Halloween is such a great time to dress up and have fun! It is one of my favorite holidays because of the creativity involved. Plus, who doesn't like candy and games!! Halloween isn't celebrated in Korea, but our English school decided to have a party. So on Saturday October 31st, we decorated the library and invited all the students and their friends and siblings. It was so cute, because many of my students introduced me to their siblings and friends. For some of the kids, it was their first Halloween! I gave them a quick speech about the origin of Halloween and how it is celebrated in America. After that we had several activities including: the best costume (most kids were so shy but they seemed to be proud of their costumes), the mummy contest (teams picked two kids to stand back to back and be wrapped up with toilet paper), pumpkin decorating (everything from apples, oranges, and persimmon were used for this activity :-), and a few other activities. It was such a great time! Plus, it was wonderful to spend time with the kids outside of the classroom and away from bookwork. We laughed, took pictures together, ate candy, and were just plain silly the whole time.
