How to Make Your DIY Spider Web Maze
1.Choose Your Indoor Space - Find a hallway space that will work for your Halloween party.
The maze can end in a room that you have your Halloween party in, or just a space for kids to wait while everyone participates
2. Put Up Your Door Covering - If your Halloween maze ends at a door, put up the door covering first. Try this creepy spider door cover or this fun spider web cover.
3. Tape Your Streamers to the Wall
- Start at the end and move your way to the start
- Tape one end of the streamers to the wall and stretch them across the hallway at different angles.
- Place some high to step over, some low to crawl under, and some in the middle to duck through.
- When you're in the middle of the maze, hang your large spider from a fishing line and tape it to the ceiling. Add as many spiders as you want around the spider web.
Try these spider wall decals or ceiling spiders to decorate the walls and ceiling along the hallway.
How to Play
You can choose to play this Halloween game just for fun at home or competitively for Halloween Parties.
If playing competitively, time the kids as they race through the maze to see who is the fastest. You can even have a prize for the winner.
Here's how to play:
- Kids take turns racing through the hallway maze.
- The goal is to get to the end without breaking the spider web strands.
- If a strand is broken, the player starts over again.
- If you're playing competitively, make sure to time the kids.
Tip: Keep the fun going by letting the kids rearrange the spider web at different angles so they can keep trying it over and over again.
Outdoor Spider Web Maze
If you want to play outdoors, tie strings to trees or stakes in the ground to create a spider web. Then have the kids try and walk through it without touching the string.
This is an easy and cheap Halloween activity that is perfect for Halloween parties or rainy days stuck indoors. I hope you try this energy-busting Halloween Spider Web obstacle course and your kids enjoy it as much as mine did!
