Activity Ideas:
Enter for Enchanting Spells
Tell your child to imagine that the door to their room casts an enchanting spell on all who enter. Do they
want to make people dance? All who enter will develop dancing talents. Do they love to read? Stacks of
books will rain down in the room. Create a door sign for their room that warns every one of the magical
powers that transform all who enter. You can cover the door with plain wrapping paper, then draw
decorations and write words that express what others need to know about these magical spells.

Monster Feet
(Sung to: Jingle Bells)
Monster Feet, Monster Feet
They are so much fun!
Monster Feet, Monster Feet
Watch out here they come!
Monster Feet, Monster Feet
Stomping all around.
Monster Feet, Monster Feet
Monster Feet fall down!

Cotton Ball Ghost Pin
Pull and manipulate one cotton ball into a ghost shape and glue two googly eyes to it. Use a looped
piece of masking tape (rolled sticky side out) to attach to clothes.

Great party idea, start a circle ghost story! Sit in a circle and start a scary ghost story. Each guest adds
on to the story until it reaches a scary ending!

Carve a Jack-o-lantern

Play ghost with old sheet.

Decorate yourself for Halloween!! Paint Halloween nails in black and orange or candy corn colors.

Tie or sew glow-sticks to your child's costume so they can be seen more easily in the dark. You can also
use reflective tape.

For a simple party game, buy a bunch of mini pumpkins and play "find the pumpkins". Hide them all over
the house and yard and the person who finds the most wins a prize!

I'm Dreaming Of The Great Pumpkin
(Sung to: I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas)
I'm dreaming of the Great Pumpkin
Just like I do this time each year
When he brings nice toys to good girls and boys
Who wait for him to appear.
I'm dreaming of the Great Pumpkin
With every pumpkin card I write.
May your jack-o-lanterns burn bright
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight.

Poem
Pumpkin, pumpkin, round and fat,
Turn into a Jack-o'Lantern - Just like that!

Mr. Pumpkin  
Sung to:  Where is Thumbkin)
Mr. Pumpkin, Mr. Pumpkin,
Eyes so round, eyes so round
Halloween is coming, Halloween is coming
To my town, to my town.

You make me Smile

"Wow, Marcia! You have a really great site
there! I can't believe I've never seen it
before. Great job!"
Tami


"I have had the opportunity during the past
30 minutes to navigate through your
fantastic website.  Your website is
extremely easy to navigate and has some
very informative, interesting ideas on it.  As
a matter of fact, I have just printed out
some fine motor activities and math
activities as resources for our primary staff.
 Marcia really has encompassed all
elements of an early primary curriculum
into her website.  Personally, I think she's
done a well thought out, clearly defined,
innovative and interesting website."
Cheryl

"Thanks a lot Marcia. Great ideas and
great site. Really helpful. My kids at school
enjoyed the themes and activities I used
from here. Once again thanks."
Elena


"Hi Marcia!  I hope you will continue your
good work. I own two of your books, Snow
and Spring Daze. I found them very
helpful."   
Loida   

"Thanks for the fun ideas!  I am excited to
do these with my group!"
