Halloween Practice
How honed are your kids' Halloween skills?
ADDED October 28, 2009
Length: Ten to fifteen minutes.
Parental Involvement: "Interview" your kids about Halloween creatures.
Kids Should Be Able to: Use their imagination and bodies. Be silly. Enjoy Halloween.
As you may possibly have heard, Halloween is coming. It's this Saturday, in fact.
Are your kids ready?
We're not asking whether your kids' costumes are made, and we're not wondering if their trick-or-treating plans are made. Actually, we're wondering more about their Halloween abilities. How ready are your kids' Halloween skills?
Can your kids growl like a werewolf?
Can they make a face like a witch?
Can they do a zombie walk?
There's only one way to learn the answers to these questions: ask your kids. Have them try.
Today, we'd like you to "interview" your kids about Halloween. There are no right and wrong answers, but rather many opportunites for fun and creativity. (And yes, perhaps a little silliness.)
For any given Halloween creature, your kids could make (1) a noise, (2) a face, and (3) some movement.
Explain that to your kids, and have them start acting Halloween-ish.
Can your kids laugh like a vampire?
Can they make a monster face?
Can they flap their wings like a bat?
Use our "Halloween words" print out or link if you want ideas with which to prompt your kids.
But beware! Your kids might start testing *your* Halloween skills. Now that might sound a little bit scary!
