Activities to Get in the Halloween Spirit
Halloween is more than just trick-or-treating; there are lots of activities you can do to get in the spooky spirit.
1. Carve or paint pumpkins
Carving pumpkins is a tradition many families have when Halloween comes around. Going to the pumpkin patch, picking out your favorite pumpkin, and going home to carve it is a great way to kick off spooky season!
To get everyone in the Halloween spirit of carving and decorating pumpkins, make it a friendly competition with the person having the best carved, decorated, and scary pumpkin winning a prize.
2. Decorate your apartment
Don’t wait until it’s a few days before Halloween to start decorating your apartment. Let the decorating begin before the big spooky celebration. This gives you ample time to spice things up and get in the Halloween spirit!
Here are some trendy ideas to decorate your apartment
- Make your own mummy by mummifying some of your home objects
- Go for the spooky spider decorations. Hang spiders and cobwebs in various areas of your apartment
- Decorate pumpkins and place them in and around your apartment
