Baton Rouge Parents Magazine—October 2024

several YouTube tutorials available to teach you the dance, step by step. Ask your guests to come dressed as zombies, complete with makeup. When your friends have memorized the dance steps, don’t forget to make a fun video to share on social media. FAVORITE THINGS WITH A HALLOWEEN THEME Spend a night enjoying your favorite things with your favorite people. Ask everyone to bring three of their favorite Halloween items (with a dollar limit) in gift bags. All the bags will be displayed, and guests get to choose three different bags of someone else’s favorite things. You can extend the party with guests bringing their favorite appetizer or dessert and include a recipe card to go with it. HAVE A MURDER MYSTERY SLEEPOVER Invite your guests to your castle, mansion, hotel, or any other haunted theme setting for your Murder Mystery to take place. Assign your guests to come dressed in character and let them decide whodunit. Other scary game ideas include Fear Factor, daring your guests to put their hands in a jar full of worms to find a penny or eating pureed peas with maggots (rice). If you are not that creative (or brave) you can play Pick Your Poison, a card game like Would You Rather? We all have seasonal decorations that we grow tired of and stop using. Instead of throwing them out, why not have an exchange with your friends? You can wrap them, give out numbers, and let the players choose in numeric order. This allows other players to choose something still wrapped or steal something already chosen. No need to limit this swap to just decorations– include costumes, kids’ clothes, tableware, etc. HALLOWEEN DÉCOR SWAP
