Children's Halloween Activities

Slow down the sugar consumption by emphasizing childrens Halloween activities this year. Dont nag about the Candy just keep youngsters busy and they will be less likely to eat it all in one sitting. When they are engaged in a vigorous game of Name That Tune, Halloween songs will hold their attention better than the Candy in those trick-or-treat bags. Even the extreme Candy consumption is not a big concern when compared to the possible problems when unsupervised youths allow festivities to get out of hand. Better to offer a night full of holiday favorites that will keep them close to home even when the Candy, scary Movies and exuberance get a little nerve wracking.

A scary movie trivia game can be a great way to satisfy the kids desire for Halloween type activities while still encouraging them to use their minds. Before the Party put together a bunch of index cards, you can decorate them if you like in Halloween colors, with a scary movie trivia question and the answ er on it. These questions can be multiple choices if you like. Then at the Party have the kids gather round and draw cards to take turns asking each other questions. You can keep track of who has the most right answers and give them a special treat at the end of the game.

Younger children can play the same type of trivia game but use cartoon characters or holiday images that are more familiar and less frightening. Guessing Games can be adapted to any age group. These can be as simple as Im Thinking of a Number where each has to write down his guess and the answer is drawn from a bowl. This can actually help young children reinforce learning their numbers. Simple Games with fewer rules and quick conclusions are best. Attentions spans are usually shortened by the increased excitement level of this season.
