Halloween fun for all wizards and warlocks!
Halloween will soon be here and many parents are wondering how and where to celebrate this spooky annual event.
When it comes to Halloween, there is no lack of variety in what is available. From trick or treating to hosting a scary movie marathon, finding something not to do would actually be more of a challenge! Here are some frightfully good ideas for you that will make for an interesting evening.
If your neighbourhood is a friendly one, you might like to trick or treat. This works especially well if you fore-warn your neighbours of your intentions by leaving a note on their doorstep a few days before Halloween.
Certain neighbourhoods, appartment blocks and gated communities really make an effort to be prepared with treats and some even decorate their front gardens. My children still remember the family who turned their whole front yard into a dark catacomb and the older brother who then sat quietly in the dark as we walked up the path before scaring us all half to death!
If Halloween falls on a school night this year, young children who need an early night will still feel as though they celebrated if you set up a few special treats, some arts and crafts and perhaps a fun movie before bedtime.
Print a few coloring pages and activities for them based on their favourite characters, for instance little girls love princesses and fairies and at sites like Fairy Coloring Pages you’ll find the best fairy coloring pages meanwhile at Spongebob Squarepants Coloring Pages you’ll find heaps of coloring pages of Bikini Bottom’s most absorbent dweller!
Fancy dress parties at Halloween are great fun to attend and if you are stuck for costume ideas, again – head for Google and do an image search! If you have teenagers, they may scoff at the thought of having a Halloween party but may like the thought of a night of terror and suspense. Depending on the children’s age, you could arrange to hire movies such as Hocus Pocus, Psycho or the Blair Witch Project. Just add a bunch of their best friends, popcorn, soda and a pizza delivery for instant teenage heaven.
Scour the web elsewhere too for a variety of activities including paper plate pumpkins and pipe cleaner spiders. Older children may enjoy making slime with two cups of water, half a cup of cornstarch and a few drops of red or green food colouring.
Murder Mystery parties are incredibly good fun and if you choose a theme that is Italian, Chinese or Indian, you won’t even have to cook– you can just order a home delivery – or pick up a take-away from your local Chinese or Indian take-away or from your favourite pizza place. Choose fun guest with a sense of humour and who will get into the spirit of the evening by dressing up and taking on the mannerisms and accent of the character you have chosen for them and you are in for a memorable evening.
To spend the evening playing games with family is also a great way to pass the time. Board games such as Cluedo or DVD games such as Atmosfear or the types of jigsaw puzzles that involve solving riddles are just perfect. Prepare some themed nibbles and a few drinks and you will have spent some true Halloween quality time together.
These are just a few ideas that will keep you occupied this eerie evening – happy howling!
