Halloween is not just about costumes and treats. It is also the perfect time for hands-on fun, games and group activities. Whether you are planning a party at home or a celebration at school, finding the right activities helps bring the fun to life. Pair them with themed Halloween bags for an easy way to include take-home treats or prizes that match the mood.
If you are already organising your Halloween Lolly Bags or Showbags, why not build on the excitement by adding themed activities to match?
Turn Treats Into a Game
Kids love a good surprise, and Showbags are already full of them. You can take it one step further by incorporating your Halloween Showbags into a group activity.
Here are a few ideas to try:
- Treasure Hunt: Hide mini bags or treats around the yard and give kids clues or a treasure map to follow.
- Lucky Dip: Fill a box with wrapped treats or small toys. Let each child reach in and pull out a surprise.
- Guess That Sweet: Blindfolded, kids try to guess what kind of lolly or chocolate they have based on taste or smell.
These games work well with individually wrapped items from our confectionery collection or even extras from your chocolate showbags.
Halloween Craft and Activity Ideas
Interactive activities help balance out sugar with creativity. Here are some simple craft ideas that work well with younger children and require minimal supplies.
- Make Your Own Showbag: Provide paper bags and let kids decorate their own Halloween treat bags using stickers, crayons, and themed cutouts.
- Pumpkin Toss: Set up buckets or plastic pumpkins and give kids mini plush toys or light foam balls to toss in for a chance to win a prize.
- Spooky Story Time: Share Halloween-themed stories or let kids create their own using stickers, cutouts or mini props.
If you have extra goodies from our new arrivals section, you can even use them as craft rewards or take-home surprises.
Planning for Groups or Events
If you are hosting a Halloween event with multiple children, it is essential to keep things simple yet engaging. Here are a few planning tips:
- Set up different “stations” or tables for craft, games and snacks
- Have a helper or parent at each activity so kids know where to go
- Use colour-coded bags to organise by age group or prize level
- Mix ready-to-go Halloween bags with some custom ones for variety
Most importantly, try to keep activities short and inclusive so all kids can participate, especially younger ones.
Keep the Focus on Fun and Connection
Halloween is one of the few times each year when kids can dress up, be a little silly and enjoy something just for them. Adding interactive elements to your Halloween plans makes the experience more social and memorable.
You do not need to spend a lot. A few bags of sweets, a themed activity and a bit of imagination can create a day that kids will talk about for weeks.
