Fun Halloween Activities For All Ages
One of the great thing about Halloween is that you don't have to be a certain age in order to enjoy it. You can never be too young or too old. You're also rarely under any social gift-giving obligations that are connected to holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day. Halloween is a time when you can really let your silly side out safely in society. This means that there are tons of fun Halloween activities for all ages.
Trick Or Treat
Despite scares of some evil pranksters in the late 1980's spiking Halloween give outs, trick or treating is still the most fun Halloween activity for everyone - whether giving the candy away or those receiving the candy. Kids think they have it easy for this fun Halloween activity - they dress up, get a pillowcase or some other sack and go trick or treating.
But many adults who give the candy away make those kids work for their candy. This is the fun part. They make their homes spooky with strobe lights, sudden blaring noises, distorting cobwebs and spooky costumes. Usually the adult neighbors have to come check it out. This is one time where you can get to socially scare your neighbors.
Dressing Up
Another one of the most fun Halloween activities is just the act of getting into costume. Some employers will allow employees to wear costumes to work (as long as it doesn't interfere with their mobility or vision). Some will let you wear a discrete costume or even just a mask, black lipstick and silly pin. This is a great way to get to know your co-workers better and have at least one fun day at work a year.
Some restaurants, bars and clubs will also offer discounts if you come dressed in costume on Halloween night. Check it out to make sure first. Some will not offer a discount, but will allow you to dine or dance in full regalia. It's fun for you and for the employees at the club or restaurant. It's away to safely show a hidden side to your personality.
Haunted Tours
More and more, haunted houses or haunted tours are being offered in big and small cities alike. This is a safe and fun Halloween activity, since you are among other people and not alone with any strangers in strange garb. Haunted houses sometimes spring up in aid of charities in October. They are usually manned by college kids to aid the charity being benefited.
