2020 Halloween ideas for this year!

2020 Halloween ideas for this year!

Consider alternatives to trick or treating

To reduce your risk of becoming exposed to someone with COVID-19 and getting sick, the following activities can be safe alternatives:

• Throw a Halloween party with your household members: Decorate your home. Have a Halloween movie night.

Create a scavenger hunt-style trick-ortreat search with your household members in or around your home, rather than going home to home.

• Celebrate with friends through a virtual Halloween party or contest:

Have a virtual Halloween costume contest. Carve and decorate pumpkins.

• Participate in car parades where individuals remain in their vehicles:

Include socially distant judging for a costume contest.

Decorate your car with a Halloween theme.

If you plan to participate in trick-or-treating activities

• Trick or treat with members of your household only.

• Limit the number of houses you visit.

• Ask children to stay as far away from the treat-givers as possible.

• Have an adult hold the candy/bag for smaller children.

• Only allow children to eat treats that come in their original wrapper.

• Talk to your neighbors about ways to enjoy Halloween safely, including creative ways to distribute treats like hanging candy from a wall or fence for children to take.

• Do not use a costume mask in place of a face mask.
