3 Halloween Ideas
- Orange-themed day – If you still want to celebrate Halloween without planning an elaborate party, you can have an orange-themed day. Students can wear orange, you can decorate with all things orange, and you can encourage students to bring orange foods for lunch or snack!
- What my teacher should be for Halloween – Give your studdents a picture of you have them pick what you should be for Halloween. They will draw your costume and then write a few sentences about it. I took their costume ideas and turned it into a class book that they loved reading all year!
- Candy Estimation Jar – Put candy corn or other small pieces of candy in a jar. Have students guess the number of candy pieces in the jar. You could put different sizes together and have students guess for multiple jars.
