Trick-or-Treat

One of the most popular Halloween activities is trick-or-treating. If you are concerned about your kids heading out on their own on Halloween night, why not tag along? Don a costume yourself, and take the time to enjoy the scenery and everyone else's costumes. You might even get some candy of your own.

Deck the yard

And the halls, and yourself. If you choose to stay at home on Halloween night, why not make it fun for everyone who comes to visit you? Decorate your yard, entranceway, and yourself and get ready to enjoy the trick-or-treaters that come to call.

Costume parties

If you enjoy costumes, why not attend a costume party or host your own? This can be a great way for adults to have a more mature Halloween celebration, or just a fun way to allow the kids to enjoy their costumes for a little longer.

Haunted Houses

If you really want to get creeped out on Halloween, consider taking a tour through your local haunted houses. Most are designed to be gory and scary, so keep that in mind if there are little ones in your group. These attractions are usually quite popular, and are often open the entire month of October, so if you don't want to wait in line consider visiting them earlier in the month.

Boo at the zoo

If there is a zoo in your city, it might be worth checking to see if yours offers any special events in the month of October. Usually taking place on the weekends, Boo at the zoo usually allows your kids to dress up in costumes, receive treats, visit their favorite animals, and participate in fun activities.

Movie night

For movie buffs, some theaters will set up all-night horror film festivals. They often feature select cult classics like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, as well as others. This can be great entertainment for those who plan on staying up all night. Alternatively, if you want to stay home, consider having your own movie night at home with your personal Halloween favorites.

Haunted hayrides

For another traditional Halloween activity, consider taking a haunted hayride. Often hosted by local farms (quite possibly the one you pick your pumpkin from) these after dark activities include a spooky hayride, bonfire, and snacks and are usually appropriate for all age groups.

Research your ghostly neighbors

Nearly every town has an area or building that is ?haunted? by some local ghost. Visit your local library or historical center to find out where these places are, and take your own local tour. In some areas, paranormal investigation teams will take tours out on Halloween to do some ghost hunting of your own.

Read a book

If curling up at home alone with the leftover candy is more your speed, consider reading a suspense/horror book. Your local library can surely recommend some good ones depending on your tastes.

Halloween always offers plenty to do if you take time to do it.

Football and Family Fun

So you want to play football with the family? What must you do to have the most fun and avoid injuries and accidents? This article list the key Do's of successful family football. By following them you and your family can enjoy a satisfying and healthy game of football.

1. Use the proper football. Footballs come in three coverings ? rubber, composite and leather and three sizes ? junior, intermediate and official. Prices range from about $10.00 to over $100.00 each. It matters little what covering you choose. A good properly inflated rubber ball is perfectly satisfactory provided that it (and any other cover type you choose) is official size. Smaller balls make no sense when adults are playing.

2. Choose a suitable location. Your family football game will be far more fun if you pick the right location. The most attractive place would be a level grassy area in a park. The least attractive would be an asphalt roadway. The more grassy and level a location is the less chance there will be for injury and hampered play.

3. Select the teams wisely. Choose the two teams for family play in a balanced way. If possible, ensure that there are the equal numbers of: (1) experienced players, (2) ladies and girls, and (3) younger players on each side. Also, give everyone the opportunity to play. Fun for the whole family is only possible if no participant feels left out of the game.

4. Employ simple rules. It is unnecessary to follow the NFL rules in a simple family game. However, some easily understood rules are required. They should cover such areas as scoring, blocking, tackling, field size, off-side, game timing and penalties. Ensure that all players know the rules and abide by them since there will be no referee. Keep the rules simple and easily understood.

5. Supply plenty of water. Playing football requires a lot of running. This activity drains the body of fluids. So it is important to have lots of water available for the players and let them drink it liberally. But ensure that no one overdoes it and gets sick.

6. Keep first aid supplies handy. There is a limited chance of serious injury in a family foot ball game. However, depending on the playing surface, injuries like scrapes, bruises and sprains can occur readily since most players are not physically fit. If some one is injured discontinue their play at once and, in more serious cases, take them without delay to a local hospital emergency room.

Football for the family is meant to be fun and provide good exercise. By following these few simple Do's it can be.
