Invite children and adults to dress in Halloween costumes and participate in a community parade. Earn money by charging an entry fee, by selling food and by taking Polaroid or digital pictures.
Prep Steps:
1. Identify a suitable date and time around Halloween for your event. Try not to conflict with trick-or-treat times—consider the weekend before Halloween, for example.
2. Work with authorities to determine a parade route—even if it’s just around your school, parking lot or potential playspace!
3. Create a system for registering participants and collecting payment prior to the event.
4. If you are holding a contest, secure in-kind donations as prizes.
Materials Needed:
1. Flyers
