We did something a little different to celebrate. We put together a youtube video about different superstitions like opening an umbrella indoors, walking under a ladder, etc. Things considered unlucky.
I didn't take pictures since we were taking videos but it was fun.
Here is a list of the things we acted out for the video:
Opening an umbrella indoors (we try to do that every year for this holiday)
Saying the title of the play, "Macbeth," in a theatre (we made our own little curtain from some PVC and a sheet)
Saying "Good luck" instead of "Break a leg" when someone is going onstage to perform
Walking under a ladder (we used the kids bunk bed ladder and the kids walked behind it- close enough)
A black cat crossing your path (Jeremy made a balloon cat for us since we didn't have access to a real black cat)
Spilling salt (you're supposed to throw some over your shoulder when you spill it)
Breaking a mirror (I specifically went to the Dollar Store to get a mirror we could break for this video. I happened to get a double set with a little compact mirror bonus. The kids did not want me to break the bigger mirror. They just wanted to play with it. Finally I just took the compact mirror and broke it instead)
