Halloween is a fun holiday for kids and it should be fun for kids of all ages. Halloween doesn’t need to be scary or filled with sugary treats to be fun. Here are NIHCA’s thoughts on bringing Halloween to your club.

• Have a costume contest with bonus points for being able to complete your workout in costume
• Invite trick-or-treaters to your center when your local area is participating in the holiday. Ideas of what to hand out:
  • Promo items such as pens, magnets, etc
  • Healthier treats like pretzel packs, protein balls, or dried fruit
  • Treat “hands” filled with candy
  • Coupon Discounts to your club
• Offer a Halloween themed workout
  • Hold a pumpkin throughout the workout
  • Change up the names of your workouts
    • Inchworm = zombie rising
    • Burpees = Ghost flops
    • Bearcrawl = Spider walking
  • Have a Halloween “MASK” contest

It’s hard to believe Halloween is around the corner but now is the time to get something great planned for your facility. So what will you implement for Halloween this year?
