Here are some light party craft and games ideas to help you create a fun and positive halloween alternative celebration party for kids!

Here in the UK where we live, Halloween is not such an integral part of our culture as it is in the USA. Even though I'm half American, we were brought up with only a minimal nod towards halloween each year and it passed by most of us without any notice. Recently it has become much more popular and I can see that it is, on the whole, lots of harmless fun for kids to engage in.

However, as a Christian family we choose not to take part in it due to its roots, but of course our kids are aware of what is happening in the world around them and DO want to have fun too, and we don't want to stop that from happening. So over the past few years we have had our own alternative light parties at around the same time.

If you want an easy and fun alternative to a halloween party for your little ones or church group, perhaps having a light party is something you could try too. I posted some photos on social media over the past few years of our light party set up and many have expressed an interest and asked for more details, so that's why I'm sharing them in this post today! Hope it's helpful for getting you started on your own Light Part plans.

Light Parties are a growing trend in Christian circles and are a really nice way to keep all the fun but lose the scary aspects (which also appeals to more sensitive kids who might find the costumes and decorations a little frightening.) They also give Christian families and groups an opportunity to focus on light and the teaching of Jesus being the light of the world and to celebrate that in a fun way with the kids.

For our light parties we usually have them at home and invite over some friends for an evening of crafts and games, followed by food and a lantern parade in the dark. The kids come dressed up in fun costumes and we hand out glow sticks to make bangles and crowns.

Last year we made Chinese paper lanterns with the verse " I am the light of the world" written on them and the kids decorated them with gold glitter glue and sequins before folding them and stapling together. We added handles with sticky tape and they looked lovely being held or hanging up on display. [See how to make paper lanterns in this pervious tutorial about up-cyled art work lanterns.]

We also make some glass jar lanterns using yellow and orange tissue paper, white glue and star sequins, with thin garden wire twisted around the rim to make a simple handle. These are always a favourite and I just love how beautiful they look and that they are easy enough for even toddlers to make too!

Use electric LED candles for smaller kids rather than tea light candles. [See how to make these jam jar lanterns in this previous tutorial.]

Because it is always so dark at this time of year, even by 5pm, these lanterns look beautiful glowing in the low light and create a lovely atmosphere!

We take the lanterns out into the garden and have little parade outside, and sometimes then light sparklers too. We might use our new fire pit this year to gather around and roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate as well!

One year we strung ring donuts on a line and the kids had to eat them with their hands behind their backs, just like the fun party games from our own childhood. This was a hoot and very popular! You could also do the traditional apple bobbing which is loads of good fun.

We made a super simple star shaped piñata from tin foil and sticky tape, filling it with treats and small gifts for them to collect after it was broken.

I love this photo of them jumping up to try and catch the treats as they started to fall!

Other simple ideas are to sing songs, dance to music, listen to stories, play "jump on the stars" (just like Islands game, but with stars on the floor to land on instead) and pass-the-parcel, to name just a few.

You could also do lots of glow in the dark crafts and activities or go on a torch walk together.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about halloween and light parties! Please remember that this is simply a family tradition that we have adopted for ourselves and for some close friends, and I'm well aware that it won't be suited to everyone. I've been asked to share what we do lots of times, so I hope it will be a help to those who are interested in creating your own version or something similar!

Talking through the "tricky bits" of the Bible and faith with Children 

# data[].attributes.subject
Talking through the "tricky bits" of the Bible and faith with Children 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From the account of Cain murdering Abel, to David committing adultery with Bathsheba, to the woman at the well's five husbands, to the beheading of John the Baptist, the Bible is fraught with some gruesome and disturbing accounts that expose humankind's sinful nature. Whether it's dodging narratives of brutal murder, rape, and incest or navigating Jesus' crucifixion on the cross, children's ministers face a unique challenge when it comes to knowing how to teach kids the tougher parts of the Bible.

How do we prayerfully cover all Bible stories for all ages? It's no simple task-nor one to take lightly. For some, the idea of quietly censoring the Bible has its appeal. And it's true: To a degree, simply leaving out the tough stories of the Bible would be easier.

But-and this is a big "but"-children's ministers and experts all agree that omitting certain accounts of the Bible is a flawed approach that can result in children developing a flawed faith. So what's the best approach to handling the racier events of the Bible? Read on to find out.

Unpack the Reality of Sin

Experts agree that we must figure out how to present all of the Bible-even the really uncomfortable parts-to kids so they learn from it. While the parts full of humanity's sin can feel treacherous with children, shielding them from these parts may, in fact, shield them from the awareness of our sinful nature and our need for a Savior.

"Most of the 'uncomfortable or censored' content is a direct result of sin," says Bill Emeott, lead childhood ministry specialist at LifeWay Christian Resources, "and kids need to understand what sin is and its consequences."

We can't teach the foundations of Christianity to children without teaching the concept of sin. Presenting the right teachings at the right time in a child's life can provide the building blocks necessary to establish an initial understanding of who God is and who we are in relation to him through Jesus. Starting with the third story in the Bible, kids need to know how Adam and Eve's poor choice allowed sin to enter the world and separate humankind from God. It's important to not protect kids from an early and basic understanding of sin and its gravity. This knowledge is crucial for kids to understand more about the Bible, themselves, and the world around them.

"At the same time," Emeott notes, "it's important to be sensitive to a child's maturity and ability to understand the content. Whenever possible and appropriate, teaching the concepts and reality of these events is valuable and foundational."

Use Age-Appropriate Discretion

If you've ever set out to read the Bible from cover to cover, you know how overwhelming it can be to stomach all the violence. The Bible brings humans' true sinful nature to the surface in a multitude of ways. Our challenge is to simplify (but not dumb-down) these lessons for children.

"For instance, the central story of our faith includes a guy being beaten, bloodied, and nailed to a cross," says Mikal Keefer, former senior writer for Lifetree Café and a children's ministry volunteer for more than 30 years. "Yet we find a way to share that story with everyone from young children to adults; it's not the story-it's the detail and method by which it's shared."

"I believe the entire Bible-every word-is important and good to study," explains Jayne George, children's ministry director for Valley Springs Presbyterian Church in Roseville, California. George has taught children and authored curriculum for more than 30 years.

What is "Age-Appropriate"?

"The real question is: What's an age-appropriate way?" One tactical example is in nearly every boy's favorite Old Testament "bad guy" story: David and Goliath. It's a safe assumption that in virtually no children's Bible is there mention of the end of the struggle, where David runs to Goliath and makes the final kill by beheading him. The complete account may be okay for older preteens, but certainly not for preschoolers.

"The Bible is by nature a violent book," Keefer continues. "Pick any child's Bible storybook and no matter how carefully you tell the stories, violence lurks just around the corner."

Often simplifying certain aspects of a story and presenting them on the child's level is the key to making the story understandable to children. Consider the story of Noah's Ark. It's a treasured scene that adorns nurseries in churches and homes. What we don't see is that once the animals are aboard the ark, a devastating flood engulfs the rest of life. We leave out certain details for the little ones.

"It's a good idea to focus on the parts of the story that make a powerful connection with kids," says Jody Brolsma, senior editor for Group's vacation Bible school programs. "For example, in our Egypt VBS, we wanted to talk about Joseph being in prison for something he didn't do. We knew kids understand being blamed for something they didn't do or even to get punished unjustly. But, Joseph was put in prison because Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph, then claimed that he'd tried to rape her...Not exactly kid-friendly! So we had Joseph say, 'Potiphar's wife wanted me to be her boyfriend...and that's not right!' This was a simple, age-appropriate way to handle the topic, while not making it the focus of the story."

Build a Simple Foundation

Consider what the key truth is that children of any age need to learn from any Bible story. Keefer asserts, "I wonder if a better question to ask-rather than 'What stories are age-appropriate?'-might be 'What truth does God want these children to discover from his Word?' "

For many, removing overly complicated details from stories brings the story to the child's level. Greg Baird is the founder of Kidmin360, an organization that provides equipping and leadership development for children's ministers. He says his trusted approach to tough biblical topics is to share the truth-without sharing all the facts.

"Keep to the truth and the essential message of the passage. But be careful not to raise disturbing and distracting elements of the story," advises Baird. "For example, we can say that Rahab was a woman who didn't obey God rather than a prostitute. As kids get older, we share more details. In fact, later on, those details sometimes lead to more relevant, life-impacting discussions."

Children's minister George adds that teaching young children is an organic process. This means she inserts story details to kids' learning as they're appropriate to the kids' age and development. "If I'm teaching my child to swim, I'm not going to throw him into the deep end and hope he 'gets it.' I'm going to introduce him to water in an age-appropriate and organic manner. This way, children learn in non-threatening and easy ways. And that's your goal for teaching children the Bible. By the time they get to the more difficult details and stories, there's no trauma."

Don't Turn Truth Into a Fairy Tale

While simplifying stories to make them palatable to children is beneficial, experts agree that there's a risk of over-sanitizing: The stories risk being stripped of their inherent meaning.

"Children's ministers need to push the envelope a little," says Brolsma. "Many times it feels like we've watered down these stories so they're the equivalent of fairy tales in an effort to not frighten. No wonder so many young adults who grew up in the church don't believe the Bible is true. We need to be willing to help children experience God's Word, to let the power of God's Word take root in a child's heart. That's life-changing."

Providing kids with just enough detail to identify and relate to the people or situations involved in the events is extremely valuable. Ask: What traits or themes do you want to teach? How do you want your children to relate their personal experience to God's Word? And don't be lulled into sticking to the tried-and-true stories kids have heard before.

"Why have we limited the awesomeness of God's Word to a select number of 'safe' stories?" challenges Brolsma. "Recently we talked to VBS leaders about our upcoming Babylon VBS, which has the subtitle, 'Daniel's Courage in Captivity.' I was astounded that a negative comment was, 'How are you going to make the story of Daniel in the lion's den last for five days of VBS?' Daniel did so much more than face lions! If we could look at things through the filter of 'what truth does God want these children to discover from his Word?' I think we'd be shocked by the lesser-known Scriptures we could bring to life for kids."

Build on Basics

The best course of action for children's ministers is to start simply and build upon repeated concepts as children develop. Teaching fundamental concepts first and adding to these as maturity allows makes perfect sense.

"Children learn best when they're allowed to build on the knowledge they've already got," says Emeott. "Children learn difficult concepts a little at a time and build on what they know. A first-grade teacher doesn't start math lessons with algebra, but by the sixth grade, algebra is part of the expected teaching plan. Math starts with addition and subtraction and then kids build on those learned skills with multiplication and division. Eventually, the learner is ready for the more complicated math of algebra."

The same theory applies with controversial concepts of the Bible. "As a child matures and grows, you can share more and more facts with a deeper understanding of the events," says Emeott. "God wants to speak anew every time you read his Word. So even in Bible stories we think we understand fully, God can reveal new and fresh truths."

Change Your Reference Point

When we look at the amazing array of events in the Bible, it's all too easy to lean toward censoring the ones that make us uncomfortable. Rather than censoring or omitting, change your frame of reference. Everything in the Bible is there for a reason; it's up to us to seek out the ways to help kids find the meaning God has for them in his words. Rather than censor it, we can simplify concepts and de-select details so they don't become a distraction to the understanding kids can get from the basic story. Learn to release and hold back just the right amount for the kids you minister to.

"Should we censor the Bible?" ponders Brolsma. "Of course not. But we should use wisdom as we teach God's Word, gleaning applicable and meaningful truths from every portion of Scripture. It means we step out in faith, sharing God's Word honestly and simply in ways that today's kids can best understand."

Light Party Escape Room – Children & Families Ministry

Description
At the first ever 'Light Party', Jesus declared "I am the light of the world"
Without light, we're a mess, scared and in danger. We need light to live safely and rightly with the world, with each other and with God. In fact, the Bible tells us that we are all lost people who are living in darkness; we all need the light.

This playful illustrated animation is a helpful alternative to Halloween and unpacks the Feast of Tabernacles, taking children to the first ever 'Light Party', where Jesus said 'I am the light of the world'. Jesus helps us see clearly who we are, what the world is really like and who God is. When Jesus, the light of the world, stepped into our darkness, he dealt with it once and for all and showed us how much we need his light.
