Play trick or treat from other cultures. The children were playing in the doors of neighboring houses. If opens when the neighbor gives them candy or jelly then have treatment. If when the neighbor open the door and gives them anything, children can pull a stunt like foam in front of the house or the neighbor wrapped with toilet paper.
