HALLOWEEN PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN

1. Kids Halloween Invitations

If you decide to host a Halloween-themed children's party at your home, try to send out invitations as early as possible. For two or even three weeks. Firstly, this is necessary so that your guests can think carefully about their costume (after all, a Halloween costume is an extremely important attribute!). Secondly, for you, as the event organizer, knowing the exact number of guests is essential as the starting point for the entire celebration. It depends on the number of children what kind of entertainment you offer, in which room you organize a reception, and even how many sweets you need to buy for the holiday.

And for an invitation card, you can use one of our ideas:

Bat Halloween Invitation

To make something similar at home, you will need: colored paper (black), scissors, and reflective (neon) paint.

Invitationon Halloween"Owl"

This version of the invitation card is a little more difficult to make. To make an owl, you will need to prepare three templates: a torso with a head, a right wing and a left wing (since the wings of a night bird will be movable with us). We draw the details of the owl on thick black cardboard. Then - we fasten the wings to the body with the help of miniature metal nails. We write the text of the invitation with reflective paint (you can even use a real pen if you know how to use it), pack it in an A6 envelope and send it to your guests.

Invitationon Halloween"Pumpkin"

This version of the invitation card is also not too complicated to make. For a postcard, you need: half a sheet of A4 cardboard (orange, yellow), a couple of meters of finishing tape for suits, blouses (also orange, for the mouth and nose of a pumpkin), a piece of bright orange fleece (from it, using ordinary scissors, we will cut pumpkin body). We glue all the details with ordinary PVA glue.

Regarding the accompanying text, everything is also simple here: invite the children to listen horror stories, taste sweets, have fun and see the miracles that certainly happen on the eve of All Saints' Day.

And the bat, and the owl, and the pumpkin are cute, harmless attributes of a children's Halloween that can neither cause psychological trauma nor scare. And the philosophy of the holiday of Spirits in such postcards is on the face!

2. Decorations and decor for Halloween at home or school

Here are some amazing ideas that, if you manage to recreate them to the fullest in practice, will create a unique atmosphere of a childish fear room in your home:

- Artificial fog for Halloween

Twilight, gray haze of fog, burning eyes of a pumpkin around ... The blood runs cold in the veins!

Artificial fog can be made as follows. Place buckets half-full of water around the house. And then - add dry ice (there should be enough water in the buckets to cover the dry ice). Proportion: 2 parts water: 1 part ice. If there is warm water in the buckets, create a dense curtain of fog; if it is cold, create a light, illusory haze.

The only "but"! Dry ice is very hazardous to health! Place buckets of water so that they are at a safe distance (height) from the place of children's games and entertainment.

- Tulle Ghosts

Remember the charming, sweet, kind ghost of Casper - the main character of the cartoon of the same name? What about Lizuna from Ghostbusters? A similar, not at all terrible miracle, you can do it yourself!

For "ghosts" you will need: white balloons of different sizes (they need to be inflated with helium), tulle (or a small old sheet), a black marker. Cover the balloon with a cloth and draw a cute face with a black marker. The ghost is ready to celebrate Halloween with you!

- DIY window stickers

Black cats, bats, pumpkins and spiders will peep out of the windows of your house like New Year's snowflakes, in the light of the soft fire of candles and street lamps.

You can make them from thick cardboard or felt. To enhance the "terrifying" effect will help the light source, which must be placed near the window, so that the silhouettes of Halloween can be clearly seen from the street.

- Pumpkins for Halloween

Pumpkin is an obligatory attribute of the night on the eve of All Saints' Day. To make cute faces and light candles inside is a must for everyone who is not indifferent to Halloween.

- Scarecrow for Halloween

A straw scarecrow with a pumpkin head will become a reliable guardian of your house and yard from the influence of real evil forces, and will cause a lot of positive emotions among your little guests.

- Halloween Table Decor

Pumpkin is a great decoration for holiday table. The tablecloth - the basis of the festive serving can be taken in classic black or orange colors, and then decorate the overall composition with cobwebs with spiders, etc. In addition, on this day it is better to serve dishes in black dishes, use black napkins.

In the decor for children's Halloween, it is better to avoid characters with bloody wounds, sharp vampire fangs, etc.

3. Children's Halloween costumes

Costumes should also be chosen without a sharply negative semantic coloring. Cute little witches, or - close to the ethnic understanding of Russian Koschey the Immortal - exactly what you need!

Let me tell you one little secret. On Halloween, you can reanimate old New Year's costumes. For example, my daughter was at the New Year's masquerade - Strawberry. Red and green (and these colors are very relevant for the holiday of spirits) - they were present in her costume. We put on black tights under it (adding a little gloom would not hurt) and made a festive make-up (in the style of Halloween - we drew a spider with a cobweb on the cheek). All! Look what a miracle!

But this pumpkin girl in general is a symbol of the whole holiday!

On this day, the costumes of chickens, dragons, superheroes, sweets, sweets and birds (for the smallest participants of the holiday) will be very relevant!

4. Halloween souvenirs

I recently returned from the States, so there is a tradition according to which children in carnival costumes go from house to house, sing songs, tell all sorts of stories, and for this the owners give them a lot of sweets, gingerbread and other souvenirs. I remembered our tradition of being generous under the Old New Year. Russian children (especially in the countryside) also go from house to house, playing all sorts of funny scenes.

Here are a few interesting ideas treats, small gifts for children on the eve of All Saints' Day.

Candy on a stick - ghosts

Rag puppets

Gingerbread "Pumpkin Smile"

It’s just that the costume itself (which the kids wear with such pride!) Is worth it to thank for it with something delicious. And if the child also tried to learn and tell something, be sure to put a gift in his basket!

HALLOWEEN CONTESTS AND GAMES

1. Games and entertainment for Halloween

Game 1. Pack the mummy Props: toilet paper and stopwatch. Children are divided into two teams - "mummies" and "priests". In one minute, the priests must wrap the "mummies" in a shroud. Whoever has more of the "body" of the mummy will be covered with toilet paper, he won!

Game 2. Web Props: a ball of yarn with a surprise hidden inside. The essence of the game: unravel the ball and get to the surprise. But you need to do this so that the thread does not get tangled and does not turn into a web!

Game 3. Steal the pumpkin Props: 15 small pumpkins, timer. From 8 to 15 children can participate in the game. The essence of the game: Before the start of the competition, you must install all the pumpkins in the middle of the room. Then - divide the children into 4 teams (start for each team in one of the 4 corners of the room). At the go-ahead of the leader of the "march", one participant from each team runs to the middle of the room for pumpkins. When one participant returns, the second one runs. When the pumpkins in the middle of the room run out, the fun begins! Participants can go out one by one from the team, and "steal" one pumpkin from the opponent. Whichever team manages to collect the most pumpkins in 5 minutes wins..

Executioner: Halloween time is the time to throw off the burden of worries and fuss accumulated over the summer. Today, we follow the example of trees that are shedding their outdated leaves. After all, if a tree does not throw off dead leaves, they will not give it the opportunity to come to life again in the spring.

Death: Halloween dates back far, far in history and is said to be at least two thousand years old. According to ancient belief, it is tonight that the door to the other world will open, and the inhabitants of hell will penetrate the earth.

Witch: Going to another time is not easy. The gate is well guarded. We Witches and Demons legitimized this holiday for especially evil and dark jokes.

The orchestra plays 2-3 catchy melodies. At this time, the presenters invite the audience to dance, and also go around the hall and distribute ivy sheets to everyone, explaining that they have to guess and everyone must take them for themselves.
Three leaders come out - the Executioner, Death, the Witch.

Executioner: So, we begin Halloween divination!

Death: Everyone needs to make a wish! Guessed? Did everyone guess?

Witch: Women are the first to guess! Get your ivy leaves! Everyone raised a leaf!
It is necessary to say loudly after me:
"Ivy, ivy, I love you,
I keep you on my chest."
Hiding a leaf on the chest!
Let's keep repeating!
"The first one to speak to me,
That husband will be mine."
The result of divination will be known literally within one dance.

The orchestra plays one slow tune.

Witch: Women were the first to guess and the first to know the result!

Executioner: And we are starting Halloween divination for men! Men, take out your papers and write your names and phone numbers on them. You do not need to indicate your last name, place of work, marital status, only your first name and phone number! Give us your papers!

The Witch and the Executioner are collecting leaves!

Death: So, all the leaves are collected! In order to look into the future of our men, you will have to wait a bit, the result will not be as fast as that of women! The leaves will be stored in our café until Midsummer Eve. If by that time the leaf is still green, you will have a happy year and all your wishes will come true. Men!

After the game, prizes are awarded to the winners - a girl and a boy.

Executioner: You are celebrating a wedding this year, so a wedding cake from a cafe ... (cafe name) will be very useful!

The witch brings out the "wedding" cake. The orchestra plays 2-3 melodies.

Executioner: As we found out, several weddings will be celebrated this year, and our next game is for those who are already swimming in the sea of ​​love.

Death: We invite couples to come to the site!

Spouses come out, line up, respectively, in pairs.

Witch: Now you will swim in a dance on the sea of ​​love. But as soon as the music stops, you need to stand on one of these "islands".

Leading conduct the game "Sea of ​​Love". They show and lay out “islands” (sheets of paper), the number of “islands” is equal to the number of playing pairs. The music turns on. While the music is playing, all players “swim” in the “sea of ​​love” without entering the islands. As soon as the music abruptly turns off, couples should instantly jump “on the islands”. It turns out that there are two players on one island. The islands are cut to size so that only two feet can fit on them. Therefore, couples stand almost close to each other, each on one leg, holding each other. The one who cannot stay on the island and falls into the "sea" will be "absorbed by the sea", i.e., he is out of the game (and takes the island with him). The game continues. There is one less island, which means that again someone will not be able to resist and fall into the sea. The last remaining pair is awarded a prize (souvenir).

The orchestra plays 2-3 melodies.

The game "Bows" is being played. Three or more players participate. In the middle, the main player becomes, let's start with the girl. The other two players are blindfolded. For example, men. One of them is given yellow ribbons in his hands. He should go up to the girl with his eyes closed and tie a yellow bow on her anywhere. Now the second man comes up to her, fumbles for the yellow bow, and unties it. Then the players change places - the girl ties a bow. And so on, until everyone has tried all the roles.

The "Symbol of the Holiday" contest is being held: yellow is considered the symbolic color of the Halloween holiday, we find among the guests the one in whose suit the most yellow is.
(The prize is a bottle of Champagne.)

The party ends with dancing, you can hold the contest "Best dancing couple".

Fun announcements during the party:

Witch: There was a man who really wanted to take a picture with me. The cost of a photo is 13 rubles, 28 kopecks.
(repeat 2 times).

Death: Who wants to talk heart to heart with Death - welcome to my table.
(repeat 4 times)

Executioner: Who wants to sing a love song with me? It is inexpensive - only 10 rubles.
Who wants me to sing a love song? It is inexpensive - only 10 rubles.

Witch: To celebrate a special holiday for the dead - doesn't that seem strange to you? After all, there are so many different holidays for the living, why not save one day for the memory of those who died? Many ancient people believed that on some nights of the year, the spirits of the dead return to earth and wander.

Leading: More than one people had a hand in Halloween. The pagans, the Celts, brewed all this festive mess. They lived in what is now Great Britain and Ireland. And every year on November 1, they celebrated the birthday of Samhain, an unsympathetic deity - the lord of the dead and the prince of darkness. And at the same time they celebrated the new year and the arrival of winter. On this night, druids - Celtic priests, and part-time also astronomers, scientists, musicians, poets and healers - gathered in an oak grove and burned bonfires. And in the morning they gave people burning coals. The Celts believed that if you kindle a hearth from such a coal, the fire will warm all winter.

Witch: The November holiday of Samhain also had a secret magical meaning - to slightly open the Gates to the Future and the Past. The gate was guarded by witches and demons. Smelling the appetizing smell of the sacrificial fire of the druids, this hungry evil spirits squeezed into our world through a crack opened in the Gate. Who will turn into a black cat, who will turn into a headless ghost. I had to prepare a treat for them - to appease

Many people think that Halloween is not a children's holiday. In some countries it is banned altogether. Well, we will let the children arrange a fun masquerade on this day, which, according to the scenario for children on Halloween, turns out to be not at all scary.

Halloween script. Room decoration:

• Pumpkin is the main symbol of the holiday with carved eyes and mouth.
• Paper bats.
• Posters on the walls with inscriptions: “Be careful - you can be eaten”, “Dear guests, please do not bite!”, “Come to our swamp - we will eat a hippopotamus”, etc.
• A web made of paper or woven from ropes (you can plant a toy spider).
• Orange and black air balloons with painted faces of "ghosts"
• From cardboard or thick paper, you can cut out the bones of the skeleton and pin them to the curtains with pins.

Halloween script. Characters:

1. Baba Yaga and Kikimora (Leshy) are the parents and hosts of the performances.

2. Witches and devils are guests.

• Witch-Miss Bald Mountain. Some kind of feather, clippings from magazines, beads are glued onto the hat.
• A witch taking sweets from children. On the hat - wrappers from sweets, ice cream, chocolates, etc.
• A witch that scares children in their sleep. A caricature image of a screaming ghost is glued onto the hat.
• The witch is a lover of wild animals. On the hat are toy mice, snakes, a frog, a spider, etc.
• Lost witch. There are patches on the hat, beads hang on the ears.

3. The devils have the same masks, but the characters are different:

• braggart
• Brawler Devil

Halloween script. Arrival of guests:

You need to prepare the props in advance " Business Cards”, on which the roles are written, put them in a big hat.

Each arriving guest, without looking, pulls out a "business card" with his role for the evening. Kikimora helps him put on the right mask.

When everyone gathers, Baba Yaga says something like this:

“Dear devils and witches, today we all gathered on Bald Mountain. Let's get to know each other better:

• Witch-Miss Bald Mountain: “I know that you love all the most fashionable. What brand is your new broom?"
• To a witch who takes sweets from children: “Who is better to take sweets from girls or boys?”
• To a witch who scares children in their sleep: “And what scarecrow do you have the most terrible?”
• Witch-lover of wild animals: "What is the name of your favorite pet tarantula?"
• Confused Witch: "Which of your magical things did you manage to lose?"
• Devil-dirty: “What is the difference between a big dirty trick and a small one? Is it a big or small dirty trick to eat a birthday cake alone?
• To the devil-braggart: (very quickly) “Are you the most beautiful? The cleverest? The most daring? The most boastful?

(Children's answers can be the most unexpected. It turns out very funny and funny)

During the acquaintance of Kikimora (Leshy), he always tries to interrupt, get into the conversation, answer instead of the children. Baba Yaga brushes her off (him): "Leave me alone, Kikimora (Leshy), don't interfere." Kikimora (Leshy) mutters under his breath: “Okay, okay, I’ll do it for you!” etc.

After everyone “gets acquainted”, Baba Yaga says: “Well, now I want to give you gifts for coming to visit us”

Looking for a bag of gifts, but does not find it. Kikimora (Goblin) slowly leaves the room.

Baba Yaga:“It’s probably Kikimora (Leshy) who stole the bag! Forward, in search!

Kikimora (Leshy):“You chased me away, interrupted me, now I will get your gifts!”

After persuasion, she agrees to give gifts after the children complete her tasks, for example:

1. As quickly as possible, repeat some difficult tongue twister three times.

2. Bite off a piece from an apple hanging on a string, holding your hands behind your back.

3. Game "Mummy": you need to wrap one of the team members with a roll of toilet paper, making a mummy out of it. The winner is the team that did it more accurately and faster.
