Indoor and Safe Halloween Games for Families

I know the majority of cities had canceled their city-sponsored Trick or Treat and while CDC releases new guidelines for safer Halloween, I have seen creative ways to celebrate Halloween across social media platforms. I have read about a drive-through trick or treat and an outdoor block movie night. I have also seen genius candy chutes! As for our family, we planned on celebrating it with a handful of friends. It is a small group of friends from my girl's school and the moms divided the fun agenda for the day (food, activities, and games). Towards the late afternoon, my husband and I planned several fun things for our girls. We will do a movie-night complete with movie tickets and a concession stand. I also wanted to do a couple of games with them.

We still purchased costumes. They can wear them all day!

And oh have you seen the Haunted Cookie House from Trader Joes? Every year we love making a gingerbread house during Christmas season, so why not a Haloween Haunted Cookie House?

If we put this year's Halloween into perspective, it will not matter even if we are not able to celebrate it the usual way. Sometimes, a different way can be good. I will not be able to come up with fun things to do with my family if a traditional Trick or treat will happen. Even if the usual activities are canceled, maybe those creative ways to spend Halloween with our family will end up to be the best memory our kids will have.
