Are we too old for Halloween?

The Queens of Mean try to take over again! Today, in Mrs. Rodriguez’s class, we were talking about what we should be for Halloween, until Anna and Joline laughed and said that we are too old for dressing up! Just because we are in junior high doesn’t mean we can’t go trick-or-treating! Dressing up is so fun, and I love sharing candy with my friends. So, Katani, Avery, Isabel, Maeve and I thought we’d do a little of both this year—a little door-to-door trick or treating, AND plan a super fun Halloween scavenger hunt!  That way, we get the best of both Halloween worlds!

First, the BSG and I made a list of things that we could find while we were out trick-or-treating—like a broom, candy corn, a black cat, or an un-carved pumpkin. Then, Halloween night, we’ll try to check all of those things off the list as we walk our trick or treating route! I can’t wait to see everyone enjoying Halloween. Katani is going to make the BSG's costumes but we are all going to help. We called a special meeting in the tower and agreed to do a Wizard of OZ theme (it was really Maeve’s idea of course). I am the scarecrow, Maeve is Dorothy, Katani is the tin man, Avery is the lion, and our little Mr. Martay is Toto!  Oh, and Isabel is Glinda, the good witch.

Maeve typed out all the items on scavenger hunt list on her computer, and here is what we came up with so far:

1. Black cat
2. Cornstalks
3. Broom
4. Candy Corn
5. Candy apple
6. Two un-carved pumpkins
7. Scarecrow (besides my costume!)
8. A witch costume
9. A ghost costume
10. A pirate costume

I am so glad that I stuck up for Halloween, especially since my friends helped me do it. You can even do a scavenger hunt of your own in your neighborhood! Make up your own list, and try it out with your friends!



you tell us ...
What would your Halloween Scavenger Hunt list look like? Or, do you think you ARE too old for Halloween?

Your friend,

I think Jr. high girls seem to drift away from all that door to door stuff by now. I kinda hope there is a halloween party or something at school to keep me occupied the 31st. so I dont have to say "trickortreat" a bazillion times with my brother who will most likely be a stupid pirate. smilies/angry.gif

Nope I do not think I am too old for Halloween, because I still like to do many little kid things too. And I don't like to wear makeup or do anything to my hair, you know, because I do not want to grow up too fast but I am 13, so what? I'm just living my life!

C'mon everyone goes T ot T-ing! My friends and I went as people dressed in black, so we were invisible. But our one friend K**** got ditched by her "friends" so she went w/ us, and she was a green M & M. We looked funny next 2 her. I dont think we'll b going much longer though- probably after middle school- we'll just buy candy from Tops and watch movies on the 31st!

In think that people shouln't go trick or treating after middle school. Not because they are too mature but for the sake of the younger kids. When I was in elementary school i hated being around all the wild teenagers.

You can make that choice, personally, i don't think anyone is too old, for halloween, but you can make tht choice. My cousin is 14, and her and her friends went as ketchup mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, and so on just last year. if you choose not to, don't be crabby, hand out candy to the kids!

I'm sorry, this comment is a little late, but:
In my opinion, you should be able to do whatever you want to no matter what your age is. However, if it's something that is dangerous (something a child would do) you should realize that as you get older, you have more responsibility. But doing so called "babyish" things never hurt anyone!

Hey Neelygirl929,
I still trick-or-treat and I am almost 13! It's fun. My dad, mom, sister, even dress up for Halloween! One year my sis and I dressed up as Bo-Ba's, and my dad and mom dressed up as bags of jelly beans! All this to say don't worry what other people think. They are just to closed up in their little "Perfect World". People who step out of this world have way more fun! C U l8ter!

I am in 8th grade so I think I am too old for Halloween. Nobody in 6th grade even dresses up any more! It makes me look like a dork! I dressed up last year and I won the cotume contest, but that just made it worse because it called more attention to me. This year I am dressing up but I am going to stay home and pass out candy! I am not a big candy eater so I thought this was a great idea! Heart if you agree!

I say that sure you may get too old to wear cotumes but how can you get too old to eat loads
of candy??????My 58 year old grandma still eats candy.So,if you feel like you're to old to wear a costume then go put on a silly hat or something and go out trick or treating. you won't feel bad
when people say you look funny because you meant for it to be.Hope this helps,
