"Let me teach you how to share your
Halloween Treats," says the Professor, handing a bag or
container full of treats to a child helper. This should be a girl
and from then on, the Professor refers to her as “Miss
Treat.” He can give her a funny disguise to wear, if
desired.
Other children are brought up to play the
roles of "Bratty Little Brother," "Mean Aunt
Jean," “Bad Uncle Chad,” etc. Invent more funny
names if you want to expand the number of children on stage. The
children can be given funny disguises to match their names, and
if you want, you can rehearse them in saying “Trick or
Treat” in the voice and manner of character they are
playing. Each person is given an empty container in which to
place the treats they collect while “trick or
treating.”
“Miss Treat” is taught to
politely offer each person a treat from the bag, but when she
offers one to the Professor, he gets: a large rubber rat, a
tarantula, a snake... you get the idea.
