Trick-or-treating is the main Halloween activity for children and families. Children dress up in costumes and then go door-to-door to ask for candy, while singing “Trick-or-treat! Thick-or treat! Give me something good to eat!” Even people without children enjoy dressing up in costumes and giving out candy to children who come to their door. This year, however, COVID-19 means Halloween will look a little different.
Trick-or-treating presents health worries in the time of COVID-19. Children usually need to get close to the person giving out the candy. It is difficult to stay a safe distance away. Each area of the United States is dealing with trick-or-treating differently. Many cities and states have canceled tick-or-treating. And many parents are still considering whether to let their children go trick-or-treating.
In Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, Jamie Bender is mom to two kids, ages3 and 5. She said she was still considering whether her family would go trick-or-treating. “If our neighbors are wearing masks when they open the door,” she said, “we will let the kids trick-or-treat a few houses.” Bender added she would then clean the candy covers before letting her children eat it.
People are thinking of safer ways to give candy to trick-or-treating. Some say they will use long sticks or other tools to safely send candy from a distance. Others say they will just throw candy to children and hope it lands close by.
Fifteen-year old Alina Morse lives in Detroit, Michigan. She developed a candy company. She also created a Halloween Tree. The tree lets children pick a piece of candy (or two, or three) but still stay physically distanced. Alina told the AP that “selecting a treat from the tree makes the safe, self-serve experience much more fun.”
Miranda Leon of Albany, Georgia, still plans to buy Halloween candy. And she plans to take her children to tick-or-treating and give out candy.
