Trick-or-treating time is almost upon us—and in your efforts to make this year’s celebration the most epic one yet, don’t stop at ringing doorbells for candy. There are plenty of other ways to commemorate All Hallows’ Eve, from visiting pumpkin patches to apple picking and of course, going to haunted houses.
For families who’d rather keep things low-key, there’s plenty to do too—including getting all gussied up for the spooky occasion. You can get crafty by creating your own family costumes (hey, we love a good Insta opp) or making a ghost garland. If you want a more active night, try a game of Halloween charades, mummy racing or playing in a Halloween-themed obstacle course of your own making. (Psst: We’ve got all the Halloween games you need here.) Whatever you’re in the mood for and however old your children are, check out this list of 53 Halloween activities for kids for all your spooky season inspiration.
