Handprint Art
– Trace around children’s hands and feet on white paper. Glue to black construction paper and
let children add details.
Ghost Busters
– Cut ghost shapes out of white paper.
Write letters, numerals, words, or whatever skill you want to reinforce
on the ghosts. Staple ghosts to a
bulletin board and let the children identify the information as they swat the
ghosts with a fly swatter.
*You can make a
similar game from a file folder.
Glue a hand to a craft stick and use to swat the ghosts.
Scary Things
– Halloween is a good time to talk about things that are real and things that
are pretend. It’s also helpful to
talk about things that scare us. I
always talk about things that scare me, and that usually encourages the
children to open up and talk about things that scare them. Everybody’s afraid of something, and
that’s O.K. Make a class book
called “Scary Things” where each child draws their fears and dictates or writes
a story about them.
