Last of Fall/Halloween

Mondays Schedule

Books - The Biggest Pumpkin surprise Ever
I finally got a couple Halloween books:)

Movement -Mummies and Ghost Rockets
The kids were given toilet paper and we took turns wrapping each other up.  It was so much fun!  Then they played in the scraps for a while.
I aslo blew up white balloons and drew faces on them.  Then taped a cut straw to the bottom.  Strung yarn across the room.  Threaded the yarn throw the straw and let go of the ballon.  The kids loved watching the ghost go!  After a few times doing that.  I just blew up their balloons and let them play.  A fun morning!

Numbers - Pumpkin Seed Counting
Each kid was given two pictures of a pumpkin.  they took turns rolling the dice.  They named what number it landed on and then glued that many pumpkin seeds to their pumpkins.  We did this until we ran out of pumpkin seeds.

Arts/Craft - Candy Corn and Spiders
I cut out small pieces of paper colors - yellow, orange and white.  Beforehand I drew a shape of a candy corn on black paper.  Then had them fill in the different levels with the different colors to make it look like a candy corn.
I also wanted to make spiders.  The kids stamped their hands in black ink and I helped them stamp on paper so it looked like a spider.  Then I let them add as many goggly eyes as they wanted.

Game - Glow in the Dark Ring Toss
I got glow in the dark necklaces.  We pulled them out and went up to Clifton's dark room.  And tossed  them onto a cone.  The kids LOVED this one.

Wednesdays Schedule -

Books - Max and Ruby Halloween

Movement - Pumpkin or Ghost
Had a bag filled with paper pumpkins that have letters on them but a few had a picture of a ghost. We sat in a circle and took turns pulling out a paper. If it was a letter then they had to make the sound of that letter. If it was a ghost they pretended to be ghosts as they danced around their chairs and then sat back down. Clifton didn't want this game to stop.

Numbers - Monster Guts
 I had a bowl with noodles, grapes, and numbers mixed in it. I taped a monster face to the top of the bowl. They had to reach in the monsters mouth and pull out a number. Then would jump that many times. The grape eye balls were their favorite part.

Arts/Craft - Frankenstein Sun Catchers
Kathryn cut out Frankenstein on contact paper beforehand.  The kids covered the contact paper with green tissue paper.  They turned out super cute!

Game - Duck, Duck, Goose
