Instructions

? How to Play:

Prepare Monster Pairs

Write down Halloween creature pairs on slips of paper (one creature per slip).

Each pair should be identical (e.g., 2 Vampires, 2 Ghosts, 2 Werewolves, etc.).

Example pairs:

Vampire ? + Vampire ?

Witch ? + Witch ?

Zombie ? + Zombie ?

Frankenstein ? + Frankenstein ?

Bat ? + Bat ?

Ghost ? + Ghost ?

Skeleton ☠️ + Skeleton ☠️

Mummy ? + Mummy ?

Hand Out Monster Identities

Mix up the slips and hand one to each participant.

Tell them not to show anyone what their monster is.

Act It Out!

On “go,” everyone must act like their monster (no talking—just actions or sounds).

Their goal is to find their matching monster by observing others’ behavior.

Once They Match…

Once two players believe they’re the same monster, they check their slips.

If they’re right, they sit down together.

If they’re wrong, they keep looking!
