Don’t Get Spooked this Halloween!10/22/2020 It Can Still Be Safe and Fun for All!As with so many things this year, celebrating a holiday like Halloween during a global pandemic can still be done. It just takes on a different look and feel to keep everyone safe. Accordingly, the CDC and DOH have recommended against classic door-to-door trick o treating, haunted houses or costume parties. To keep our Hawaiian Kajukenbo Association ghouls, goblins, sports stars, and superheroes from getting unnecessarily exposed to COVID-19, we have some fun activities to enjoy a spooktacular Halloween.

Celebrate with a movie night and dress as your favorite character. Do this as a family at home or consider letting your child watch with their friends while video chatting, with everyone starting the movie at the same time. CREATE HOLIDAY TREATS Decorate and bake cookies with toppings in the shape of a jack-o-lantern, for example or make ghosts using marshmallows and chocolate chips for faces. Make sure the treats are not choking hazards if you have children under age 3. REMEMBER Halloween during the COVID-19 pandemic is a chance for your ohana to get creative, and maybe even invent some new traditions for your family! It's also a great opportunity to model flexibility and a positive spirit. If you're excited and make it fun, your kids will have fun, too. More importantly, this is a good time to emphasize the importance of protecting not just ourselves but others, as well. The decisions we make on this one day can have a ripple effect beyond our own families.
