Game Ideas

Make this party a success with some of these All Saints Day game favorites:

Canonize the Saint

Think your classic carnival “ring toss” game, but instead of pins, place saint statues on the table or floor and use a glow bracelet to toss. You can learn more about the game here. 

St. Isidore Pumpkin Roll

Each participant rolls a pumpkin from a designated starting point to a designated finishing line. Whoever crosses the line first wins! You can learn more about this game here. 

Saint Matching Game

For a smaller party with younger kids, this is a great game! A twist on Memory, kids take turns trying to match images of the saints! 

Pin the Rose on St. Rose of Lima

A twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” participants try to pin a rose on the flower crown of St. Rose of Lima. There are lots of images of St. Rose of Lima available online–just make sure you print one with her wearing a crown of flowers!  

Protect the Priest

Mix up traditional dodgeball by assigning a player on each team as the “priest.” If someone gets hit by the dodgeball, they must immediately sit down and wait for their priest to come “heal” (tag) them. But if the priest gets hit, no one on the team can be healed and the other team will eventually win. So protect the priest! 

St. Francis Animal Toss

Collect your bean bag animals and set up a basket under an image of St. Francis. Kids can take turns trying to toss the bean bag animals into the basket.  

St. Kenneth Relay Race

Organize the kids into teams and conduct a running relay race. BUT, in honor of St. Kenneth, all runners must run while wearing only ONE shoe during the race. The reason we play this game with one shoe on is because of this story: one of St. Kenneth’s very good friends was St. Columba. Once, St. Columba was on a long sea voyage and suddenly, thousands of miles away in Ireland, St. Kenneth jumped up and declared that his friend was in danger. St. Kenneth ran to the chapel to pray but was in such a rush that he did not notice that he was missing a shoe! St. Kenneth’s prayers brought St. Columba safely home so now, we play this game as a reminder of how we should always be in a rush to pray for our friends!

Costume Contest

Hold a costume contest where the guest of honor (often the parish priest) has to guess who each child is dressed as! This is a great way to learn about new saints while also giving each child’s costume a chance to shine!

Decorations

We have two free decoration downloads available for your party!

You can download our All Saints Party Banner and All Saints Cupcake Toppers on the blog! Plus–if you’d like to have a special nod to Our Lady at your party, we still have the Our Lady Cupcake Toppers available as well!

Party Favors

In preparation for All Saints Day, I created a collection of our best resources for party favors or prizes! You can find the complete collection HERE, but here are a few of my favorites below:

First, our current best-selling resource is our NEW Blessed Carlo Acutis coloring book! Not only will this share the wonderful life of Blessed Carlo Acutis, but it also includes this young boy’s “kit” for becoming a Saint! These eight steps will inspire young children to emulate all the Saints who have gone before them! These eight steps will also make a great conversation starter for older kids at your party!

Second, our Saint Sticker Sheets should not be missed! Sold in 5-packs with bulk discounts, these are the perfect party favors for all! You can find the complete list of Saints included on this sticker sheet HERE.

Costume Inspiration

Perhaps one of the best parts of preparing for an All Saints Day party is creating the costumes! This is a special day each year when kids get to celebrate their favorite Saints or Blesseds through costumes and props!

While there are so many very popular Saints to choose from, I recently found so many “new to me” Saints in the new Saints Around the World book. Since I have spent most of my life surrounded by the lives of saints (by both performing in and writing Glory Stories), I am usually underwhelmed by most Saint treasuries since I already know the majority of stories included. However, in Saints Around the World, there were many, many saints whose stories I had never heard before. I cannot recommend this book enough to Catholic families looking to expand their library of saints!

Get this treasury for your kids to page through prior to your upcoming All Saints Party. Perhaps they will uncover a new friend to dress up as and win the prize for the most “hard to guess” Saint!
