Trick or Treat Alternative
I know that kids love trick-or-treating, but this is a fun trick-or-treat alternative.
Another great idea is to have an indoor trick-or-treat scavenger hunt as well. It is a fun way to hide Halloween candy at home while your kids use clues to find their prizes.

This is great. We do something similar but compete with our friends in a photo scavenger hunt to see who can find the specified decorations. I hadn't thought about getting candy for each one you find. Great idea!
