Heroween Activities

I enjoyed visiting all of the Hero-ween celebrations in the Intermediate Hall. All the students seemed to have a blast.

In Tim’s class the students worked in stations. The students were engaged in creative activities that kept them occupied and organized.  Read below for his description.

Stations:

1.      Pumpkin Painting – Students paint and decorate a mini gourd as their hero.

2.      Fall Themed Cookies – Students decorate and eat a fall themed cookie

3.      Pumpkin Bowling – Outside station where students knock down 2-liter bottles with a pumpkin

4.      Food – Students eat the normal food brought in.

5.      Fall themed Bingo – You can find online bingo board makers and use whatever words you like.  Piece of candy as a prize.

Each station rotates to the next station every 10-12 minutes.  It give them just enough time to get the activity done without belaboring it, and the kids look forward to something new each time.  You do need to have at least 5 parent volunteers, but with so many parents wanting to help or randomly showing up, it keeps them occupied.

Sandy created academic activities for 3^rd grade that were engaging and educational. She created Hero bingo and Pumpkin estimation.

·         Hero Bingo: The students wrote down the names of heroes from a master sheet on their bingo card and she called/described their accomplishment/contribution. (For example: the first person to step on the moon.)  The students used candy corn as their bingo chips.

·         Pumpkin estimation: The students worked in pairs to estimate the pumpkin’s height, circumference, number of lines, weight, and number of seeds. Then the students measured the pumpkin to check the accuracy of their estimation.

Below are the sheets that Sandy used.
