Add slots for candy donations, game stations, and setup and cleanup crews, and share one link with your church, school, or neighborhood. Families sign up from their phones with no account.

| Slot | How many | Note on the sheet |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Car spot | 20, numbered | Arrive 45 minutes early to decorate |
| Trunk theme | One per car | Ask as a question so themes do not repeat |
| Extra candy donation | 6–8 bags | Backup for trunks that run out |
| Nut-free / teal pumpkin trunk | 2 | Non-food treats only |
| Game station leader | 3–4 | Ring toss, bean bags, pumpkin bowling |
| Hot cocoa or cider table | 2 |  |
| Check-in and headcount | 2 |  |
| Parking and traffic | 2–3 | Reflective vests |
| Setup crew | 3 | Cones and signs |
| Cleanup crew | 4 | Trash bags and a sweep of the lot |

## How much candy each trunk needs

Each trunk hands out a piece or two to every child who comes past, so multiply your expected headcount by two and ask each trunk to bring about that much. Use last year's count if you have one. Collect a few extra donated bags at check-in for trunks that run out early.

## Trunk or treat theme ideas

- Pumpkin patch with hay bales
- Under the sea, with blue streamers and fish
- Haunted house (keep it gentle for toddlers)
- Candy land
- Favorite movie or book characters
- Space or rocket launch
- Camping, with a pop-up tent and s'mores-themed treats
- Monster mouth: the open trunk as a giant mouth with teeth

## Game stations

- Pumpkin bowling with mini pumpkins and plastic bottles
- Ring toss on witch hats
- Bean bag toss into jack-o'-lanterns
- Mummy wrap race with toilet paper rolls
- Costume parade with a prize for each age group

## Safety and allergy notes

- **1 in 13** — Children with a food allergy, or about two in every classroom ([FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education)](https://www.foodallergy.org/resources/facts-and-statistics))

- Close the lot to moving cars once the event starts, and mark a separate drop-off area
- Put a teal pumpkin trunk or two on the sheet for children with food allergies
- Ask trunks not to give out homemade treats
- Keep battery lights in the trunks rather than candles
- Hand each volunteer a reflective vest for parking duty
