This is a good alternative to having the children gather things, especially if you live in an urban area where there may not be many things the kids can collect legally.\u00a0 Once all the teams are back to the starting point, they can compare pictures to determine the winner.\u00a0 This also allows for people to find the same thing and have a more specific list of items.\u00a0 This can be done for more than one age group, by having more obvious clues for the younger children and more difficult ones for the older kids.<\/p>\n<p>If the weather isn\u2019t nice, you can have an indoor scavenger hunt and hide things around the house.\u00a0 Some rules will need to be given such as if a door is closed, that room doesn\u2019t have any of the items in it.\u00a0 Give clues for the items they are looking for and a bag for collecting.\u00a0 Candy, apples, mini pumpkins, small toys and Halloween themed items are great for indoor scavenger hunts and lots of fun for the kids.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are you going to be this Halloween?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This year,\u00a0<a href=\"\/goto\/85\/halloweencostumes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Halloween Costumes<\/a>\u00a0has a fantastic line of new costumes featuring some of the most popular, strangest, scariest, most glamorous and comical characters of today.
