SEVEN EASY HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES TO BE DONE WITH YOUR KIDS!!!

Hello everybody! October is almost finished and one of our favorite festivals is coming: HALLOWEEN.

Have you planned what to do with your kids? if you haven't decided yet what to do, do not worry, because today I'm giving to you some great and easy ideas...

ONE: MUSICAL GAMES: 

Normally, kids love movement, action, and fun; for this reason I have chosen three musical games you can teach them in the class, before doing some crafts. Are you ready?

1.- Halloween Stomp from the famous "The Singing Walrus".

2.- Who took the candy from the trick or treat bag?: An adaptation from "Who took the cookie?" from the "Supersimple Songs".

3.-The Skeleton Dance from " Supersimple Songs"

TWO: KINDERGARDEN CRAFTS

Moreover, children need to manipulate and create, and this is what we will do with some crafts found on the website parents.com .

THREE :MONSTER RINGS

For those kids who are older, I've found a beautiful idea: Monster rings!!! Have a look at "Easy Peasy and Fun" and check all the ideas they've got HERE.

FOUR: MATCHING GAME

I'm lucky, 'cause I've found the cutest Halloween cards!! There is a matching game that you will love, and it's free! Here is the link to Simpleeverydaymom.

FIVE: HALLOWEEN PUPPETS

But of course, I have to give a special mention to The Glitter Teacher. She is amazing and she is always creating the best materials for our English lessons, and I'm sure you will choose some of her printables for this Halloween.

These Halloween puppets are gorgeous !! , don't you think so?

SIX: CLIL HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES

Then, if you want to practice maths or science, I've got a special for you.

These counting cards are really good, it's a pity it's not easy for Spanish teachers and parents to find these counters, as they're expensive and not common, but we can try with clay balls or other cardboard objects, right?These ones are from The Kindergarden Connection.

After this, I may say science is always considered on Halloween units :-D. Just have a look at this worksheet from Supplyme!!

SEVEN:  TIME FOR A HALLOWEEN RHYME!

To sum up, its well appreciated to sing and play with rhymes and Halloween is a good day to do so.

Using this free printable resource, you will let the kids create their song and rhyme and they will have lots of fun sticking the pumpkins on their place. It'll be great if you laminate it and use velcro dots for the pumpkins. 

This activity is from Totschooling, a website with loads of resources and ideas that ca be printed freely. I normally use it in my lessons and with my little child Manuel.

So, well, thats all for this Halloween, but I'm sure you will share these ideas and give me yours!!

Be good or bad but enjoy a lot!

Kisses and hugs,

Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Halloween Activities to be done in your English class!!

Hello friends!!,

I can't believe Halloween is here again!! Have you planned anything for this great festival?

I'm thinking about these three activities to be done in the  first and second course of Primary Education. Of course they can be put on practice in other levels too.

I believe my students will love them. I'd like them to participate in the lessons, so we will also sing a scary song, hahahahaha!!!

1.- Colour different scary Halloween pictures using the Whiteboard.

2.- Download the game "I Spy" and make your students guess what Halloween character you are talking about...

3.- Sing a learn a Halloween song.

I hope you all love these ideas ;). Remember to share the link, please!!

Have a scary and special Halloween Party!!

Love,

Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

MY HALLOWEEN WORD CLOUD!!!

 31st of October comes in some weeks, so we should be ready for Halloween.

As I love Halloween, I've decided to use a Word Cloud in my class.

It's one of the best ways of teaching Vocabulary and new words to my students.

Have a look at the  Halloween Cloud and start thinking about what you are going to do on your Halloween lessons.

Be happy and be careful with the ghosts and vampires!!!

A different bat :P HALLOWEEN!!!

Dear readers,
Today I've found something different. It's nice to make art and crafts with our students, specially in these festivals ( Halloween).


Have a look at this LINK and try to do something similar with your children, ok?


Kisses,
Daniela A. Ayala M.


Tan sólo echando un vistacillo a las imágenes que veréis en el link, os podréis hacer a la idea de lo fácil que es hacer este graciosillo murciélago de halloween.
En España, me temo que será difícil encontrar calabazas tan chiquitas, a no ser que las sembremos nosotros mismos,je,je,je.
Por ello, se me ha ocurrido cambiar la calabaza por una mandarina, que dicho sea de paso, están a la orden del día en estas fechas.


¡Un abrazo super especial de Halloween para todos mis amigos!

Let's be pumpkins!!!Happy halloween! :-)

It's so nice to celebrate Halloween... and it's more enjoyable when you see how people and children participate on this party...

I'm very happy today, because all my students have had fun and learned a halloween song and chant.

Also, it's interesting to make them part of it, singing the song we have learnt to the rest of the groups.

I did it these days, and it was fantastic!!!

I've found a beautiful present for you all, have a look at it and... let's be pumpkins on halloween!!!

Smile and have fun,
