Looking for a fun way to enjoy Halloween decorations with your kids? Take a Halloween decoration drive or walk! Similar to driving around to see Christmas lights, this easy Halloween activity turns an ordinary evening drive or neighborhood walk into a spooky scavenger hunt the whole family can enjoy.
Instead of simply looking at the decorations, kids can search for their favorite Halloween displays and check them off a list as they spot them.
How to Do a Halloween Decoration Drive
This activity is simple to plan and doesn’t require much preparation.
- Choose a route. Find a neighborhood known for its Halloween decorations, or drive around your own community.
- Print your scavenger hunt. Give each child a copy or work together on one family checklist. Turn it into a friendly competition by giving different hunts to different kids.
- Start searching! Look for spooky decorations as you drive past decorated homes.
- Pick your favorites. At the end, let everyone choose the funniest, spookiest, and most creative decorations they saw.
Remember to have an adult drive while a passenger or child marks off the items. Enjoy the displays from public roads and respect private property.
What Can You Find?
Here are a few Halloween decorations to look for on your drive:
- Jack-o’-lanterns
- Ghosts
- Giant skeletons
- Witches
- Black cats
- Giant spiders or spiderwebs
- Tombstones and graveyard displays
- Inflatable Halloween decorations
- A haunted house display
You can make the hunt easier for younger kids by using pictures alongside the checklist. Feel free to make your own or check out the Create and Celebrate Etsy shop.
Make It a Halloween Tradition
Bring along a cozy blanket for the ride, play some Halloween music, and let everyone vote for their favorite house. You could even grab a special Halloween treat before heading out. Or better yet have a treat waiting at home where you can talk about all the spooky things you saw.
It’s an easy way to make memories together without planning a big Halloween event.
