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
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?
