Welcome to our Family blog. It will try to capture the various asundry activities of our mundane lives, but with an attempt at making it seem not quite so mundane.

Halloween Activities and Games

Here are a few of the websites that we used for our Halloween activities.

We printed out a Ghost Counting Board Game to play (at the bottom of the
list), but she also has wonderful math, color, size, shape, and letter
activities:

We have had lots of fun playing Halloween bingo and dominoes (but you
can choose lots of other themes instead if you want to play these games
with numbers, letters, shapes, animals, time, etc.)

We enjoyed the skeleton game. Print out multiple copies of a skull,
body, arms & legs and be the first to complete the skeleton:
For a 6, take a skull
For a 5, take a body
For a 3 or a 4, take a leg
For a 1 or a 2, take an arm

We painted a pumpkin and made our own jack-o-lanterns (gluing on eyes,
nose and mouth). There are some other good ideas for the
preschool/kindergarten crowd at this website

Delenn and Logan have enjoyed the Halloween Alphabet Book we printed
out: http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/go/wil/A_Halloween_Alphabet.pdf

We also bought a set of 4 really cute minibooks on the history of
Halloween, spiders, bats and pumpkins for $1.99 but the website isn't
working so I can't post the link to that. Logan and Delenn have enjoyed
reading them, so they were worth the small cost (we're using them as
part of our Halloween lapbook/unit).
