1-2-3 Come Do A Few Ghostly Activities With Me
I had a request from Alma, over in California, for a few non-scary math activities, with a skeleton or ghost theme. She teaches a Hispanic group of kinders in Oakland and their Day of the Dead celebration (Dia de Los Muertos) is huge for them.
I referred her to the Numbskull math activities, as well as the Candy Bones activities, but also decided to design a few ghost -themed things as well. Cute little ghosts seemed to be a lot less scary to me than a skull, although that seems to be the prominent symbol for their holiday.
So if you too, are you looking for a few activities to plug into your Halloween party day, but still want to cover some standards, then I think you'll enjoy this cute little ghost-themed packet.
The packet includes:
Instead of the R.I.P. signifying rest in peace, I printed Really Important Person on the tombstone. Children sign their name at the top. Older students can complete the writing prompt: Things that scare me... on the back.
Children can also trace their shoe to make their ghost slider and then cut 2 slits in the center, so they can insert their "slider" strip, or simply run off my ghost template, (bottom right in the photo), choosing whatever slider you want to practice.
Well that's it for today. Thanks for visiting. Time to straighten up the toy messes happily strewn hither and yon around the house. Proof that a little pumpkin plays at Nana's house.
One of my dearest friends is coming over. We are celebrating Jude's going into remission from cancer news! Since it's Cancer Awareness Month, just want to give a shout out to all those brave people battling it, as well as those helping in and supporting the cause. Blessings all around.
