Other Cool Ways to Celebrate October 31st

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed a general consensus from other parents about Halloween and how it’s celebrated (if at all). Many have grown leery about the different safety factors of Trick or Treatin’ and how to substitute the candy to more healthy ones, to not being comfortable with the origins of Halloween. It’s completely understandable BUT how do you explain it to the kids??

Instead of wracking your brain about explaining, here’s a few other ways to make the 31st of October fun for everyone!

Rename it – Change October 31st to something cool and special like, “Masquerade Night”. Providing a twist to your new family night will certainly added excitement for everyone!


Dress Up – Dressing up is the BEST part of your night! Dress the kids up in their favorite character for the evening and let the night begin!

Activities – Make your new family night the best ever by including interactive games like, Hide the Snack Bag (similar to the Easter Egg Hunt), dancing with the kids, etc. You can also start a family tradition by making fun sweets like Apple Bites or a dinner like BBQ Bat Wings, Spaghetti & Eyeballs, followed by a movie. If time is a factor, dress the kids up and take them out for dinner with their costumes on!


Whatever you come up with, make sure it’s fun and positive for everyone!
