Circle Time

Books: The Halloween Play, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat

We played Trick or Treat memory and Halloween Bingo. I printed them out from a website online and the kids really liked playing both games, Bingo especially. It was easy - only 9 squares but just easy enough that they were interested.

Centers

Halloween costume dress-up with paper doll (and dude).

Sort the monsters eyeballs. There were 6 different colored monsters and eyeballs and each monster had a different number of eyes.

Princesses chatting on their phones.

Pretending they are in the car going to a doctor appointment.

Art

These are the glue ghosts we started on Monday. Basically you just draw an outline of a ghost on wax paper using Elmer's glue and then fill it in with more glue so you can't see the paper. Add some eyeballs an let dry over night.

Ta-Da! Super cute ghosts!
The kids role played with them for a bit today making ghost sounds and chasing each other around.

Did our letter of the week - F is for fish crackers.

Outside/Science

I'd been wanting to do this with the kids and thought what better time than Halloween? I played it off as we were going to mix a secret potion that would become ooze. We started with green food coloring first.

I told the kids to scoot back a bit because they were crowding and I didn't know how crazy it would foam up. This isn't exactly what I'd meant...

Then we added some purple coloring and did it again.

...and again.

They then went and made their own witches soup. The dump truck was filled with rain water and they kept dumping random stuff in - wood chips, leaves, dirt, whatever they could find.

Snack

Fish crackers and raisins
