Fun Halloween Activities for Families at Home
Updated by Jaime Netzer
Halloween is the perfect time to lean into all things spooky and festive—even if you’re celebrating closer to home this year. From carving pumpkins to sharing ghost stories, there are plenty of ways to make the season feel magical for the whole family.
Visit the Pumpkin Patch
Head to your local pumpkin patch for a classic fall tradition. After choosing the perfect pumpkin, bring it home for an afternoon of carving or decorating. Get creative with paints, stencils, or glitter to give your jack-o’-lantern a unique twist.
Plan a Spooky Scavenger Hunt
Create a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt in your backyard or around the house. Hide candy, glow-in-the-dark trinkets, or DIY prizes, then let the kids follow a set of spooky clues. It’s a fun way to keep the spirit of trick-or-treating alive.
Host a Backyard Campfire
Bundle up and gather around a backyard fire pit for an evening of ghost stories, roasted marshmallows, and hot apple cider. You can even host a contest for the scariest (or silliest) story of the night and award homemade prizes made with craft supplies like stickers, pipe cleaners, or play dough.
DIY Halloween Crafts
From googly-eyed monsters to toilet-paper mummies, crafts are an easy way to fill an afternoon with creativity. Stock up on simple supplies and let everyone’s imagination run wild. Bonus: these creations can double as Halloween décor.

The puzzles were a mix of easy and more complex which kept it from getting too boring or too frustrating. It was fun and challenging. Also liked the convenience of 3 chapters so it could be broken up if needed.
