Fun Activities for Kids, Families, and Teachers

Hi everyone! Read down at the bottom for directions on how to do this fun neighborhood tradition! You can make the treats as simple or elaborate as you like. One year we got a plate of home made cookies! Another year we got a plastic pumpkin filled with candy! I can’t find the original “boo note” we got but one of my July ‘97 moms group moms shared this one and it is great! HAVE FUN!

The air is cool, the season Fall,
Soon Halloween will come to all!

The spooks are after things to do.
In fact, a spook brought this to you!

“BOO” is a shield from the witching hour.
Just hang it up and watch its power!

On your front door is where it works.
It wards off spooks and scary jerks!

The treats that came with crypted note
Are yours to keep, enjoy them both!

The power comes when friends like you
Will copy this and send it through!

Then others here among our friends
Will give warm fuzzies that do not end!

We’ll all have smiles upon our faces
No one will know who “BOO”ed whose places!

Just one short day to work your spell
Or a big ZAP will strike your tail!

And don’t forget a nifty treat,
Like something cute or something sweet!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here’s what you do:
1. Pick a treat.
2. Place an orange “Boo!” sign on your front door.
3. Now you have 24 hours to copy this note, make an orange “Boo!” sign for the next person, add the treat you chose, and secretly deliver to a neighbor that does not have a “Boo!” on their front door.
4. Then watch how far this spreads by Halloween.

Just thought I’d share this beautiful poem. I do not know the author but it was shared by a fellow Story Time Felts consultant and I just love it!!!

Little Eyes Upon You

There are little eyes upon you
And they’re watching throughout the day.
There are little ears that quickly take
In every word you say.

There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do,
And a little child who’s dreaming
Of the day he’ll be like you.

You’re the little child’s idol.
You’re the wisest of the wise.
In his little mind, about you
No suspicions ever rise.

He believes in you devoutly,
Holds all that you say and do.
He will say and do in your way,
When he’s grown up like you.

You are setting an example
Every day in all you do
For the little child who’s waiting
To grow up and be like you.
