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 All Hallow's Eve....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 incredibly well if you give advance notice to your friends and 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 house of the guy who turned his whole front yard into a dark catacomb and who then sat quietly in the dark as we walked up the path before scaring us all half to death!
If Halloween happens to fall on a school night this year, at least younger children will still feel as though they celebrated the occasion if you set up some special treats and arts and crafts and perhaps a movie evening for them 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 pictures meanwhile at Spongebob Squarepants Coloring Pages you'll find heaps of coloring pages of Bikini Bottom's most absorbent dweller!
Halloween fancy dress parties are great to both host and attend and if you are at a loss for costume ideas, again - head to 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 their age, you could arrange to rent DVDs of 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 net 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 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 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 handfull of ideas that will keep you occupied this eerie evening - happy howling!

Casper Meets Wendy $8.98 The creepiest thing about Casper Meets Wendy is the title characters’ romance–bashful, cutie pie Casper shouldn’t be prone to weaknesses of the flesh (he is, after all, a ghost). And he’s entirely too childlike to take up with a witch even of Wendy’s decidedly non-wicked order. Still, sparks fly in this madcap jumble of a film, and so do the sort of zippy one-liners and presto-type magic tricks t… |
