Halloween is DS’s favourite “occasion” but the last couple of years he has been let down by friends and I’ve tried making it up to him at home. Prior to that he loved trick or treating and every year looks forward to Halloween. Last year he had his costume all ready and was super excited but then found out that his friends had lied and had a party without him (they sent him a photo of themselves having fun it was horrid). We watched a movie and played games at home together but he was really hurt.
So this year he has started high school and is once again getting hopeful for a good Halloween. I suggested he invite some of his new friends round here but I’m not sure what to do with them. Would 11 year old boys want to play silly Halloween games like bob apple? They’re certainly too young for a horror movie. I can’t spend too much as on a very limited income. Not sure about taking a group of kids I don’t know trick or treating…
Help! What do your 11/12 yo lads enjoy at Halloween?
