Service Project (Same concept as the 12 Days of Christmas… but with a Halloween twist!)

• Use a witch’s broom to sweep a neighbors porch
• Make a witchy treat to share with an unsuspecting neighbor

Literature
Room on the Broom (My Boo’s favorite Halloween story! It comes highly recommended from me!) Use story cut outs as you are telling the story, or as a fun retelling activity.

Learning Time Fun
Have your kiddos make a Book of Brews by coming up with unique witch spells and writing the ingredients and directions. Another variation of this book would be to have your kids write different recipes such as Spider Stew, Bat Burgers, and French Fried Frogs.

Reading comprehension skill page (might not have the fun factor, but it is educational!)

Witch Math Art

Making Learning Fun has a whole bunch of learning activities that go with the Two Little Witches Halloween story. They have magnet pages, color by number pages, letter tile pages, and MORE!

Treats & Eats
The Food Chics came up with this yummy witch sandwich… it is almost too cute to eat!

Betty Crocker posted a simple witch hat cookie recipe.

A salty and sweet broomstick recipe from Mega Spooky. (This looks like a fun site!)

Witch fingers from A Fridge Full of Food… seems like an easy enough recipe!

Cute cupcakes from Parents… they look a little too complicated for me, but darling nonetheless!

Crafts
You can buy this darling witch bag kit from Pebbles in my Pocket, but I don’t think it would be too hard to make with scrap paper.

Fingerplays and Songs
These were all found at Kid’n’Kaboodle– and they have a whole lot more!

If I was a Witch

If I was a witch I would climb on my broom 

And fly away with a zoom zoom zoom

(Show the children walking fingers and say this is your witch. Next show the children their pointer finger and say this is a broom. Then have them put their witch on their broom and make her fly)

Three Wee Witchies

Not last night, but the night before 

(Shake head, gesture with hand over shoulder to show the day before)

Three wee witchies came knocking at my door 

(Show three fingers, knock on floor)

One played the fiddle 

(Play an imaginary fiddle)

One played the drum

(Play an imaginary drum)

And one had a pancake 

stuck to her bum!
