Halloween candy hunt
Nonwoven bag for sweets
Our first suggestion for those celebrating at home is a Halloween candy hunt. This game is a great alternative to the most popular Halloween game “trick or treat”!
Instead of playing trick or treat, organise a Halloween candy hunt! Haven’t you heard of this game yet? This Halloween game is inspired by the Easter egg hunt or egg hunt (Find out what an Easter egg hunt is and how to carry out a game for siblings without the need for competition). The Halloween candy hunt game involves collecting sweets without having to visit your neighbours – you can carry it out in your own garden or even in your flat!
How do you carry out the game? Simply hide sweets in various places and invite the children to search for them. The sweet hunt will be even more fantastic when all the participants dress up in Halloween costumes! The sweets can be collected in a bucket or a practical, lightweight bag with a decorative print. If you are wondering which candy bags to choose, check our post: Candy and candy bags for Halloween.
