Hap Palmer...sounds so 70's and so outdated. But, with all seriousness he does have some great music! This above video is a great activity for the kiddos around Halloween time. One of my supervisors uses this song as a simple movement activity. My favorite way that I've observed is with scarves, or I suppose anything with colors. Each student has a different colored scarf. During the ingredients part of the song, you sing "Put in the [color] and put in the [color] stir them in my witches brew". The student then places their color scarf into a pot or bag of "ingredients". This works on the student's attention span because they have to concentrate to listen for their color. Obviously, it can also be an academic activity to simply learn the colors. Thank you Hap Palmer!
Another great activity to help improve fine motor skills and to provide sensory experiences is by using the parachute with balloons. I saw this done in one of my high school groups. My supervisor used a large parachute and white balloons as ghosts. I'm not sure what song she used, but I'm using the "Ghostbuster's" theme song.
Those are just a couple of Halloween ideas. Hope you enjoy. I'll have more up later this week!
