Free Ways to Level Up the Night
- Make the walk part of the fun. Map a route past the best-decorated houses and let the kids be navigators.
- Costume parade at home. A hallway runway show before you leave burns off the pre-candy jitters and makes for great video.
- Trade-up game. After trick-or-treating, let kids swap candy like trading cards — suddenly the haul lasts longer and tastes better.
- Porch camp. Hand out candy together with hot cider and a speaker playing spooky sounds. Being the fun house is free.
