Do you want to have some fun and try to scare a ghost? Halloween is the perfect time to do it! But first, you need to find a ghost.
If you still can’t find a ghost, keep your eyes open while you do more Halloween activities, even at school! Ghosts love bobbing for apples, cupcakes, games, and glitter.
Still no ghost? Don’t worry! Try making scary sounds like witches, owls, and spooky ghost noises.
Yay, you found one! But wait, is it a real ghost or just a kid in a costume?
Great, your ghost is real! Now, let’s get scary!
Your ghost might say ghosts aren’t scared of anything, but if it gets too scary, help your ghost calm down with a warm cup of cider and promise no more scary things. Instead, play together!
It’s almost time to trick or treat! Your ghost might want a costume too.
Remember, a ghost in a costume can be seen by everyone, but don’t worry—your parents will just think you made a new friend!
Ghosts don’t know about trick-or-treating, so share your tips:
Remind your ghost not to float too high—oh no, no feet!
Now wish everyone a happy Halloween!
Ghost Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or school and look for things that might attract a ghost, like scarecrows or spooky decorations. Draw a picture of your favorite spooky spot and imagine what kind of ghost might visit there. Share your drawing with a friend and tell them why you think a ghost would like it.
Ghost Costume Creation: Use craft materials like paper, markers, and fabric scraps to create a ghost costume for a doll or stuffed animal. Think about what your ghost might want to dress up as for Halloween. Is it something scary or funny? Show your creation to the class and explain why you chose that costume.
Spooky Sound Experiment: With the help of an adult, make different spooky sounds using household items. Try making ghostly noises with a sheet of paper or a spooky wind sound by blowing across the top of a bottle. Record your sounds and play them back to see if they would scare a ghost. Discuss which sound was the spookiest and why.

**How to Scare a Ghost**
By Gene Reagan
Illustrated by Lee Wildish
Do you want to scare a ghost? The easiest and spookiest time to try is Halloween! First, you have to find one.
**How to Attract a Ghost:**
– Hide scarecrows in your yard.
– Tangle up the porch.
– Carve creepy pumpkins.
Still no ghost? Keep your eyes wide open while you do more Halloween activities, even at school! Ghosts can’t resist bobbing for apples, cupcakes, games, and glitter.
Still no luck? Don’t give up! Try making scary sounds: witches, owls, and eerie ghostly noises.
Yes, you found one! But is this ghost real or just a kid in a costume?
**How to Tell if a Ghost is Real:**
– Instead of walking, ghosts float.
– They never open doors.
– Only kids and cats can see ghosts; they’re invisible to grown-ups and dogs.
Okay, your ghost is real! Time to get scary!
– Pop out with your scariest face.
– Make a gigantic monster shadow.
– Read spooky, creepy stories.
Your ghost might say ghosts aren’t scared of anything, except… uh-oh, too scary! Help your ghost calm down with a cup of warm cider and promise no more scary things. Instead, play together!
**How to Play with a Ghost:**
– Take turns riding piggyback.
– Put on a magic show.
– Scare other people just a little bit.
**What Not to Play with the Ghost:**
– Jumping on a trampoline (no bounces!).
– Seesaw (when a ghost plops down, it doesn’t even budge!).
– Hide and seek (ghosts are too good at hiding!).
It’s almost time to trick or treat! Your ghost probably wants a costume too.
**How to Choose a Costume:**
– Be your favorite thing: a soccer ball, a sparkly red robot, or a banana.
– Be something scary: a skeleton, a witch, or even a vacuum cleaner.
– Team up together and be a traffic light or three superheroes.
Remember, a ghost in a costume can be seen by everyone, but don’t worry—your parents will just think you made a new friend!
Ghosts will know nothing about trick-or-treating, so share your tips:
**How to Trick or Treat:**
– Don’t go through doors.
– Knock and yell “trick or treat!”
– Then say as fast as you can, “Thank you very much, goodbye!” and zoom to the next house.
Remind your ghost not to float too high—oh no, no feet!
Now wish everyone a happy Halloween!
