Consider any of the following activities;

• Halloween ‘Colouring-in’ competition; Purchase any kids meal to receive a ‘Halloween’ colouring in stencil. This will need to be designed prior to the day so please speak with KS if you would like to consider this option. You will need to ensure you have colouring in materials (pencils etc). If you need to purchase these, please include purchase costs in your A&M proposal. You may wish to run this a few weeks before the day and draw the competition in the afternoon of Halloween.
  
• Lolly Bags; create small lolly bags to be handed out all children on the day of Halloween. Perhaps offer this as a free option with every purchase of a kid’s meal, or to every kid in costume.
  
• Kids Halloween Party; For family venues, you may wish to host a late-afternoon kids party in conjunction with a local kids entertainer/magician. You would promote this party as a safe, controlled alternative to tick-or-treating, where parents can enjoy each other’s company and have the kid’s entertained. (Suggested venue is Tacking Point Tavern).

Be mindful with any larger activities and their timings as to the benefits to revenue generation.
