There are those mysteries like “who used all the toilet paper and didn’t put a new roll out?” And then some conundrums pull you in and grasp your imagination, leading to mysterious and fantastical adventures! Happy to report, the Emmy-Award winning kids show Ghostwriter is the latter. Ghostwriter is a series for kids ages 6-11, exclusively on Apple TV+, that opens a whole new world of whimsy and inspires kids to get in touch with their creative side.

Ghostwriter is back on AppleTV+ for a second season!

The Ghostwriter series follows four everyday friends who discover an anything-but-ordinary character: Ghostwriter, a mysterious ghost who makes great literature jump off of the page—literally. Ghostwriter brings the actual characters from well-known books into the real world, where they’re only visible to the group of friends! 

Once released, the pages where the characters lived appear blank, and it’s up to our four heroes to figure out how to put them back where they belong. While the literary characters are only visible to our four heroes, the damage they cause (like the Mad Hatter from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland setting up a tea party at school) can be seen by everyone. 

As the kids try to solve the mystery of Ghostwriter, they learn more about themselves, and about other people, worlds and emotions through the books they read. Ghostwriter combines elements of mystery, fantasy, humor and heart to take kids on a quest unlike any they’ve experienced before—and creates a love for reading and storytelling!

When your kiddo is a super fan, they can even read along with the books from the series!

Spoiler Alert: Your kids are going to love this show, and parents, you just may become a big fan yourself—it’s that good. 

Watch Ghostwriter on the Apple TV app. Find the Apple TV app everywhere, from Apple devices to smart TVs, or watch online at tv.apple.com.*

Halloween may look different this year but kids still want to have fun. The Roblox community is here to help. The popular gaming platform is offering a way to have some trick-or-treating fun with a new Halloween Game Sort that includes Halloween specials and a great selection of spooky Halloween-themed games for players of all ages. 

Halloween Roblox

The top Roblox games like Ghost Simulator, Field Trip Z, Roblox High School 2, and ZombieRush include a variety of Halloween-themed challenges and twists. For example, in ZombieRush players can earn a special badge for eliminating pumpkin-headed zombies, which also helps them earn an exclusive new weapon, or maybe they’d rather hop into Ghost Hunt to get some special awards in exchange for captured ghosts.

In addition, iD Tech, one of Roblox’s preeminent education partners and leaders in youth STEM education, is hosting a Halloween Block Party Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 on the Roblox platform. In their exclusive game created for the party (going live Mon., Oct. 26th) players between the age of 7-17 can participate in virtual trick or treating challenges and explore Halloween activities including a corn maze, hayride, and haunted house.

14 Wicked Cool Alternatives to Trick-or-Treating 

24 Frightfully Fun Halloween Games They’ll Talk About All Year

 

Photo: Jocelyn Greene via Child's Play NY

Like it or not, virtual Halloween parties are where we are in October 2020. While remote activities for kids can get a bad rep, I’m here to say that, when done well, they can bring joy, safe social stimulation, and lots of pleasure for kids. Happily, there’s no shortage of awesome party games that work well over Zoom. When you throw in the excitement of Halloween itself, add a candy treat, and don a costume…then the normally fun games will be even more special. 

“Let the Wardrobe Do the Acting”
When working on Batman, Jack Nicholson famously counseled Michael Keaton to “Just let the wardrobe do the acting.” Great actors have a long and storied tradition of working from the “outside-in” to make their most memorable characters.

Just like actors, kids can use costumes to boost their bravery, access their dramatic imagination, and find their character. Costumes this year (or really any year!) don’t have to be fancy or store-bought. Cat ears and face paint (i.e. your eye-liner!) work great. Similarly, repurposing a favorite outfit from the dress-up drawer or your own closet is perfect. 

With a costumed character as a focal point, kids can find:

  • Sounds: accents, yowls, and maybe even a catchphrase
  • Moves: how they walk, dance and a great defining gesture that can be mirrored back to them. 

Use Virtual Backgrounds
Get into the spirit by projecting a cool Halloween image behind you! For most kids in remote school, virtual backgrounds are a no-no. All the more reason when it is a “party” to let them use ‘em.  

As a theater director, I love that we can use virtual backgrounds. It is like an instant “set.” Kids can feel transported to a haunted house or a spooky pumpkin patch. Look for actual photographs rather than illustrations to make the experience even more realistic. Parents can download them before the party.

Start with Ice-breakers
A simple activity for kids to play together or engage in is the way to start. Here are some ideas for intro activities to get the party going and mitigate the awkwardness of kids joining the Zoom call at different times. Don’t just expect your guests to make small talk!

Halloween Jokes/Riddles for Kids: Q: Why didn’t the skeleton go to school? A: His heart wasn’t in it!

Tongue Twisters: “Which witch wished the wicked wish?”

Spot the Difference: Screen-share the image and unmute kids one at a time and ask them to spot a difference. 

Get Physical

  • A Dance Party with Freeze Dance (call out different Halloween-inspired emotions, even better!)
  • Play “Grab & Go”: Ask the kids to scavenge different “ingredients” in their house: Something shiny, something yummy, something sticky. This helps break-up the screentime, grounds kids in the “real world” and gets them moving

Give the Kids on a Mission
Tap into kids’ primal desire to be heroes. You can set up an easy mission in the party with challenges at each step. Base it off what your child loves the most. Here are some examples: 

  • Help the Witch come up with a delicious potion: Play “Grab & Go” to give her the ingredients she needs, combine the ingredients into a magic stew

  • Rescue a ghost trapped in a tower (play elevator to different “rooms” in a haunted house until you reach the ghost. 

  • Solve riddles to decide how to get to a trapped goblin and teach him good manners when you get there. 

  • Go on a “ghost hunt”  (it’s just like a bear hunt). Use the structure of the rhyme with little kids to scaffold the play and help decide where they should go next and what it should sound like. This can all be played in front of the computer, and you can spotlight your video with several different backgrounds at the ready depending on your next location. 

Tips for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt over Zoom

  • Hide candy in the house and use clues to go on a scavenger hunt. While you’ll need other parents to collude with you on this, it is well worth it.  

  • Pick three spots universal to all your guests’ houses and co-ordinate with the parents to put a treat at each spot. 

  • Screenshare the clues one at a time and decide together where the candy must be at each step. “It’s the bathroom sink!”  “On the welcome mat!”  “Oh! Under my pillow!” 

  • Make sure each kid has found the candy before moving on to the next clue.  

  • Watch this to learn more about how simple and fun the clues can be.

Tell a Ghost Story 
Take turns making up a ghost story or Halloween adventure using Story Clap. Use transition words or even the words “Fortunately” or “Unfortunately” to steer the direction of the tale. Post up a campfire virtual background and say “pass the flashlight” when it is the next person’s turn to add on. End by recapping the story or have an adult wrap up the action so it is a cohesive adventure!

Read a Story
A super great activity—especially if the playing has been really robust and physical, is to chill out with a good book all together. I love these diverse Halloween books from Here Wee Read. You can screen share from Epic and then kids can hear you reading while at the same time seeing the pictures on their device. You can also let the story inspire another adventure or activity. 

End with a Sweet (Trick or) Treat
You are gonna want to end on a “sweet” note. It is satisfying and very Halloween-y, of course. Patronize your local bakery or bake something ahead of time.

Move over tacos, there’s a new spicy food in town. A donut is now heating up the charts to reach the peak of spicy superiority. Dunkin’ has baked up one of the most surprising treats ever to rise from its kitchens, the new Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut.

Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut

A deliciously daring donut that delivers the heat with every bite, the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut is a classic yeast donut ring, topped with a strawberry flavored icing that features a bold blend of cayenne and ghost pepper, and finished with red sanding sugar for a sizzling look. The Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut will be on the menu for only a few hot minutes, available beginning today for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide until December.

As the hottest choice to help unveil Dunkin’s new sweet and spicy donut variety, who better than the expert in hot foods, and host of Complex Networks’ hit First We Feast series Hot Ones, Sean Evans? In a special episode debuting on Oct. 19, for the first time in Hot Ones history Sean will be in the hotseat, challenging himself to answer hard-hitting questions while trying Dunkin’s new Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut, complemented by a variety of hot sauces ranging from sweet to scalding from the show’s famous arsenal.

America can enjoy Dunkin’s #SpicySide on Twitter this month as well, with brand posts demonstrating a decidedly fiery attitude with hot takes and even a burn or two. Dunkin’ is also encouraging fans to show their own spicy side by surprising their friends with the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut and capturing and posting the reactions on social media using #DunkinSpicySide.

“Halloween looks a little different this year, and so do our donuts. While our classic bakery offering has plenty of crave-worthy treats, we’re excited to show our spicy side with a donut that packs a touch of heat with something sweet and can be enjoyed any time of day,” according to Jill Nelson, Vice President, Marketing Strategy at Dunkin’. “With our scary-good lineup of the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut, Halloween DIY Dunkin’ Donut Decorating Kits and fan-favorite Spider Donut, Dunkin’ is here to help our guests keep their Halloween spirit alive this season.”

Halloween DIY kits

Create a new Halloween tradition with Dunkin’. Halloween DIY Dunkin’ Donut Decorating Kits will feature plain yeast or Old Fashioned cake donuts, with pre-packaged icing in orange, white, and black varieties, and three sprinkle blends. The Halloween DIY Dunkin’ Donut Decorating Kits are available for purchase in two sizes, small (4-count donuts) and large (9-count donuts).

Spider Donut

Also, the creepy-crawly Spider Donut is back on Dunkin’ menus. This frightfully delicious Spider Donut features a classic ring donut with orange icing, topped with a glazed chocolate MUNCHKINS donut hole treat, chocolate drizzle for the spider legs, and white icing for the eyes to create the sweet eight-legged donut creature.

This year’s Halloween lineup will haunt participating Dunkin’ restaurants for a limited time only, while supplies last.

Either way, an Evidence card is revealed and players move one step closer to cracking the case. When a player is ready to make an accusation, they secretly look at the cards placed inside the case file envelope to reveal “Who, What, and Where.” A correct accusation wins the game!

Because the images are so distinct, reading is not necessary to be able to play the game. For 3-7 players, so perfect for an easy Halloween party activity. Includes a “monster box” that you build to pull the calling cards out of.

Ghost Story Dice

Want to get a little literate with your gaming? Try out these Ghost Story Dice, a perfect family game for any dark and stormy night. Just roll the dice to determine your story: you’ll see story elements like characters (vampires, headless horseman) settings (long dark coordinator) and special powers (invisibility). Once you’ve got your dice, you can draw or write your masterpiece. Each player can do their own, or each family member can contribute to the greater story. Recommended for ages 3 and up because of the choking hazard of the dice, but we think toddlers can get in on this game with supervision. This is also a great travel game because the dice will fit easily in a Ziplock baggie.

From candy to costumes, there’s a lot to love about Halloween. But with ghosts, goblins and even some (fake) gore, it can be a pretty scary night for toddlers. If you’re planning on skipping trick-or-treating this year or you just want to add some more age-appropriate fun to your Halloween weekend, here are 8 ways to scare it up on Oct. 31st—without the fright. These games can be played indoors or out, and during the day or evening for maximum flexibility with your schedule.

photo: Freestocks.org via Pexels

1. There’s a Pumpkin Hiding in the Patch

Play hide-and-seek with pumpkins, ghosts, cats and bats. Print out these free Halloween templates, cut them out, and then hide them around your home or yard for a toddler-friendly Halloween hunt.

2. Pumpkin Hunt

Forget Easter baskets; this “egg hunt” lets little ones fill up their trick-or-treating bag without going door to door. Grab these pint-sized pumpkins and fill them with Halloween candy and tiny toys. Hide them indoors or out, depending on the weather.

3. Glow-in-the-Dark Ring Toss

You don’t have to wait for nightfall for this activity. Grab some glow-in-the-dark necklaces, turn off the lights and fling these rings for some spooky fun. Aim at the stem of a pumpkin, the point of a witch’s hat or the tops of milk jugs (painted with a ghost face, of course). You don’t have to ring a pumpkin to win the game; the player whose rings are closest to the target wins!

4. Let It Rain…Candy

Sweets take center stage on All Hallows’ Eve, so take it up a notch (literally) by hanging a ghost or goblin piñata and let the sugar pour down! Use a trick-or-treat bag to store the loot or go old school and let the kids scoop the treats into a pillowcase.

5. Pumpkin Putt-Putt

Turn your backyard or basement into a miniature golf course with this great idea from Dollar Tree. Carvable craft pumpkins, the styrofoam kind that make carving pumpkins easy and mess free, make great props for toddler-friendly games. Carve an oversize mouth for kids to knock their golf ball into. Hole-in-one!

6. Put the Boo in Boo-wling

Spook up a spare with a game of pumpkin bowling. Make the “pins” easy for little ones to knock down by sticking ghostly grins (we love this printable) onto empty toilet-paper rolls. To knock down the pins, use a small pumpkin (plastic or real) that’s roughly the size of an adult hand.

photo: Pinch of Parsley

7. Host a Pepper Carving Contest

Hacking into a pumpkin can be tough on little hands. Use peppers instead, and let the youngest of your bunch draw on faces with edible marker. They will need some help cutting the faces, but they can hollow out these vegetables on their own with a spoon. The best part: You can stuff the peppers and cook them after the contest for a festive Halloween dinner! Here’s an awesome recipe for taco-stuffed peppers from Pinch of Parsley.

8. Get Caught in the Spider’s Web

Fluffy, miniature black pom pom balls become creepy, crawling spiders in this fun toss game. Spin a spider web by criss-crossing painter’s tape or masking tape between a door frame.  Once you’ve created a sticky trap, let your littles take turns tossing their spiders to see who can get the most 8-legged insects caught in the web.
