But Halloween, with its scary side, holds a special attraction for children. A Halloween class party, with the usual Halloween candy as prizes, is exciting for children of all ages. How about a 'cat walk' for young children. Create a pathway around the room. Place paper cats along the path. All of the cats are white except one black cat. Children walk the patch as music plays. When the music stops, whoever is on the black cat wins. Kids love to dance. Have them make up their own dance steps to the 'Monster Mash'. Then get everyone involved in making up names for their dances. The 'mummy' game is great fun. Divide the kids into groups of 3 or 4. Each group selects one member to be the mummy. The others then see how fast they can wrap their mummy in toilet paper (bring lots of toilet paper). The team that completes wrap-up first wins. Then the mummies compete to see who can unwrap themselves the fastest. While the game is being played, enhance the atmosphere with 'Monster Mash' or similar music. For a story game have all the kids form a circle. Then have them make up a spooky story. You begin it with the time-honored phrase "It was a dark and stormy night". Each child then adds a sentence to the story. You may have to act as moderator. Older children tend to get gruesome. It is a good idea to set boundaries ahead of time. Another story game is done in groups. Form the children into small groups. Each group picks one person to be the writer. The children then make up a scary story. Give them a short time limit. Once the stories are written, have them turned in. Ask for volunteers to read each story, using as much dramatization as his imagination allows. The children vote for the best story and the best reader. A game done at the desk is to give the children a list of scary words. Have each child write a short story using all of the words. Then have the children pass the story to another child. Each child now writes a sentence or two to change the ending of the story. Have volunteers read some stories to the class. The black box always excites children. A cardboard box, painted black, with an opening only large enough for a child's hand, is used. The child reaches in to grab an object which she gets to keep. Any Halloween-related item can be used but be sure to include squishy items like gummy worms.
Slide 2: Besides candy prizes, there are many other prize items that can be purchased inexpensively. These include felt Halloween sucker covers, jumping spiders, Jack-o-lantern goody bags and balloons, Halloween pencils, paper pirate eye patches, monster tatoos, goofy teeth, Halloween bookmarks, necklaces and eraser tops. May this be the best Halloween party yet! R J Meyer has varied interests including organic gardening, rock collecting, antiquing and holidays.
