Don’t Get Spooked this Halloween!

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.

​PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST
This is one tradition that’s as safe and fun for the entire family to enjoy. As always be careful to avoid carving injuries. Children can draw faces with markers. Then parents can do the carving. Save those seeds for a healthy snack.

SPOOKY MOVIE NIGHT
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.

TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS WITH SUGAR AND SPICE
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
6 T white sugar
1/4 t salt
1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
1 T vegetable oil

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted. Larger seeds may take longer.

Step 2
In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of white sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining sugar over them. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts, about 45 seconds. Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated. Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
