Thread: Teen TOTs?

What would make good teen treats?

I get about 30-40 kids over 12. I give toys to the under-12 set...but I've been giving chips or candy to the older crowd. I'd like to do something different this year.

What (affordable) ideas can you guys come up with? What would be cooler than cool?

Do you think these cross necklaces would be a bad idea...if the kids could choose amongst different offerings? I think goth kids would love them...but I'm not sure if they'd be appropriate.

Flat out honest...we want candy. The good kind. lol.

I give teens the crazy eyes.

idk, I mainly go out to scare people, but sometimes what you need to give, well, anyone really, is a good rush. do something like, use something that would work as camouflage outside the house, and as they walk up, jump out in front of them. but make sure it's a place where they really wont be expecting it, not like under the deck, or behind a bush, do something like...get a coffin, and make the area around it dark enough so that you can't see the inside, even if the coffin is open, and if it has a red inside, then wear clothes that same color, then, you can either jump out at them as they come up, or wait until they pass the coffin, then quietly sneek up behind them. or you could keep the coffin closed, until they pass you, then quietly open the coffin and sneek up behind them.
you would need to have the coffin standing up for either of those though.


if you try that on little kids, they'd be scared out of their minds and you'd probably get in trouble with the parents, and if you try it on adults, you'll get your ass beat. but teens like startles and what not more than candy. lol


but if you don't want to do all that work, I think those necklace things will work.

First of all, as a mom of teens who LOVE Halloween, THANK YOU for wanting to do something for teen TOT'ers rather than complaining about them!

But I really don't think it's neccessary to go all out for special treats. As a previous poster said, "Candy; the good kind!"

Yeah, I've yet to meet the kid who'll turn down a good candy bar! In years past we've handed out goofy toys, like those Chinese finger traps , some small magic trick, or even just glow sticks/necklaces/bracelets. They seem to enjoy them!
