I introduced my youngest pupils to Hallowe’en, which they said reminded them of our own Christmas Eve traditions—just without the costumes.
We listened to different versions of the Knock, Knock, Trick-or-Treat song, and then I asked them to imagine what costume they would wear if they went door to door, chanting and collecting sweets. Some children chose to be a ghost, a witch, or a ballerina, while others imagined themselves as superheroes, ninjas, monsters, or even Wednesday. A few added sounds and little moves, which made the activity even more fun. Their ideas were wonderfully creative.
Their older friends enjoyed the lesson just the same.
