This Halloween promised a few spooky surprises. It falls on a blue moon and <\/em><\/strong>a Saturda<\/a>y, and while we may have been anticipating some socially distant trick-or-treating, there was yet another bombshell in store: lockdown.<\/p>\n

Even without the hunting for sweets house-to-house or festive parties, there are still plenty of ways for you and your family to celebrate the spooky season at home!<\/p>\n

    1. 1.Halloween Sweets Taste Test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Gather up all of your favourite Halloween sweets, from Swizzels to mallows, and have a night of it. Draw up a few criteria \u2013 which is the sweetest? Most colourful? Spookiest shape? Best tasting? At the end of the night, tally up the results and enjoy the fruit \u2013 er, fruit-flavourings \u2013 of your labour!<\/p>\n

        1. 2.Bob for Apples<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          A classic Halloween party game, all you need are a few apples and small tub of water. Dip and dive and see who can pluck out an apple without using their hands. Bonus for Mammy and Daddy: one less Halloween activity involving candy!<\/p>\n

              There\u2019s no reason a lack of trick-or-treating should stop you from donning your favourite Halloween attire. Dress the kids up, pop on a few Halloween movies and enjoy the best of spooky season.<\/p>\n

                  Did you know this famous Halloween tradition originated in Ireland?<\/a> Pumpkin carving is basically a national pastime, although turnips were the gourd of choice for carving in the old days! Don\u2019t forget the tealights to illuminate your creations, and save the seeds for roasting!<\/p>\n
