With Halloween this Friday, candy is on everyone’s mind! Either you’re completely excited about what you’re going to get, worried about how hyper your kid is going to be and how you’re going to stop them from eating all of it, or how much you have to buy to fulfill the trick-or-treaters at the door. So to kick off Halloween week, I’m sharing a candy playlist- songs with candy in the lyrics!
Note that “candy” is used in many of these as a euphemism for … adult things, so please be conscientious before putting this playlist on repeat at your teen/tween program.
