Halloween is fast approaching, and our children are looking forward to the activities to do with the babysitter or with you. So much laughter and excitement awaits you! It is also an opportunity to have them do activities in a foreign language and to tell them about the origins of this Celtic holiday, now celebrated in many countries.
1. Halloween cakes: the most delicious activities to do with the babysitter or with each other
These cakes are horribly good and will delight their eyes and taste buds! And what could be funnier than making a cake with your babysitter covered in candy and sugar and devouring it with your brothers, sisters or friends? You create an unforgettable memory for them. If your babysitter is bilingual, she can do this activity with your children in English, Spanish or in the language of your choice. Because learning a foreign language is also (and above all!) about good times and activities shared together. So, let’s get started, print out the recipes and get ready for a particularly… scary afternoon of baking!

The height of Halloween (on a par with candy!)? The costumes and make-up of course! The scarier they are, the happier your children will be! This is really the top of the activities to do with the babysitter on Halloween. So equip yourself with the necessary tools and tell your babysitter to let her imagination run wild. You’ll be delighted with the result (yes, we sware)!

4. Watching a cartoon or a movie is one of the top activities to do with the babysitter on Halloween.
Depending on the age of your children, you will of course have to choose a film or cartoon adapted to their age, as there is no question of offending their sensibilities. Once this little step of “framing” the babysitter has been done, it’s time to get a little scared! Here are a few titles you can choose from:
- The strange Christmas of Mister Jack: here
- Coraline: here
- Igor: here
- Kiki the Witch: here
- The funeral wedding: here
Now it’s up to you!
