I want to know, what are your Halloween traditions for homeschooling during Halloween? What are your favorite Halloween Activities for Kids? Let me know in the comments below.
Thank you! I too love themed sections! Special thanks for the books as well!
Heya.
This is my own tale in order to begin with. I first of all took a look at what I could find in the local shops. I made some brief summary notes. I am also hoping to make pumpkin pie and black and orange cupcakes as well. The children have been hard at work doing more research and practicing art skills. They have even prepared a mini Halloween poem. Good luck.
And they now learnt why we prefer to use black and orange. Next week we are at a mini Halloween party. I have come up with a fancy dress competition and a themed timed quiz to include. I also will make the party food and serve black and orange soft drinks on a tray at the bash. Ideas for fun party games needed please.
