<\/p>\nSaturday
\n31st October is Halloween, which has become increasingly popular in this country.
\nand in many places, the tradition has arisen for children to go from house to house with \u201etrick or treat\u201c. <\/p>\n
Taking into account that a state of public health emergency due to COVID-19 is still in effect, parents and guardians are encouraged to celebrate Halloween with their children in a different way this year. The virus can spread so easily between places and people, as there are many touchpoints when going from house to house to collect sweets. The risk of infection is extremely high at the current time. <\/p>\n
We are all civil defence. Let's continue to work together to reduce infections and get to a better place than we are today. Solidarity is the best public health measure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It's time for costumes! Although Halloween will be a little different this year, you can still dress up and have a fun day in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
Let's decorate windows and houses and even bring back the 'bump' game by poking well-chosen Halloween characters into the windows. You can certainly look at the houses and windows even if you don't knock on the door to get sweets.<\/p>\n
You can go on a treasure hunt or a scavenger hunt and give the kids a list of things to find. For example, a skull, a pumpkin, a ghost, a tombstone and a teddy bear. <\/p>\n
After the walk or once the game is over, the little monsters go home with that sweet treat as a reward. It's ideal to have a spooky night in.<\/p>\n
The joy can be shared with photos and videos on social media, for example in the class group or on neighbourhood pages. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
