Planning a Halloween Classroom Party

No matter what age kids are, they love classroom parties, and Halloween Classroom Parties are usually the first of the school year. This party really sets the tone for how the rest of the year will go. All it takes is some planning ahead of time.

Ask your parent helpers to bring in a snack for the class, select 2-3 Halloween Party Games, and play some Halloween Party Music in the background. Depending on the length of time allowed for your party, you may even want to plan a Halloween craft. It can be as easy as buying pre-made foam craft buckets, or as complicated as you would like it to be.
 










It is an important social activity that your child will look back on and remember, so go ahead, volunteer to plan a classroom Halloween Party. Your kids will thank you!

PTO Halloween Party Planning Ideas for the Classroom

Kids love those special days a few times a year when they get to have a classroom party. PTO Mom's & Dad's are usually the ones responsible for planning them. Here are a few tips for planning your child's Classroom Halloween Party:

• Plan your time wisely. Too many activities will leave you and the kids frazzled, and too few activities will have you searching for something to fill time. Always take some Halloween Music that you can play or Halloween books to read just in case. 
• Ask other parents to chip in - this can be asking for supplies, snacks, or even ideas. Some parents who are not able to attend may want to help out by sending in a craft or game to play. 
• Bring plastic sandwich bags for leftover or uneaten treats. These are also good to send home craft projects that aren't quite dry yet. Or pieces of an unfinished craft project.
