If you ask children what their best public holiday is, the most likely response from most children will be Christmas, with Halloween next in a close second . Some kids will choose Halloween as their initial favorite. But this holiday, with all its goblins and ghosts , likely makes the top two preferred holidays on most childrens lists.
With that result , it is without question entertaining to have a Halloween class celebration . These fun ideas can be used for any type of Halloween celebration. With plenty of fun games and activities and heaps of sweet treats for prizes, it’s guaranteed to be a winner with children of all school ages. You can even request they dress up in Halloween Costumes.
For younger children how about playing a game of pumpkin bowling? Buy some inexpensive plastic pumpkin treat buckets and stack them up on a hard floor. You can stack them as high as you like, but you have to start with at least three buckets. If you get many buckets, you can make a pyramid out of them. Find some lightweight plastic balls – plastic bowling balls are excellent for this. And let the kids go bowling! The kids love knocking over the pumpkin heads and all the kids who play should get a prize for this game.
Kids of all ages enjoy creating mummies of themselves . This is how it works. You bring in toilet paper, lots and lots of toilet paper . Divide the kids into teams of 2 . When you start timing the kids, they must wrap up their teammate in the toilet paper, like a mummy . The first team who is all wrapped up first wins . The mummified child can then break out of the paper wrap and make a loud, scary “roar” and the game starts ove again so the other child has a turn be wrapped. Be sure to play some spooky Halloween music during the action and game is being played to set the atmosphere .
Circle time! Gather all the kids in a circle and start to tell a spooky story. You can use a classic scary beginning such as: “It was a dark and spooky night…” and let the next person in the circle continue the story. Each child will add a few lines to the story as it moves around the circle. If the children are young, you can keep the story simple and don’t use gruesome elements . With older kids you can decide how scary the story can be. Be aware that children in higher elementary grades will not only like their stories fairly scary and gruesome, but some might even add unexpected details to their story. Set some rules ahead of time when preparing for this type of storytelling.
No other game has held a childs’ interests for more years than the game of ‘musical chairs”. You can play a version of Halloween music and ask the kids to use behavior as spooky and scary as they know how while they race around the chairs. You can change or alter the rules depending on the kids ages . For example, for younger kids you can instruct them to walk around the chairs until the music stops. Older kids need more challenges such as making spooky faces as they walk around the chairs. Expect some interesting responses.
Kids enjoy cakewalks, but that is difficult in a school room or you could have a treat walk. Play some spooky or Halloween-themed music. Have the kids walk around in a circle as they do for other events. Have them walk on cardboard cut outs with pictures of ghosts, monsters and the like . Someone will stop the music and pull a matching picture out of a pumpkin head.
These are just a few games . You can use your imagination to create more. Ask your class to brainstorm about ideas. Children are often very creative. Need some costumes? Go here to: BUY COSTUMES ONLINE.
