Halloween School Party

Jared's 1st grade Class

The kids' school has a costume parade and some class parties on Halloween. The kids love it. Jared's teacher asked me to help her out by coming up with a game for the class to play for 1/2 hour. I read about a game online and I made a ghost costume out of a flat white sheet and some scraps of black material.

One student leaves the classroom to stand out in the hallway. Another stood hides under the ghost costume. All of the kids switch places so they are not sitting in their own desks and then the child out in the hallway comes back into the classroom and tries to guess who is under the sheet. The kids loved it! They also had cookies, their pumpkin seeds and juice.

Caitlin's teacher said they were too old for parties (I'm rolling my eyes here, how can you be too old for a party??) but, she enjoyed dressing up with her classmates anyhow!

The parade is around the back field of the school. I'm not sure how many kids are in the school but, my guess is over 600. It was fun to see all of the costumes! The teachers dress up too and their costumes can be very creative.
