Halloween Activities for Seniors

With Halloween approaching, wouldn’t it be fun to enjoy this holiday with your friends and relatives by having a Halloween party at your home or at a retirement facility? Obviously, you should practice the social distancing and wear masks to prevent the coronavirus or flu during these activities. Here are five ideas to consider for your Halloween party:

1. Homemade costume contest: As with most Halloween parties, have your senior friends or relatives dress up in different costumes. You can even hand out a prize for the best costume.
2. Classic horror movies: Your friends or relatives probably have some favorite old classic scary Halloween movies. You can give them the option to watch them or vote for the best one on Halloween!
3. Halloween charades: Seniors can have fun watching each other act out their Halloween fantasies such as Dracula or Casper the Ghost! Another great prize idea for the best charade.
4. Share scary stories: Your friends or relatives probably know some good stories, but you can refer to a favorite spooky book, movie, or some scary stories from the Internet. You can even vote and give a prize for the best story!
5. And saving the best for last! Getting dressed up and doing trick-or-treating in your neighborhood or retirement facility. Whether you’re handing out treats or visiting your neighbors in a costume, seniors can make Halloween a fun event!
Let’s face it. Halloween is still a fun holiday that all ages can participate in!
