What is the trick or treat wheel?
The trick or treat wheel is a free online spinner loaded with 8 starter entries, such as Treat!, Trick: spooky laugh, Treat!, Trick: zombie walk.

How families use the trick-or-treat wheel
The wheel adds a game to Halloween night. Children spin before collecting a sweet: land on "treat" and they take one, land on a "trick" slice and they do a small, silly challenge first, such as a spooky dance, a ghost noise or a riddle. It works at home, at a class party or as a doorstep activity, and kids love the suspense.
Kind, safe trick ideas
Keep tricks fun rather than scary for young children: howl like a werewolf, do a zombie walk, tell a Halloween joke, name three things that are orange, strike a superhero pose, say "boo" in a funny voice. Older kids can handle a bit more: a short scary story, a riddle, or a costume catwalk. Avoid anything messy, dangerous or embarrassing.
Halloween party games
Spin for the next game: mummy wrap with toilet paper, bobbing for apples, pin the hat on the witch, a pumpkin carving contest or a monster freeze dance. Spin for costume contest categories, such as scariest, funniest, most creative and best group costume, and spin for prize order. A "spooky snack" wheel picks the next treat to make: mummy hot dogs, ghost bananas or spider cookies.
Allergy-friendly treats
If you hand out sweets, keep a few non-food treats too: stickers, glow sticks, mini notebooks or pencils. Add them to the wheel as their own slices so every child can take part. Teal pumpkins signal a house with non-food options for children with allergies.
Classroom Halloween
Teachers can spin for Halloween writing prompts ("the haunted lunchbox", "a pumpkin's diary"), spooky spelling words or brain breaks. Keep it inclusive: some families don't celebrate Halloween, so a broader "autumn fun" wheel with harvest and leaf themes works well too.
Safety reminders
Trick-or-treat with an adult or in groups, carry a torch, stick to well-lit streets and only visit houses with lights on. Check sweets before eating them. Reflective tape on costumes helps drivers see children in the dark.
Example
A neighbourhood family puts a tablet with the wheel on the doorstep. Each group of visitors spins once; most get a treat, a few do a werewolf howl, and parents film the funniest tricks.
Customising the wheel
Change the treat slices to match what you have in your bowl: chocolate bar, lollipop, gummies or a sticker. Use a black, orange and purple palette with a pumpkin image in the centre, and choose a spooky sound for the reveal. If you have lots of visitors, give "treat" more weight so the queue keeps moving, and keep tricks quick, under ten seconds.
Pumpkin carving wheel
Spin a face design for each pumpkin: classic triangle eyes, a cat, a ghost, a vampire with fangs, a surprised face or a spider web. Family members with the same design can compete for the best version.
Take a photo of each finished pumpkin and spin for which one sits on the doorstep.
The winner gets the first pick from the treat bowl on the night.
