Are you ready to plan a fun virtual Halloween party? Almost all of the items needed for this party can be found on Amazon. Amazon links are affiliate links.
I planned a fun and easy virtual Halloween party. One of the obstacles was that we couldn’t ask parents to drop off donations at the school for distribution. In order to get around this, I whipped up an Amazon Shopping List in which the parents could purchase items and they’d be sent directly to my house. My parents were amazing and purchased almost all of the items. Here’s a look at the whole bucket.
All of the activities in this post were designed to be put together and sent home before the day of the party, however they can all be used in a face to face classroom.
Keep reading for a description of all the activities. We have 4 activities that we’re going to do during our virtual Halloween party. Make Your Own Monster, Create a Halloween Scene, Popsicle Stick Mummies, and Lollipop Ghosts. Here’s what the projects look like.
How to Make Your Own Monster
First we have the Make Your Own Monster Kit. You can get the freebie by visiting The Simple Crafted Life’s page.
I had enough playdough containers to give each student 2 mini playdoughs. I also added in different size googly eyes, 2-3 inch pipe cleaners, and a handful of small pom poms. Here are the links to each of the items on Amazon.
Halloween Sticker Sheets
Next up are the sticker pages to create a Halloween Scene. Again, we had enough to give each student two pages of stickers and I gave them 2 blank pieces of paper to put the stickers on. If I had access to my classroom, I would’ve given them black paper to put their stickers on.
Popsicle Stick Mummies and Lollipop Ghosts
If you don’t have access to a lot of supplies, the next two projects are projects that you may have the supplies laying around your house or in your classroom.
Popsicle Stick Mummies: To prepare these ahead of time, hot glue two popsicle sticks together and hot glue two eyes at the top. Then cut a long piece of white string and put all the pieces in a baggie. On the day of the party, students simple wrap the yarn around and around the popsicle sticks to make a mummy. This project is great for fine motor skills.
The last project is the Lollipop Ghost. All they need is a lollipop, tissue, and piece of ribbon or string. Students will put the tissue over the lollipop, and use the ribbon to tie it. If they have access to a marker, they can draw on a face. Easy peasy.
Since we are virtual, we won’t have a lot of time for our party. If we still have time after our activities, we will play Freeze Dance, Would You Rather, and Charades. I’m so excited to pass our their party buckets and to be able to do some fun activities with my first graders. They deserve it!
Let me know if you try any of these activities and if your students have fun.
Happy Halloween! If you’re in school and looking for some educational ways to celebrate Halloween, here are some links to Language Arts and Math activities.
