Circle time is an important part of the day. Make circle time a common activity, a discussion period, a way to restore calm, and use it to announce your theme. For this Halloween theme, we suggest a drawing exhibition. Each child can draw his Halloween costume. Every day, invite a child to present his picture to the group.
Questions for your discussion period:
• What is Halloween?
• What types of activities do we enjoy on Halloween?
• What are you afraid of (dark, monsters, insects, etc.)?
• What will be your costume this year? Describe it.
• Describe a witch, a ghost, a monster...
• Do you know any Halloween safety rules?
• What does Halloween mean to you?
• Which types of candy do you prefer?
• Are there certain types of candy you do not like?
The educatall.com team suggests an imaginary game you may enjoy with your group. There are a few Halloween thematic letters in the educatall club. Print the letters and prepare a scenario. Create a special envelope (glue glitter on it) and deposit the letters inside each day. Deposit the envelope in different, easy to find areas within the daycare. Invite children to search for the envelope and read portions to them each day.
Educ-chat-Halloween
Educ-chat is a game which is made up of several different illustrations which represent subjects, verbs, and objects. They can be used to help children make complete sentences and enrich their vocabulary.
(Open educ-chat-Halloween) Print, cut out, and laminate the cards. Make three different piles (subject, verb, and object). Ask children to pick three cards, one from each pile. Have them "read" the sentence. The sentences will sometimes be quite silly but you are sure to have fun. You may also choose to place the cards yourself and have children "read" the sentences.
Halloween name tags
(Open name tags-Halloween) Print. Children can wear the name tags or use them to identify their masterpieces.
AREA SETUP

Make Halloween decorations with your group. Give each child a tree branch. Have them decorate a clean, empty can. Fill it with sand to hold the branch up. Each child will have his very own Halloween tree. You may also choose to make one large collective tree using a larger branch placed in a bucket filled with sand. The branches may be painted and you can even add sparkles. Hang all the Halloween decorations children make in the tree.
Halloween tablecloth
Purchase a paper tablecloth. Cut Halloween designs or items out of magazines and flyers. Have children glue them onto the tablecloth. You will have a perfect tablecloth for your Halloween party!
Halloween garland
Cut several strips of black and orange construction paper. Link them together, alternating colors. Hang the garland from the ceiling.
Miniature ghosts
Make a ball with one tissue and place it in the center of another tissue so it looks like a ghost head. Tie ribbon or string around the head and hang from the ceiling. Children will enjoy making several of these. They are a very simple decoration to make!
Scarecrow
Gather old clothing items (shirt, pants, shoes, hat) and stuff them with fabric or other clothing items. Use a pumpkin for a head. You can use clothing from your costume box. Sit your scarecrow on a chair indoors or outdoors.
Spiders
Join four pipe cleaners together in the center so you have eight spider legs. Attach elastic string to the middle of the body. Children will love holding the end of the string and making up and down movements to make their spider dance!

ACTIVITIES FOR BABIES
Halloween mobile
(Open educa-decorate-Halloween) Print and laminate the items. Glue them back to back on either side of a string or ribbon. Hang from the ceiling within the daycare or over your changing table.
Witch laugh
Use a tape recorder to record the babies laughing like a witch. Later in the day, play the recording for them and watch their reaction. Repeat this activity. Have children make ghost or cat sounds too.
Witch's hat
Fill a bin with several witch hats (and other kinds of hats too). Let babies try them on. Be sure to have a mirror on hand so that they can see the hats on their head. You may also want to take pictures. Print the pictures and display them.
Halloween stimulation bottles
Collect different sizes of transparent bottles and fill them with tiny erasers, confetti, candy or other Halloween objects.
Makeup
Paint each baby's face and encourage them to look at themselves in the mirror. If you are feeling adventurous...ask babies to paint your cheek or forehead. They will have so much fun!
Rolling pumpkin
Present babies with several different sizes of pumpkins. Show them how to roll the pumpkins on the floor.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND MOTOR SKILLS
Pumpkin roll
You will need one tiny pumpkin which is as round as possible. Children sit in a circle. The child holding the pumpkin says, "Roll, roll little pumpkin to Witch..." He then names a child before rolling the pumpkin his way. If you prefer, you may use an orange ball for this game.
The witch's cat
Have children bend down on their hands and knees. Tell them to arch their back, pushing their buttocks back, and inhale. Then, invite them to stand tall and exhale while meowing. You may ask them to arch their back again. This is a great stretching and relaxation exercise.
On my broom
Create a short obstacle course children can complete while holding a broom between their legs.
Color hunt
With your group, search within the daycare for objects which are white like ghosts, black like cats, or orange like pumpkins.
The pumpkin's nose
(Open game-Pumpkin) Print, laminate, and display on a wall. Blindfolded, children attempt to stick the pumpkin's nose as close to the center as possible.
Halloween lacing
(Open lacing-Halloween) Print, trace onto cardboard, and cut out. Punch holes around the edge. Children will enjoy lacing the shapes.
Pumpkin family
(Open pumpkin family) Print, cut out, and laminate the pieces. Children assemble the pumpkins by placing the pieces in the right places.
Who is the ghost?
Have children close their eyes. Drape a white sheet over one child. Children open their eyes and guess who the ghost is.
It is dark
Give each child a flashlight. Turn the lights off and close any blinds or curtains you may have to make the daycare as dark as possible. Children walk around the daycare, using their flashlight to observe various objects.
Surprise house
Purchase several glow-in-the-dark stars and moons. Glue them under a table and drape a blanket over it to create a dark hideout. Invite children to go into the hideout to find the surprise. Once each child has had a turn, stick Halloween stickers which do not glow in the dark under the table. Let children use a flashlight to discover the surprise this time around.
Transformation
Make a magic wand (wooden skewer wrapped in aluminum paper) and discuss your Halloween theme. One by one, pretend to cast spells on the children in your group. They can become bats, ghosts, black cats, witches, monsters, etc. Children can tell you which Halloween character they would like to be.
The spider web
Give each child a ball of yarn. Tie the ends in different corners of the daycare (on chairs, furniture, etc.) Children become spiders, weaving a giant spider web with their yarn, by simply unravelling it in every direction.
I have the pumpkin
Divide your group into two teams. Each group stands on a line, facing the other group. In the center of the two rows, deposit a small pumpkin. Give each team member a name (spider, bat, pumpkin, etc.) The names must be the same for both teams, for example, if there is a witch in one team, there must also be a witch in the other team. When you are ready, say one of the names. If, for example, you say "witch", the witch from each team must attempt to reach the pumpkin first. Continue the game until each child has had at least one turn.
Candy bag toss
Place five pumpkin-shaped buckets next to each other on the floor. Draw a line on the floor and give children bean bags which were previously wrapped with Halloween paper or decorated with Halloween stickers. The goal of the game is to throw the bags into the buckets. If you wish, you may also attribute a certain number of points to each bucket.
Variation: Instead of bean bags, you may also use leather bones (for dogs) to represent skeleton bones.
Halloween Twister
(Open Twister-Halloween) Print and glue the larger Halloween illustrations on the floor using adhesive paper. They should cover approximately 4 square-feet. The leader of the game picks one Halloween card and one body part card before calling out the instructions for the other players, like in the traditional Twister game. For example, he may say, "Place one foot on the cat."
Variation for younger children: The illustrations may simply be used to decorate the daycare or to practice vocabulary. You can, for example, ask children to point to the witch. You may stick the illustrations on the floor using adhesive paper, children will admire them.
The skeleton's heart
(Open skeleton) Print and assemble the pieces. You may laminate them for durability. Blindfold a child and give him a heart. Invite him to stick it on the skeleton, as close to the right spot as possible.
Pumpkin pass
Ask children to stand in a circle. They must pass a small, decorative squash around the circle, from one child to another, without using their hands. If, at any point, a child drops the squash he must go sit in the center of the circle. Once all the children are seated, start all over again!
Pumpkin gymnastics
Tell children they are pumpkins and encourage them to roll on their sides or perform somersaults. If you have a small slope, they will have even more fun!
Beware of the witch
One child (or yourself) shall dress up like a witch for this activity. As a group, children sing in the backyard (or in the daycare if you prefer). The witch must stand apart from the group (or in another room if you are indoors). After each verse, the witch answers, "I am taking my broom, I am putting my long cape on, I am adding my belt, etc." When the witch is ready, she (or he) says, "I am coming!" The witch then appears and attempts to catch the other children. Of course, children try to run out of her reach. It is important to keep in mind that some children may be genuinely afraid so be sure to end the game on a positive note. For example, after capturing a child, the witch may distribute a sticker, candy piece, etc.
While the group is waiting for the witch they may sing:
We are walking in the forest
While the witch is gone
If she were here she'd eat us right up
But she is not
Oh witch, where are you?
What are you up to?
(The witch then answers as explained above, stating one action at a time.)
Pumpkin patch
You will need several small plastic or construction paper pumpkins. Hide the pumpkins throughout the yard (or within the daycare). When you give the signal, children must collect as many pumpkins as possible. To give all the children a chance, tell them they must bring you each pumpkin they find, one at a time, before searching for another one.
Candy rain
(Open models-candy) Print and cut out enough candy pieces so that you have at least ten per child. Deposit them in the center of a parachute or large blanket. Children firmly hold the edges of the parachute. When you give the signal, they quickly raise the parachute up over their head. When the candy pieces fall to the ground, children collect as many as possible. Count how many each child collected.
Falling creatures
(Open models-creatures) Print and cut out enough creatures so that you have at least ten per child. Deposit them in the center of a parachute or large blanket. Children firmly hold the edges of the parachute. When you give the signal, they quickly raise the parachute up over their head. When the creatures fall to the ground, children collect as many as possible. Count how many each child collected.
Halloween jump
(Open Halloween shapes) Trace, cut out, and glue the shapes on the floor. Children must jump on the shapes to move around the daycare.
Musical pumpkin walk
(Open colourful pumpkins) Print, laminate, and cut out the pumpkins. Secure them on the floor (or on the ground in your backyard) to create a path. Play music and invite children to walk from one pumpkin to the next. When the music stops, name a color. The child (or children) standing on the color can pick a Halloween surprise out of a box. Make sure everyone gets at least one surprise.
Monster bowling
(Open models-monsters) Print several models and let children color them. Cut them out and glue them on empty soft drink bottles. Deposit them on the floor to form a triangle and create an original bowling game. A pumpkin will make a great bowling ball. Children will have so much fun making the monster pins fall down over and over again.
Haunted house
Make your own indoor or outdoor haunted house using chairs and blankets. Create an obstacle course throughout which children must crawl through spider webs, touch slime, etc. You may add Halloween sounds or music. Watch children's reactions closely. This fun activity may frighten younger children.
Quick and easy piñata
You will need an orange garbage bag or a large bag with Halloween designs on it. Fill it with leaves and hang it in a tree. Children will have fun hitting your "piñata" with a stick until it breaks open.
MUSICAL AND RYTHMIC ACTIVITIES
Musical pumpkin
(Open colourful pumpkins) Print and secure the pumpkins on the floor. To the sound of music, children walk around them. When the music stops, they must quickly step on a pumpkin. As the game progresses, you can remove one pumpkin per round (like musical chairs) or specify which color pumpkin children must step on, etc.
Statues
Play music and encourage children to dance around the daycare. You are a witch. When you touch a child with your magic wand, he becomes a statue. When you touch the child again, he may resume dancing.
Pumpkin sounds
Give each child two paper plates. Have them paint them with orange poster paint. Let dry. (Open pumpkin face) Print. Let children create the pumpkin's face with the pieces. Pour pumpkin seeds inside one plate and deposit the second plate on top. Staple them together. Children will love shaking their pumpkins!
Musical hat
Deposit a hat on the table. Add arts & crafts material (yarn, buttons, fabric, felt, etc.) Let children decorate the hat. When they are done, they can play a game of musical hat.
ACTIVITIES INVOLVING PARENTS

Pumpkin family
Hollow out a pumpkin with your group to explore its contents, the seeds, the textures, etc. Purchase other types of squash and compare them. Spaghetti squash are particularly interesting.
Witch hands
With your group, fill latex gloves with water, food coloring, and tiny Halloween trinkets. Tie the gloves tightly and place them in the freezer. Approximately 48 hours later, tear the gloves off to discover unique witch hands. Deposit them in a sensory bin and let children observe them as they melt away.
Magic bags
Fill several Ziploc bags with different materials (shaving cream, orange food coloring, Jell-O, pudding, hair gel, etc.) Let children manipulate and explore the textures.
Witch's brew
Deposit a large pot filled with dark juice (grape juice or fruit punch) in the center of the table.
