For our first period of Halloween festivities, we did some scary story writing and agamographs. What are agamographs you might ask? Well, they are pictures that make no sense when looking straight on, but when you fold them accordion style, you see one picture when you look from one angle, and a different picture when you look from the opposite angle. Like, I said, I totally spaced on getting pictures while working on the activity, and most people took theirs home with them, so here's some pics of the demo I made:
For the second period of Halloween fun, we read some of the scary stories that we had written in the first class, and also read some other spooky stories to get us in the Halloween mood. The other option people had, was to make some Halloween themed strip collages. Again, I forgot to take any pictures (face palm), so here is my demo again.
Now, we're getting to the really fun part of the day- treats and games! Quite a few people brought treats to share- we tried to space them out a bit throughout the afternoon so we wouldn't be too overloaded with sugar, but we were still a bit hyped up. We had a fun fishing game for mystery prizes, and a game where they rolled a spooky die (a die with spooky pictures on it instead of numbers) to get a prize from the corresponding bag. There were a lot of small fidget toys, mini games, and art supplies to be won, and everyone had a ball!
We took our annual Halloween picture for those that dressed up, not everyone dressed up, but of those that did, we had some pretty great costumes!
