Halloween entertainment for older children
Once children reach a certain age, Halloween often loses its appeal. And it can be impossible to get them to be enthusiastic for a Halloween event. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Focusing more on the spooky side of Halloween, while keeping things age appropriate, can be a great idea for older children. Mr Stix is an award winning children’s entertainer. And he works across the North West, from Manchester to Liverpool, to deliver high quality, professional children’s entertainment. And this is our guide to Halloween entertainment for older children.
Halloween entertainment for older children
Older children will love your Halloween event. As long as you get the right balance of spooky. Activities can include:
- A creepy magic show- using illusion magic as a base for a spooky magic show can be a great way to grab the attention of the older children, and really amaze them. A good, creepy theme, will tie in the magic show to the Halloween event.
- Halloween themed party games- age appropriate party games can be the perfect way to get your audience involved in the event. Turning those sullen teens into a captivated and engaged audience. Some party games can include:
- Murder mystery- one of the guests at your event has committed a murder. And everyone at the party has to work together to uncover clues, and work out who the murderer is. This works well as an adult led activity.
- Dare to scare- each person at the party should write down a dare, and these will be put into a bowl. Children take in turns to pull out a dare, and if they can’t do it, they must take a forfeit.
- Dancing competitions- Why not put on some of their favourite music, and host a dancing contest. Winners should be awarded a prize.
