Trick or Treat - Trick Ideas Please....

moyilla

Hi everyone,

Well trick or treat time is nearly here and 4 out of my 7 seem to think that when they go trick or treating they will automatically get treats :rolleyes:

So of course I had to drop the bombshell that they may not get treats and will be asked to peform a trick, I've never seen faces drop so quick!!! :rotfl:

So, can I ask what tricks you all will be preparing to play on your neighbours :eek:

A couple of years ago - feeling in a particularly mischevious mood - my neighbours children knocked on the door and said 'Trick or Treat'.

You should have seen their faces when I said "oooh treat please" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

When we took my son out last year we were asked for a trick by a few people. So what we took was one of those small plastic cauldrons(the ones you get for about £1.00 from the supermarkets) we filled it with plastic spiders and insects that we bout form the cheapo shops. Then if the person asked for a trick they had to put their hands in the cauldon. They all thought this was really funny.

I only let my kids knock at doors where they have a halloween sign up or ornament- pumpkin etc. That way we are only knocking at doors where they are taking part. I hate them doing it as I feel like we are begging for sweets.

Same here this will only be the 2nd time they have ever done it and my eldest is 13.
I grew up in N Ireland and I never went trick or treating once so it never even crossed my mind to do it :rolleyes:

Thanks for all your suggestions :beer:

Just bumping this up to see if anyone else has any ideas for "tricks"

We used to chant;

"Trick or Treat, You'll smell my feet, if you don't give me something good to eat!"

Then if they said trick we'd wave socks at them. Not smelly ones obviously.;)

I've never had anybody knock on my door. If some !!!!er tricked me because they're arrogant enough to think that's OK then I hope they get mauled by next door's dog.

Not everybody is part of the TorT culture. You should clear it with people whose doors you're going to knock on first.

I won't be buying things in just in case for the first time ever somebody knocks on my door. That's not very MSE.

I don't think the OP intends malicious tricks like egging or something like that. It's just that some people you call on may be in the spirit of things (or just in the spirits!) and ask to see a 'trick' of some sort before granting you a treat.

I think the caulron full of toy spiders is a great idea - but be weary - arachnophobia is the most common fear in this country...

That will teach them to ask for a trick :rotfl:

Have to agree with Maggie, I don't think OP was being malicious.

I turned away 3 kids yesterday ... well I say kids they were in their early teens and they kept their finger on the doorbell at 8pm waking up both of my children so I was less than pleased and told them not to come back. I only knock on friends and familys doors with my children.
