Trick or Treating Fun

Zebras and Their Spooky Surprise

The zebras have a special plan. They want to give all their friends a little fright. But don’t worry, it’s all in good fun! When they go trick or treating, they get to say “Boo!” to everyone. It’s their way of joining in the Halloween fun.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween at the zoo is a magical time. The animals love to play and have fun just like you. So, when you go trick or treating, remember to have fun and maybe give a friendly “Boo!” too. Happy Halloween!

Learning About Animals

Did you know that zebras have stripes to help them hide in the grass? Each zebra has its own special pattern, just like how you might have your own special costume for Halloween!

Fun Activity

Why not draw your favorite animal in a Halloween costume? Maybe a lion with a witch’s hat or a monkey with a superhero cape. Use lots of colors and have fun!

  • What is your favorite animal, and how would you dress it up for Halloween? Can you think of a fun costume for it?
  • Have you ever been to a zoo? What animals did you see, and what do you think they would do if they celebrated Halloween?
  • Why do you think zebras have stripes, and how do you think their stripes help them in the wild? Can you think of any other animals that have special patterns or colors?
  1. Animal Costume Parade: Organize a mini parade where each child can dress up as their favorite animal. Encourage them to think about what kind of Halloween costume their animal might wear. For example, a zebra could wear a magician’s hat, or a giraffe might have a superhero cape. After the parade, ask each child to share why they chose that animal and costume combination.

  2. Stripe Patterns Exploration: Provide children with black and white paper strips to create their own zebra stripe patterns. Discuss how each zebra has a unique pattern, just like how each child has their own unique costume. Encourage them to observe patterns around them in everyday life, such as on clothing or in nature.

  3. Question Time: Ask the children to think about why animals might want to dress up for Halloween. What do they think the animals enjoy about Halloween? Encourage them to share their thoughts and relate them to their own experiences of dressing up and having fun.

Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
