Have a spooktacular Halloween

Unfortunately, many Halloween traditions are not possible this year due to coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.

However, there are plenty of fun and creative ways to celebrate Halloween safely and help save lives by preventing the spread of coronavirus.

Why not try these at home:

  • virtual online party – have a Halloween quiz or costume competition
  • get creative,  print out our colouring sheets and poster and decorate them with pens and pencils – you could use them as objects in the scary scavenger trail
  • scary scavenger trail – hide clues or Halloween objects around the house or garden
  • pumpkin carving competition – host a competition in your household, or virtually, for the best carved pumpkin
  • make Halloween treats at home – decorate a pizza to look like a jack ‘o’ lantern, ghosts or spiders
  • film night – watch a Halloween-themed film with your household
