Trick or Train: Halloween Fun That Will Make Candy Healthy

Make Halloween even more fun (and healthy) with a little post trick-or-treating exercise.

If Halloween has to be all about candy, why not use candy to inspire a little bit of healthy fun! Break out the trick-or-treating bags and get ready to move.

Halloween candy
Lots of energy!

Instructions

Once you get home from trick-or-treating and before the kids dig into their bags, have them write a list of the kinds of candy they think they got like “Reese’s” and “Kit Kats.” Next to each type of candy, have kids write down an exercise such as “jumping jacks” or “push-ups.” Here is a sample list to use or inspire your own:

Reese’s – Jumping Jacks
Kit Kats – Push-ups
Skittles – Frog Squats
Snickers - Lunges
M&Ms – Toe Touches
Pretzels – High Knees
Jolly Ranchers – Squat Jumps
Lollipop – Sit-ups

After making a list, have kids take turns picking candy pieces from their bags. Each time they take out a piece, check the exercise listed for that candy and have them complete 1 rep. Then have them place that piece of candy on the side for now. Have them choose 10 pieces and do 1 rep for each before they begin snacking on their treats!

Frequently asked questions

What do you put in a kids pretzel baking kit?

But some of these ingredients have been produced in a facility that also processes nuts, soy, sesame seeds, and gluten. So it's very possible that trace amounts of these potential allergens may be found in some of our baking kit ingredients.
