COVID-19 has made this spooky time of year feel so much scarier and not in the zombie jump scare kind of way.
The pandemic has made lots of people feel less safe trick or treating this year, so we thought it would be fun to come up with some alternatives. Here's what we came up with: 1. Trick or treat your own house and yard! Set up treat stations at every room. For younger kids maybe ask them to do a dance or sing a rhyme for a treat. Older kids can solve riddles Want more stations? Use your yard too! 2. Create a new family tradition. Perhaps make monster mash popcorn (add candy corn and skittles and crunchy noodles) watch your favorite Halloween movie. 3. Party with your pod! Do you have a "pod" you've developed through the pandemic? Have a party with them. Music, costumes and treats. If you're safe with people in your "isolation bubble" you could have a scavenger hunt outdoors followed by a bon fire. You might want to skip bobbing for apples this year, though. 4. BOO your neighbors. Make a treat and drop them off at your neighbors doors. Remember to wear a costume for more holiday spirit! Do it under the cover of darkness for a spooky (but pleasant) surprise. 5. Virtual Party! If you have Amazon Prime or Disney+, you can hold a watch party. This means that you can pick your favorite Halloween movie and watch it with friends and family when you're in separate homes. Pandora also has a similar function so you can even have a virtual dance party! Use your phone or tablet to chat and show off your costumes, treats, and decorations while you're watching/listening for a more connected experience. We hope you stay safe and enjoy this Halloween!
