Happy Halloween, everyone! It’s a special time when we can dress up and have lots of fun. Let’s pretend and move like different characters together!
First, let’s be a spooky ghost. Can you move like a ghost? Say “Ghost!”
Now, let’s pretend to be a vampire. Can you flap your arms like a vampire’s cape? Say “Vampire!”
Next, let’s be a witch. Can you pretend to fly on a broomstick? Say “Witch!”
Now, let’s play a game. When I say “Freeze!”, you have to stop and stand very still. Ready? Freeze!
Let’s keep going! How about being a brave firefighter? Can you pretend to hold a hose and spray water? Say “Firefighter!”
Now, let’s be a superhero. Can you put your hands on your hips and stand tall like a superhero? Say “Superhero!”
Let’s try being a monster. Can you make a funny monster face and stomp around? Say “Monster!”
And remember, when I say “Freeze!”, you have to stop and stand very still. Ready? Freeze!
Happy Halloween to you! Remember, it’s a time for fun, dressing up, and maybe even getting some candy. Enjoy pretending and playing with your friends!
Character Parade: Organize a mini parade where each child can choose their favorite Halloween character from the lesson and dress up or use props to represent them. Encourage them to walk around and show their character’s movements, like flapping arms for a vampire or flying on a broomstick for a witch. Ask them to describe what makes their character special and how they feel when pretending to be that character.
Story Time Creation: Gather the children in a circle and create a Halloween story together. Start with a simple sentence like, “Once upon a time, on Halloween night, a spooky ghost…” and let each child add a sentence to the story. Encourage them to include the characters they learned about, such as a vampire, witch, or superhero. This activity helps them use their imagination and understand storytelling.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to look for things that remind them of Halloween, like decorations or costumes. Encourage them to think about how these things relate to the characters they pretended to be. After the walk, discuss what they observed and how it connects to the fun of Halloween.
