Answer 1

Oh!  I love this one!  Use styrafoam peanuts as Ghost p**p.  Guess how many poops in the ghost potty, trail of ghost p**p, ghost p**p as a prize for correct answers (trade for better prize at end of lesson/unit).  

Bubble wrap taped to the floor for a Creeky Bones dance.  

Have fun!

Answer 2

we did a ghost hunt for my daughter b-day one year. I made a bunch of ghost out of suckers and tissues. then did it like an egg hunt. The kids loved it.

Answer 3

what about using little pictures of ghosts for how many steps the children have to take to go to the next stop then its math and ghosts :O)also for activities maybe best halloween picture or most unique halloween candy carrier or maybe get them to make decorations for the class or a halloween based treasure hunt thats always fun

Answer 4

You should not teach children these evil things. G-d help them, and you!

Answer 5

It's not really in keeping with the Halloween spirit, but I like to do lessons on skeletons and bats this time of year.  It's a good time to introduce the children to their own bodies, and to learn about furry little mammals that do us a favor by eating lots of mosquitoes!  Last year, I read a book call The Skeleton Inside You and one little boy was a little disappointed.  "You mean, skeleton's aren't mean and they don't really hurt you?"  LOL  Couldn't help but chuckle!

Answer 6

color and count them or try g for ghost try doing your ghost hunt like a scavenger hunt good luck

Answer 7

You could set up "stations" around the area; i.e., 1st clue "you must see the 2 ghosts of creepy hollow" and have one station with 2 ghosts standing guard of the 2nd clue (or you could have a card for the clue with a picture of 2 ghosts), the second card/clue could have 3 ghosts or 2 ghost and a black cat, and a station to match with 3 ghosts, etc. You get the idea, lol...
