I started my career as a Speech and Language Pathologist many years ago and the spider web game was one of the first games I made. My very dear friend and mentor, Jill, introduced me to this game as she was using it with her students working on specific sounds. I quickly made one of my own for my therapy sessions. This game was so much fun the kiddos started asking to play it in September and kept wanting to play it through Thanksgiving.

PreK, My Style: Halloween Spider Web Game, PreK Style. This game can be a little challenging for some of your preschoolers but after a few minutes most children pick it up and really have fun with it. First have your class sit in a large circle and cross their legs and explain the importance of holding on to the yarn when it is tossed to them and not letting go until our web is complete.

Start making your spider web by holding the end of the ball of of yarn and tossing it across the circle to someone you believe will follow the directions. I suggest at this point you call out each name the yarn is to be tossed to next. This will ensure each child is getting a turn and can control the shape and pattern your spider web is taking. Well, as much as possible with a group of preschoolers. lol Go around your circle as long as the children are engaged or you run out of yarn.

Our game usually ends when somebody gets bored or silly and lets go... but most things end that way don't they?? Chicken babies: Lair of the Spider Queen: Halloween Game. This is a fun Halloween party game, or anytime game! The kids get really excited to play every Fall. *this post contains affiliate links This afternoon when my kids came downstairs from quiet time they found that our hallway had been invaded by spiders.

They had to use some super adventurer skills to get through safely. Similar to the laser beam challenge from Maren's spy party last year, I taped white streamers around the hallway and poked spider rings through the streamers, making a fun obstacle course for the kids. The kids decided it was the lair of the spider queen, and if you knocked down a string of web (streamer) it meant you had been caught and eaten. Then the kids thought we should make the entrance to her cave a bit spookier, so we hung some streamers and Maren made a sign. This would be a fun halloween party game, or a fun game for a rainy fall day. If you liked this game, be sure to check out the rest of our Halloween ideas on the blog.
