Decorate Thoughtfully

Encourage light-hearted decorations that bring the spirit of Halloween without overwhelming the workspace. Think pumpkins, cobwebs, and themed desk accessories.

Host a Pumpkin Carving or Decorating Contest

Allow employees to showcase their creativity with pumpkins—whether carved at home or decorated in the office with paint and stickers.

Hold a Halloween Treat Potluck

Invite team members to bring their favorite fall snacks and treats to share. It’s a great way to bond and break up the workday.

Host a Spooky Trivia Game

Organize a short Halloween-themed trivia session with small prizes. It’s quick, fun, and can be played virtually or in-person.

Create a ‘Spirit Week’

Instead of one big costume day, try themed days (like “Fall Colors Day” or “Witch Hat Wednesday”) to keep it inclusive and low-pressure.

Remember, the goal is to build team camaraderie and inject seasonal fun into your workplace culture—without the pressure of full-on costumes.
