Halloween Party Ideas
Now that you have ideas for your classroom door decorations, it's time to plan what you'll do for your Halloween party! One of my favorite ways to celebrate was to set up my classroom to look like a haunted house. I set up 8 different stations around the room for the students to visit. Each station represented a different room in the haunted house!
Students visited the haunted kitchen to make witch's brew, the spooky attic to measure monsters, and visited ghosts in the graveyard! It's a super fun and creative way to make your Halloween party both educational and fun! Head over here to see everything we did during our party.
