Halloween Fun

We celebrated Halloween on our Thursday class this year, with lots of festive activities and our family fall program.

Haunted Houses
What is inside your haunted house? After reading Ghosts in the House, the children used various loose parts to fill these haunted houses. This activity supports counting and sorting, along with fine motor and one-to-one correspondence. 




Ghosts Sensory Bin
The floating ghosts in this water bin also had different feelings faces, 
to open up conversations about what different feelings might look like. 

Melting Potions
This sensory bin was set up for some potions play and melting exploration, with icy Jack-o-Lanterns.


I set it up in a smaller bin for the morning class, but moved it to the larger bin for the next class because it was so popular!


Spider Play
We also had a little bit of spider play. We did more spider activities the following week, but I was hoping these would hep to spark the children's interest. 


I always enjoy celebrating Halloween with this age group. I never have enough class time to fit in all of the fun learning activities that can be integrated within a spooky theme.
