Movie Based Themes for Children’s Halloween

Pirating adventures are in demand after the movie, ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean.’ Let your child become a pirate by designing a costume similar to that in the movie. Theme a Halloween party around the movie, and then issue invitations similar to those of the 19th Century.

A sample invitation:

Attend a Halloween Pirate Party at 1122 Lansdale Road
Bring your best Pirate Costume and Attitude
Sunday, October 20th, Rain or Shine

Items Needed: Treasure Map
Name of Missing Pirates
A Knowledge of Traps and Foul Play

Once the kids have arrived, turn your home or yard into a shipwreck scene and let them find the missing pirated and treasure. Mark the trails to pirates and treasure with props, and put up decorations and danger signs. Skeletons and other Halloween markings can be used as indicators of a ‘find.’

It’s also good to use run on tattoos or face painting as a reward for found treasures or pirates as well as prizes and other goodies. Playing a Halloween movie at the end of the party completes the picture.

Sample Halloween Map:

The Secret Hiding Place of Billy Bones’ Treasure

Beware of Traps……….

Begin by following the areas marked with skeletons, to the end of the trail that is marked by a skull. Proceed to the mark of the Devil’s Head, and then dig where the X marks the spot in the earth. Unearth the treasure and return it to the table that has a witch atop it.

Using imagination can make a great Halloween theme party for your child and their friends!

Volunteer Activities for Halloween

Nashoba Valley in Massachusetts is home to the infamous ‘Castle Morbid.’ If you like acting, want to be involved with a local attraction, and love frights, this is definitely for you. All you need is to love Halloween and have the ’spirit’ to really get into the fun here.

Always looking for volunteers, this happy little attraction will let you be a monster, a vampire, a zombie, a mad scientist, a werewolf, or any other ghoul you like. They also like those that seek to interact with the public and the place by organizing affairs and shows. You can also build and design sets, and they welcome new ideas so bring yours too!

Haunts usually build props so handymen are welcomed. You can then watch your creations come to life and you can also take part in the marketing and design of the brochures if you’d rather push a pencil than a rake.

You can be a community volunteer by actually being a tour guide also if you have people skills. And don’t forget there are more places like this for you to choose from. Check your local listings and be a participant wherever you like. The more the merrier on Halloween!
