Make and decorate Halloween bags.

Use smaller bags (brown lunch sacks) to make monster puppets.

Decorate paper face masks.

Higher level students can write scary stories.

I had a short video, ppt, then video presentation of my house during Halloween (we're big on Halloween in my family) and then game and Halloween Challenge.

I played a zombie game with my 3rd and 6th graders.

1 student is a human, the rest are zombies. The human has to get the zombies to smile or laugh. If they laugh, they become human. The last 2 (maybe more, if you run out of time) zombies are the winners.

Also, I used storybots.com to make a Halloween video with some of my students' faces in it. They loved it!

I've attached my ppt, with some personal pics deleted. Fill in with your own or whatever. :)

I've never actually seen brown paper bags in stores in Korea. O_O Could you tell me where to find them? ^_^

Unfortunately, they are not very cheap.

Instead of brown paper lunch bags, I used brown paper envelopes - the ones about the size of a piece of printer paper. They worked well for a fraction of the price.

I used this PPT both this year and last year, although this year I only showed the slides with the monsters and jack o'lanterns (handing out candy if they raised their hands and could identify things) because we were doing a lot of activities.  There are some links at the end, including one to a video of a woman doing skeleton makeup.

As for activities, we did a Pin the Smile on the Jack O'Lantern game, made balloon jack o'lanterns (using black Sharpies to draw the face and with green string for the vines - the kids loved the balloons!), a Toilet Paper Mummy Race, and guessed how many gummy bears were in the jar (closest answer gets the gummy bears).  And of course I taught them "Trick or Treat", and if they came and said it to me later in the day I handed out more candy.  Cue the hordes of children shouting "Trick or Treat" all day at the top of their lungs while fighting over who got the chocolate coins and who got stuck with a lollipop.

Other activities that I wanted to do but didn't have time for were making paper plate masks, pipe cleaner spiders and other animals, paper bag or paper plate candy holders, Q-tip skeletons on black paper, and decorating small pumpkins or oranges.  I also thought about doing a skeleton scavenger hunt where you have to find and assemble the bones.

Maybe ask for them in McDonalds? You can cover the McDonalds logo with your craft paper.

These all sound great! Were you given a separate period to do this or did you incorporate it into the lesson. I'm also done with the 5th grade textbook, so I can do some of this stuff with the 5th graders, but not with the 6th graders. I still want to introduce a bit of Halloween into the lesson with the 6th graders.

Here is a link for how to make paper bags. Perhaps you could simplify it down for the students and have them make it themselves?

Also, here are some links to what other people on waygook have done in the past for Halloween if you want to sift through them.

A simple Halloween word search I made. The first one is shorter, I used it for first - third grade. The second one is a slightly harder for fifth grade.

It's a handy one because student can also colour in the pictures, great end of class time filler 

For my older/advanced students, I did a writing game. Students are put in pairs or groups of four and have to write two sentences. They fold over the top sentence and chance with another group. The next group also writes two sentences and then cover the top sentence so only one is visible again. Etc etc. Do for as long as you want. I did it on Halloween vocab. So I used a basic ppt of words and taught like vampire, zombie, ghost,, etc. and said the story had to be scary. It went down really well!

I wrote two example sentences, "Once upon a time there was a vampire. He liked to drink blood."

"Yesterday, I saw a werewolf.
He was in my kitchen."

etc
