The end of October is approaching, which means that soon witches, werewolves, and other evil spirits will flood houses demanding sweets. Thanks to pop culture, primarily movies and music, All Saints’ Eve has firmly established itself in our parts, frightening and shocking parents. But there is no need to be afraid—despite its religious roots, Halloween, like New Year’s or Christmas, has long become a kind family holiday all over the world, where children dress up as creepy creatures and eat as much candy as they want with absolute impunity. The best thing parents can do on this day is to help their kids have a fun festive evening and, if possible, have some fun themselves. Let’s throw a kids’ karaoke party.
Good Company
Did you know it has been scientifically proven that group singing reduces stress, relieves anxiety, and increases endorphin levels? Singing makes us happy. It’s time to have fun! Ask your child to invite their friends and classmates (warn your neighbors or invite them too). The bigger the company, the happier all the guests will be.
Costumes
Halloween is primarily a costume holiday, and the costume is the main attribute of the party. Suggest that the guests choose a suitable character in advance. It is best if the children prepare the costumes themselves with the help of their parents. For some looks, like Frankenstein, just applying makeup is enough. And, of course, at the end of the evening, host an awards ceremony for the best costumes.
Creepy Atmosphere
Decorate the apartment with scary decorations: cobwebs, pumpkin lanterns, cardboard bat silhouettes, papier-mâché skulls, fake spiders, and snakes. Just like with the costumes, it would be ideal if adults make some of the props together with the children.
Music
In the pauses between karaoke, the sweet table, and games, do not forget to put on music suitable for Halloween. It doesn’t have to be gloomy tracks. The cheerful soundtrack to “Ghostbusters” and songs from cartoons will be right on point.
Karaoke
It is better to select the song list for a Halloween karaoke party in advance and distribute it among the participants. It is also worth choosing a host for the evening who will announce the participants and pass the microphone. This will avoid pauses during singing, confusion about who will sing what, and will keep the guests’ attention on the fun itself rather than on flipping through the catalog.
And Finally…
An important rule of a perfect karaoke party is not to make a secret out of it. This isn’t Fight Club. Let your friends on social networks share the fun with you. Set up a live stream, invite viewers to request songs from the little partygoers, or offer them to sing along with you. Turn a family holiday for kids into a global show for hundreds of people!
Have a spooky karaoke! 🎃
How long has it been since you gathered with your family not just for dinner or watching a TV series, but to actively have fun and spend a great evening? Unfortunately, family leisure is increasingly entrusted to gadgets or planned only for vacations, reducing communication with loved ones the rest of the time to solving domestic problems and watching TV.
