Halloween Decoration Ideas – Give Your Home the Halloween Touch!
Halloween story says that on night of October 31, Celts celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that ghosts of dead returned to earth. To beat the drum of this event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires where people gathered to burn animals and crops as sacrifices to Celtic deities. Sounds very horrific. But Halloween today is celebrated as a fun holiday. A holiday that provides opportunity to be someone else.
Halloween is a great time to have fun with kids, family and friends. Every year, people start planning months ahead for Halloween decoration, Halloween shopping, Halloween costumes and Halloween parties. Choosing a Halloween costume is always a daunting task as there are various options to choose from. But Halloween decorations can be even harder than that!
One can go for decorating home, office space, car, dorm room just about anywhere. You can find huge range of Halloween themed door bells, wall clocks, candle holders, door knockers and table displays at many online and in-stores. List for Halloween decoration items is long and endless! Some things can be bought from stores and some are handcrafts that can be made at home. Setting mood for Halloween has never been so fun!
Here are few ideas to help get started on decorating for Halloween:
Halloween Decoration for Living Room:
Decorate main rooms with Jack-o-lanterns made from anything such as pumpkins, apples, squashes and cucumbers etc. Hang them somewhere in room or place on tables, door and windows, stands and mantles. Use autumn leaves, green branches, and ears of corn, tomatoes, and apples and drape room with red and yellow scrim & cheese cloth. Have fire going in fireplace.
Halloween Decoration for Home Entrance:
Entrance way should be in total darkness except light coming from Jack-o-lanterns on tables or hangings on doors & ceilings. Entrance should be draped in black and spooky way. One can create spider web near entrance and decorate it with artificial spiders. Spooky candles can be placed at the door entrance for a dramatic look.
Halloween Decoration for Outdoors:
The lawn in front of house should be decorated with lighted Jack-o-lanterns each with different eyes, mouth, and nose. These lanterns should be as weird as possible. Drape black Jack-o’-lantern above front door and hang skull and crossbones in center over the door. Many spooky Halloween garden decor items are available at stores like Sears, Target, Halloween Mart and Wrapables.
Everything has changed in 100 years, but that essence of great Halloween decorating has remained almost same as in olden times… Have fun on Halloween nights dressed in Halloween costumes!!
Sears coupons, Target coupons and Halloween Mart coupons will help you save additional money while placing an online order for various Halloween decorative items.

With more and more Halloween celebrations taking place in the classroom, at home parties, or at community events, here are some cross-curricular Halloween activities for you to enjoy.
1. Read a Halloween poem or song and find rhyming words, similes, metaphors, nouns, verbs, onomatopoeia, and so on.
2. Find Halloween-related words in the dictionary by using guide words. Divide them into syllables, write the accent mark, tell the part of speech, give the definition, add suffixes…whatever skills you want to review.
3. Research the origin of Halloween and its symbols. Write a report and include a bibliography.
4. Brainstorm a list of Halloween words and create your own crossword, kriss-kross, or word search puzzles.
5. Write a Halloween story or a short play. Perform the play and tape it!
6. Tape the class singing Halloween songs and play them on October 31.
7. See how many 3-letter words you can make out of ‘Halloween.’
8. Cut out Halloween pictures from different print media to make cards or a collage.
9. Give everyone some colored M&M’s and have children graph them. Alternately, have children classify the candy they bring to school and graph the different kinds. Possible categories are chocolatey, nutty, soft, and hard.
10. Look through newspaper ads and see what you would buy if you had $20. If your children are old enough, have them calculate the tax for your area.
11. Review following directions, measurement, health, and safety by making Halloween cupcakes, a cake, or cookies. Use Halloween-related cutters, food coloring for frosting, and small candies as decorations. Of course, adults should supervise children.
12. Use a pumpkin for the following activities:
a. Cut out the stem, take out the seeds, and carve out the pulp (refrigerate it). Have children draw a face for a jack-o-lantern and cut it out.
b. Roast the pumpkin seeds and have store-bought seeds on hand. Let children eat both and compare the taste, texture, and color.
c. Heat the pulp until it is soft and use it to make your own pumpkin pie! (NOTE: One recipe usually makes three regular pies.) Make sure to save pieces for the principal and others in your school. Tell children to remember the taste so they can compare it to a store-bought pumpkin pie.
d. Make sure to take pictures of each step. Have children write a caption for each one and make a book.
13. Foster multi-cultural awareness by having candies from different countries.
I hope these ideas are useful and inspire your own creative thinking. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
And remember…Reading is FUNdamental!

Scare up your Halloween family fun with some scary and thrilling games. Read this tips to find out the most thrilling and scary games which is suitable for all ages.
“Nosey” or “Nose Game” is another good family game which always provides a lot of fun for everybody parents and children alike. It is a favorite at family parties.
After this teasing game and the well-known, hilarious “Costume Race”, it is well to give your guests a breathing spell. Ask the youngsters to sit on the floor while you tell them a Halloween story. Assign to each youngster a character which appears in the story. Whenever one’s character is mentioned in the story, he makes the sounds assigned to him. The storyteller should pause a moment after a character is mentioned in the story. You’ll probably have more guests than characters in the story but two or more can be assigned to the same character. It doesn’t lessen the fun a bit.
The “Cat Game” will give your guests a real thrill. It’s a must at our family parties on Halloween night. All lights are dimmed. Big and little guests sit on the floor in a circle, a sheet spread in the center. Each one takes hold of the sheet with his left hand and keeps his right hand free under the sheet. The hostess appears holding a tray covered with a napkin and says in a solemn voice:
“This evening when the Halloween cat was on the way to our party it was run over. His remains will now be passed around under the sheet. This is the cat’s eye just pass it to your neighbor and so on around the circle under the sheet.” The hostess reaches under the sheet to hand the first person an icy oyster, to be followed by the head a ball of yarn filled with hairpins; tail a coon tail from a child’s cap; teeth a string of large beads, chilled; hide a brushed wool helmet; tongue a very cold watermelon pickle; insides a bunch of soft dough, well floured. The shrieks accompanying this game are hairs rising.
The refreshments can be as simple or as elaborate as you want but after an evening of hilarity, apple cider and pumpkin pie are easy to serve and popular.
By all means give a family Halloween party. It’s such a good chance to have fun with your children and your neighbors and their children. It also provides a constructive way for young America to celebrate that American tradition of Halloween merrymaking.
Costume Race, Nose Game, Cat Game are all always top in fun in Halloween party. Every body enjoys this game. It can be play by anyone, no matter how old they are. It is also important to serve some popular and easy to eat food.
