Kids Halloween Parties: No Tricks, Just Treats And Lots Of Fun Halloween Enjoyment
Posted on July 21, 2008
Door to door trick or treating may be a thing of the past, but Kids Halloween parties, done with imagination and creativity, can be an alternative not only every bit as much fun, but much safer than the door to door trick or treating you might have done in the past. You remember running excitedly from house to house on Halloween, yelling, "Trick or Treat!" and receiving goodies from everyone. A safer, more acceptable alternative is to easily and inexpensively entertain little ghouls and Goblins at your very own kids Halloween party.
It is important to make a guest list for your child's Halloween party, and enlist the help of other parents who want a safe, but fun, alternative for their own children, to provide adequate supervision. Keep in mind that, to keep children entertained and occupied, you must provide more than treats. Games, contests, and activities are important as well.
Here are some safe, fun suggestions sure to entertain at your kids Halloween party:
A costume contest where each child votes for the best costume at the party, and the winner receives a prize.
Pumpkin decorating contests. Each child is given a miniature pumpkin, and allowed to decorate the pumpkin with sequins, glitter, markers, yarn, etc. The children then vote on the best decorated pumpkin, and the winner earns a treat. Each child is allowed to take their decorated pumpkin home with them after the party.
Musical ghosts: the children form a circle, and while spooky music plays they pass the 'ghost' (a white, plastic bag filled with goodies, tied with a rubber band, and painted to look like a ghost head) and the child holding the 'ghost' when the music stops is out until only one child is left. That child is the winner, and earns the ghostly treat.
A game sure to find approval is Whos the Mummy? where the children divide up into pairs, and each pair is given a roll of toilet paper. With one child wrapping, and the other child being the mummy, who ever wraps the whole roll fastest wins the game, and a treat.
Another great game for your kids Halloween party, would be a quest to find the ghost who ate the candy. Small, white bags, with ghosts faces drawn on, are filled with Halloween candy, and hidden throughout the party area. Children would be given hints and instructions, and allowed to search to find the bags filled with treats.
Though the days of children being able to go door to door yelling "Trick or Treat" may be a thing of the past, and your childrens memories may be different from your own, your Kids Halloween party can create wonderful memories to cherish, and be passed down from generation to generation, while keeping your children not only happy, but safe, at their very own Kids Halloween party.
