One thing we can guarantee about this Halloween is that it will be very different from other years. In this article, we hope to share some tips for Halloween in the classroom for COVID19 times.
Halloween Masks
Who would have thought we’d be wearing masks all the time, and not just Halloween? How about getting the children to create Halloween-themed face masks from elastic bands and paper? While they obviously shouldn’t be used instead of real masks, it’s a fun activity.
Halloween Art
Given the DES guidelines on the curriculum during COVID19 times, the only strand they advise doing is the drawing strand. Ms Kelly has designed a great product for a drawing lesson based on rhymes for Halloween.
Virtual Halloween Showcase
Many schools would have hosted Halloween parties in their halla mór, or a witches walk, and so on. While we can’t join together physically, there’s nothing stopping us from dressing up and having a Zoom party in between the classrooms.
