Hi All! Hope everyone is doing well!
Our church is looking for ideas/suggestions for our Trunk or Treat. We had our first last year, and had a great time, but are looking for some new ideas. Especially looking for ideas on decorating our car trunks with Bible Themes (such as Noah's Ark, Daniel and the Lions Den, Queen Esther, Loaves and Fishes...) and a carnival-type game and prize to go with each. We also had a Bounce House and a Hot Chocolate/Popcorn stand with some Christian witness materials (tracts, gospel bracelet, S.H.I.N.E. flashlights...) Would love to hear more fun ideas!!!
THANK YOU!!!

I don't have any new ideas, you certainly already have more that our church does. Last year was our 2nd year and we had a chili cook-off and this year we are adding a bon fire after the cook-off.

I like the idea of a popcorn stand. We were toying w/ the idea of buying a popcorn machine at VBS time.

We did have someone make a PLINK-O game and use it during Trunk-or-Treat. The prizes were in the bottom slots, so where the ball landed was what they won.

I know you said flashlights, but don't forget about glow sticks w/ clear labels on them w/ a message, your church name, or even VBS 2009 info!!!

I have found that Airheads are great to put labels on for messages. We have a member supply us w/ boxes at VBS & Trunk-or-treat.

Have fun, I would love to hear more about your plans. Then I will pass them on. Our event is run by the Youth group and I can sit back and enjoy.
