Halloween Party Ideas For Children
By:

For many years now, children have
followed the tradition of
trick
or
treating whenever Halloween night comes up.
That is, they go from house to house in the scariest or cutest
costumes they can think of and ask for candy from their
neighbors to put into their
jack
o
lantern of goodies. Every year, children look
forward to this event.
Times have evolved since, and while trick or treating has not
escaped the vocabulary of today’s children, fewer and fewer of
them are going out on the streets to ask for candy the old way.
Also, because of the risky times, parents are now opting to hold
Halloween
parties, instead, so they can keep a closer
watch on their children.
Halloween parties are just like any other parties, only that the
kids are in scary costumes and the food is served in an equally
scary way. In short, a Halloween party is a themed party - and
everyone is required to be in the freakiest best. Trick or
treating is not passé just yet, but it might just as well be in
the near future because of the rise of children’s Halloween
parties.
Of course, as with any other children’s party, children’s
Halloween parties will not be complete without the fun
entertainment and games. You can modify traditional party games
and rename them to sound scary and you already have fun games
for your Halloween party.
For instance, the Bean Bag Toss can be modified to use liver
(use beef liver that is thawed and washed thoroughly because it
is easier to handle) and you can name it Liver Toss. Just turn a
simple mixing bowl into a ’witch’s cauldron’ and accompany with
scary background music to get that dark feel.
Another cool children’s Halloween party game idea is the Treats
’N Guts game. Place sweets and little toys inside a Ziploc bag
and bury under a pile of spaghetti (or guts). Have the kids dig
for the prizes with the lights turned off. You’ll all have a
blast laughing at each other when the lights are turned on once
again.
One interesting way to serve food at your child’s Halloween
party is to decorate and rename name to resemble dead-like
objects. For example, you can mold cookies and little cupcakes
to look like bloody eyeballs (all you need is some food
coloring), or you can give traditional party treats like
spaghetti and meatballs a new name, like "guts and intestines".
Children are not usually squeamish with names and will even find
your food offerings extra interesting if you give them unusual
names.
In sum, all you need to pull off a successful children’s
Halloween party is a lot of creativity and ingenuity. Consult
your child for probable game and food names so he or she will
feel that he or she has a big contribution to the event. Of
course, don’t forget to tell your guests to come in costumes.
Have fun!
