Make sure you pop popcorn so the entire family has something to anxiously munch on during the movie.

Play Truth or Scare

We all know truth or dare, but have you ever played truth or scare? This Halloween game is the perfect way to spend the evening laughing and having fun with the family. Similar to truth or dare, this frightful game is a blast. A few examples of a truth card include “if you were a pirate, what would be your name?” or “if you could only save one person from the witch’s curse, who would it be”. As far as scare goes, prompts include “set up a game of limbo and challenge the group” or “pretend to jump into an imaginary pile of leaves every 10 minutes”. Truth or scare is harmless fun the entire family will enjoy!

Bake Halloween Treats

Candy isn’t the only Halloween treat you can munch on this season. If you’ve ever watched the many Halloween baking shows on television, you’ll know there are plenty of spooky treats that you can create in the kitchen. Whether you’re looking to bake frosted spider cookies, ghoulish ghost brownies, or mini donuts decorated as pumpkins, you are sure to find a recipe to satisfy the entire family’s craving. Inside all of our vacation rentals in Cape Coral, are beautiful kitchens fully equipped with everything you need to bake a delicious batch of treats.
