How to Play the Roll a Pumpkin Game
This printable Halloween game for kids is super easy to play, so it’s perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Here’s how to play:
- Download and print the game sheet and the pumpkin templates.
- Give each player a blank pumpkin template.
- Decide which player will go first. This game works best with at least 2 players.
- The first player rolls the pair of dice.
- That player counts how many dots are on the dice, and looks at the Roll a Pumpkin printable game sheet to see the corresponding instructions. For instance, if the player rolls an 11, then he would draw a scarf or a hat on his pumpkin template.
- The next player rolls the dice, and so on.
- The first person to complete their pumpkin wins the game!
