Halloween Problem?

Question

What is a good age to stop trick or treating?

Also, whats some fun stuff to do at a halloween party?

Answer 1

i stopped at about 15, when i started going to halloween parties.
The best part of Halloween parties is getting dressed up!
a good party idea:
bobbing for goldfish (its like bobbing for apples, but with more gross factor)!

Answer 2

I'd say 10 or 11 is when you should stop trick-or-treating. Halloween party ideas? How about a costume fashion show? Also, a cool thing to do might be to dress up (no matter how old you are) and go trick-or-treating and then donate the candy to less fortunate kids. The people who give you the candy will probably give you more if you tell them you're trick-or-treating for kids who aren't able to.

Answer 3

You can continue to trick or treat at all ages, as long as you are respectful, say thank you and wear costumes. However, be conscious of little kids and let them go first. Also, some people become afraid of a bunch of teenagers and older people knocking on their doors at night, so maybe just trick or treat people you know.

Fun stuff for a party -- Hay ride, bonfire with roasting hotdogs and marshmallows - ghost stories. How about making a haunted yard with your friends for little kids to go through. That is fun!

Answer 4

i stopped when i was 11 years old and i say thats a good age. even though i did miss dressing up :[.

hmm whatch a scary movie, eat some sort of halloween treat, eat candy, talk, play some halloween type games, stuff like that.

Answer 5

for trick or treating, probably 12 or 13. For having a party or celebrating it, you're never too old!

Answer 6

Well it is hard to get candy from people when you look 20, but I still do it with my son.

As for halloween, try making bowls of disgusting feeling things, and hide them and make people put their hands it them to try and figure out what they actually are, saying that they are brains or worms.

Answer 7

Here, our community stops it at age 14.
Blind fold the victim and let them reach in a bowl and touch eyeballs, and worms, really spagetti and grapes, there are others, check out this site for a discusion.

Answer 8

i would say about 13-14 or when you lose interest in it. My son went last when he was 14 and my daughter will be 12 this year and she is still going.

Party ideas.. a costume party... creepy foods, like dirt cake, witches brew..

Answer 9

no age I'm 100 and will go trick or treating

Answer 10

Kids should stop trick-or-treating at age 13 or 14. I don't think older kids should be going around door-to-door and getting candy. Littler kids should get the candy. Some teens take advantage of giving away candy. They go around and sometimes will take candy away from little kids. but i think i will go rick-or-treating and i'm 26 lol
Costume Dance Party:
This is tons of fun for all ages! It gets the crowd up and partying. All you have to do is select some songs in advance. It may help if you put them all on one tape before the party. If you have a dancer in the house ask him/her if they would like to lead the group. Some suggestions are "The Electric slide", "The Time Warp", "The Hokey Pokey", "The Chicken dance", "The Macharena". You can also just have the guests dance to songs like "The Monster Mash", "Thriller", "Season of the witch", "Burning down the house","Physchotic Reaction", "Bad Moon Rising", "Werewolves of London" or any other scary song you can find.
Bobbing for Apples:
A traditional Halloween game you can never grow to old for! Put apples in a clean large wash tub or container filled with water. The object of this game is to grab one of the apples and remove it from the water without using your hands, you must use only your mouth. That's all you need and the fun begins. It's a lot of fun to watch your friends do this. This is a very wet, and very fun game so you may want to consider doing this outside or keep a mop handy.
The indoor, dryer and more sanitary version of this game is to tie the apples to strings that are suspended from the ceiling. This way your guests will not get wet or have their makeup wash off.

If you dislike getting your face wet try this version of apple dunking. Take a small bucket with water in it and float full size marshmellows in it. Then each person is given a straw. (Shorter straws are easier to use) Then have a contest to see who can get the marshmellow picked up in the shortest amount of time. You are allowed to eat the marshmellow when you capture it.
Pumpkin Questions:
"PUMPKIN Questions" Is an all time favorite party game. One person stands in front of the crowd and tries not to smile while the group takes turns asking questions. The catch is that the person must answer every question by saying "Pumpkin." It's a riot and very difficult to keep a straight face. We've had some great questions ranging everywhere from "What's that between your eyes and lips?" or "What do you think your boyfriends head looks like?" Whats your favorite gift to find under a Christmas tree" "What's that under your hat?" Well, you get the idea? If the person laughs they loose their turn and someone else stands in front. You can use other halloween words too.
Halloween Caroling:
Similar to Christmas caroling but lots more fun! Be sure to visit the "Halloweeen music" section on this web site for lyrics to halloween songs. As you go door to door Trick-or-Treating you could sing at each house. Or, you could take a group of people in costumes and go visit a children's ward or nursing home. Maybe you know a realative or friend that is sick and can't get out for Haloween, this would cheer them up. You must check with nurses or administrators ahead of time. Than just sing out and have fun! Everyone will be thrilled to see your costumes and hear you sing. Belive me the folks that can't get out will be thrilled that you remembered them. For an extra treat you could pass out small trick-or-treat bags which you may have bought or decorated ahead of time. In the bags you could put left over Halloweeen candy for kids or different kinds of treats like crayons, stickers, games, puzzles, balloons. Or staionary & health supplies for the elderly in nursing homes. This is a lot of fun, but also brings joy in to others lives!
Pass the Pumpkin:
Pass The Pumpkin: Pass a small pumpkin with the stem removed, about 3 or 4 inches wide, without using your hands. Start with the pumpkin tucked under someone's chin. The player with the small pumpkin now has to pass it to another persons chin without dropping it. This is a hoot to watch.
Pumpkin Ring Toss:
Object of Game: To toss a ring around a pumpkin.

1. Decorate about five small pumpkins.
2. Buy or make three or four rings slightly bigger around than the pumpkins.
3. You can use coat hangers to make the rings and tape with duct tape.

Playing the Game:

1.Measure back about 10 feet, less-depending on age group.
2.Give three rings to each player when it his their turn.
3.A piece of candy is awarded for ringing the pumpkin.
Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin:
Regular party games can be given a Halloween twist by changing the name. Younger kids (and oddly enough older ones) enjoy playing Pin the Nose On The Pumpkin. In pin the nose on the pumpkin, you need a paper pumpkin and paper triangular nose and then you put a blind fold on the persom who is too pin the nose. Before starting spin the person 5 times.

Halloween Candy Dash:
This is a somewhat like the old "Easter egg" hunt except you hide Halloween candies all over your party area. You can also hide small pumpkins you've cut out of cardboard. Each pumpkin has a number on it. Give a prize for the person who finds the most goodies and numbers, but then draw numbers from a "skull". Whoever has that number gets to come pick a prize from the box that will hold the prizes
Keep The Pumpkin Moving:
A veriation of "Keep The Balloon Moving": For younger kids. Use an orange balloon with a pumpkin face drawn on it. You can't use your hands only keep the balloon moving by blowng on it, and guests always like playing it. Have plenty of balloons on hand. You can even use some of your balloon decorations if you have them.
