Pre Adventure Fun

Enjoy these themed activities before setting off on your Spooky Adventure Day!

Activity 1

5 - 15 minutes
Equipment: paper and pen

What’s your ghost name?

Every ghost needs a friend! Before you head out on your adventure, sit down together and create your ghost names and backstories.

Step 1: Choose your name

Pick a simple name that sounds spooky or fun! Here are some easy examples to get you started:

  • Chilly Charlie

  • Spooky Sam

  • Eerie Ellie

  • Haunting Henry

Step 2: Create your story

Write a fun and short story about your ghost’s adventures and how they got their name. For example: Haunting Henry is a mischievous ghost who loves to play hide-and-seek in the dark. He got his name because he loves to jump

Optional step 3: Go the extra mile

Wear a spooky cape or ghost mask! 

Activity 2

As long as you like
Equipment: phone

Adventure Day playlist!

Kick off your spooky adventure by creating a Spotify playlist together. Each family member can add up to 5 spooky-inspired songs. Add playful spooky favourites like "Ghostbusters", "Monster Mash", and "This Is Halloween", along with eerie movie music from Coco, Casper, or Harry Potter. Sprinkle in silly spooky songs like "Five Little Ghosts" and "The Skeleton Dance" to keep it light and fun.

Once your playlist is set, blast it in the car or pop in your earbuds while cruising on the ferry to a haunted (but friendly!) island. Are you ready for a boo-tastic adventure?

Activity 3

10 minute game
Equipment: none

Ghostly Charades!

Write down spooky actions (like "a ghost floating," "a mummy wrapping," or "a werewolf howling") on pieces of paper. Players take turns drawing a piece of paper and acting out the spooky actions for the others to guess. No words allowed, just spooky motions!

This is the perfect game for getting everyone in a silly, spooky mood before your adventure day!
