K-Halloween


We had a great time on Halloween at my school. Actually, we had two full days of Halloween activities. The school really got into the Halloween thing; I had never seen a place so heavily decorated before. It was amazing! The principal decided that I was a good drawer so she made me draw a haunted house on one of the walls.



We started our Halloween activities with our kindergarten kids on Thursday. All of the little kids got dressed up so there was adorableness all around. We took the kids out on a "parade" through the neighborhood; they marched, sang, and danced through the town. Actually, we were lucky that they all survived. We crossed over some big intersections with our big, long train of students. The cross signal told us not to cross once we reached about half way. Thankfully, no one ran over our kids. At various points, we would stop, and some parents would hand out candy. By the time we got back, all of the kids and teachers were pooped so they decided to delay studies for a little while.



With our bigger kids, we had a bunch of games and activities. We had a eye ball/tomato race, a mummy building race, corn hole, trick or treating, and even a haunted house. I think the kids really liked the haunted house. We built a maze in one of the rooms and stuck some teachers in it with some scary masks. It was completely dark in the maze so the kids were pretty freaked out.






It took me a while to finally come up with a costume. Already-made costumes in Korea are pretty expensive and are a little hard to find. Also, second-hand clothing store are not that widespread so it is a little hard to make your own. I went through about 5 different costume ideas before I finally settled for Spongebob. After getting some cardboard, yellow paper, and painting for a few hours, I finally had a my costume.



My K-Halloween was a good time. We worked really hard preparing for it, and it turned out to be really successful. Most of the kids had fun so that's all I can ask for.
