Offering children a Biblical alternative to Halloween is a great way to shift the focus from fear to faith while still making it fun! Instead of celebrating traditional Halloween themes, you can introduce stories of courage and God’s protection, like Daniel in the Lion’s Den and David and Goliath. These stories show that even in scary situations, God is always with us, providing comfort and strength. A perfect scripture to emphasize is 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” By using crafts, games, and activities inspired by these stories, children can enjoy a festive atmosphere while learning about God’s love and how faith overcomes fear! Dressing up as Bible heroes or playing “bravery” games where they act out trusting God adds a joyful and meaningful twist to the season.
