How do you have fun with your family on Halloween? I was always trying to come up with a new fun activity to do with my kids. One year we did a Mummy Wrap with my Cub Scouts when I was a Den leader. This is where teams race to wrap one of their members in toilet paper to make the best mummy. It was great fun! Is there a favorite game or activity that you do each year? Maybe you'll find a new favorite below!
Here are some fun ways to celebrate Halloween with your family:
Have a Jack-O-Lantern carving contest and give prizes for the most creative, spookiest, funniest, etc.
See who can make the best DIY costume
Play flashlight tag
Play flashlight hide and seek (turn off the lights in the house)
Make and decorate sugar cookies in Halloween shapes
Take some treats or gifts to friends that you know have allergies and have a difficult time with Trick-or-Treating
Visit a Haunted House
Make up spooky stories
Bob for apples
Donut eating races: Hang mini donuts by strings, players must eat the donuts without using their hands
