Then allow the students to walk around the classroom feeling inside the boxes and trying to guess what each object is. Stand at the door and as each student enters say "Happy Halloween!" and have them reply "Happy Halloween". Have everyone wait outside the classroom until it is time to go in.
When the students put their hands they will get a big surprise when their hand is grabbed! If you can get someone to help you, put another hole in the back of the box and have someone hide behind the box (covered under a blanket) and put their hand through the hole. Inside the boxes place some "Halloween" type objects which you can pick up in discount stores, party stores and supermarkets, such as:
You can even put on a flap material to cover the hole to stop prying eyes. Of course, being Halloween, the objects inside the boxes are going to be creepy! Prepare the boxes by cutting a hole in one side, just large enough to put your arm through. These are going to hide things that the students have to feel and guess what they are. This is great fun and you can have a fancy dress party during the lesson with prizes for best, scariest, funniest, etc.Ģ.Ğnter the room and play "Feel in the Boxes"īefore class, prepare some cardboard boxes. in a previous lesson ask students (or their parents) to come to this lesson in Halloween fancy dress.dress up as a Halloween character (if possible, one of the characters you are teaching in this lesson).hang decorations around the classroom, such as bats and ghost crafts (if you do with other classes you can build up the decorations as you do crafts each lesson).have some eerie music playing in the background.
