How to Play this Halloween Pin the Tail Game

The object of the game is simple, just like the classic donkey game! Print and tape the spiderweb poster onto the wall, cut out the spiders, and add a bit of double-sided tape to the back of each one. Each player writes their initials on their spider before putting on a blindfold.

One at a time, they get spun around once or twice, then try to pin their spider as close to the “X” on the web as possible. The first person to land nearest the mark wins! You can add a fun prize like candy corn, small toys, or even something silly like a roll of toilet paper as a funny Halloween spin.

The game couldn’t be easier, and if you already know how to play the classic pin the tail on the donkey game like we all played during birthday parties in the 90s, then you already know how to play this spider game. It’s just a halloween twist on that fun game – super easy and a whole lot of fun.

What You’ll Need for your Halloween Pin the Spider on the Web Game

All you need are a few simple supplies: your printed pages, scissors, and some double-sided tape. The game prints perfectly on regular paper, but cardstock will make it last longer, especially if you want to reuse it for classroom parties or family gatherings.

One of the best things about this game is how quickly it comes together. You don’t need any fancy supplies or big setup, just print, cut, and play.

It’s one of those simple games that always gets everyone laughing, no matter how old they are. Even if you’re planning a last-minute Halloween gathering, you can have this ready in minutes.

It’s an easy activity to set up and works great for both small groups and larger teams. Younger kids can go first, or you can turn it into a relay race with team members taking turns to reach the finish line.

You can also get creative with how you play. Instead of spinning players around, let younger kids walk straight up to the web for an easier version. For older kids, add a little challenge by spinning them twice or making them take a few extra steps before placing their spider. However you choose to play, it’s guaranteed to bring lots of giggles and a fun competitive spirit.
