[is so delicious]

Got dragged into school on a Saturday to babysit for a half hour to an hour. They want me to do something Halloween-related.

My kids will be either 5-7 years old. Mostly good kids. School's very chill... I just need ANYTHING to occupy them for an hour while their students are in a meeting.

Cartoons or short movies with subtitles work fine. They are even encouraged.

Thanks for any help.

Too bad you can't show them Paranormal Activity. Hardly any talking.

I'm joking.

Halloween is a hard one to "teach". It's not like Christmas where you have songs and stories/legends of animals with red noses or greedy people like Grinch and Scrooge.

You could outline a pumpkin on orange paper (about 1/4 of the page, so 4 per page), and then together have them cut it out and add a face. If you really want to get creative, instead of outlining, you cut paper in half (this time 2 pumpkins per page. Have them draw on one half, then you can wrap the strip around to make a more 3 dimensional shape of a pumpkin.

To make it look round, before wrapping it around, cut slits up and down (I guess across could work too), then wrap it around. You can add a bottom, or cone it. Bring some candy and they can practice trick or treating.
