary as you can and have family members dressed as zombies or ghosts wandering around scaring guests.
Halloween theme parties are a fun idea and kid’s really enjoy them. Pick one of these 10 Halloween party themes for kids or get creative and come up with your own unique theme. Come back and let me know what theme you chose and tell me all about your kid’s theme Halloween party.

I love the potluck idea. That gives each chance to showcase their creativity!
You’ve got a great list! I would love to have a haunted backyard party.
During October we have Halloween themed family movie nights. We make snacks and pick our favorite Halloween movies.
Themed parties sound like a lot of fun! I would love to host a superhero party or even a haunted back yard party. That would be a blast!
I love the idea of a Jack o Lantern party! I think that would be a lot of fun for the kids and for me!
I think a monster mash would be tons of fun. I have seen lots of “gross” recipes for Halloween on Pinterest lately and they would all work together for the food at a party like that!
I haven’t had a real party in years. Halloween would be a great time to throw one. Thanks for the ideas!
I like the make your own costume. Can you imagine what people might come up with. Could be funny.
Such great ideas! I can’t believe it’s already almost Halloween.
these are such cute ideas for kids costumes! So very cute!
Love the ideas! A cupcake party sounds yummy and fun!
I like the idea of the Monster Mash party best. My older sister would go for the superhero party, while my younger sister would fit right in with the Royalty. My brothers would join the cupcake party right away. Good ideas, all.
A haunted backyard party sounds so fun. My hubby makes a haunted house in the basement every year. 🙂
This is such a great list! I would love to have a monster mash!
the kids asked for a halloween party this year. I might reconsider now
I’ve always loved DIY costume themes. My sisters and I would do DIY Halloween parties with their kids all the time when I was younger.
Decade parties are always fun! they are easy to find costumes for too.
Great birthday party ideas too! My son would love a super hero party
My kids love playing dress up! It’d be fun to have a dress up themed party.
Hi Dina,
Those are some amazing Halloween Party Themes you have picked out for kids this year. I have seen some wonderful Super Hero Costumes added this year for boys and girls that I cannot wait to see on my kiddos. I think we will go with that one 🙂
Have a great weekend,
Victoria
Those are great ideas. I’ve always wanted a Halloween birthday in our family, but it hasn’t happened and probably won’t happen. We do like to have Halloween parties though.
I like the idea of making a costume party DYI. It forces people to use the creative side of their brain. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a pre-made costume.
I love theme parties. We throw one every year. This is our 8th year of having them. We go all out.
I’m a huge fan of the decade party theme! 80’s to be exact! Big hair, shoulder pads… awesome music! I’m there!
I have a daughter with a birthday right at Halloween. I cross my fingers and hope for Halloween themes every year! It’s just so much fun.
We don’t do Halloween really but I have a friend who has a Halloween birthday party, so we usually go to her party. 🙂 That means I don’t have to come up with activities with my kids but just tag along with hers. 🙂
How cute and creative are these ideas! I love the DIY costume ideas!!!
