Silhouette Quiz
https://www.tiktok.com/@popon_shop/video/7406635253357366535Here’s a recommended silhouette paper theater activity for Halloween.
When you think of Halloween, you think of pumpkins, ghosts, witches, and candy, right? Turn these into a silhouette quiz and have the children guess! There are all kinds—from easy silhouettes to challenging ones.
Silhouette quizzes are easy for little ones to join in! It’s a quiz that kids of all ages can enjoy, so try getting creative with the silhouettes and have a fun Halloween!
Halloween Hand Game

This is a hand game played in pairs.
To the rhythm of an English song, you clap and press your palms together in various ways.
At the end, give your partner a high-five! It looks simple, but if children try it for the first time on Halloween day, many may feel unsure.
We recommend incorporating it into regular childcare activities leading up to Halloween.
It’s also a great way to get familiar with English.
Whether they nail it or their timing doesn’t quite match with their partner, it’s a party—so let’s put fun first and get everyone excited together!
Halloween Magic: “A Mountain of Candy Appears”

This is a magic trick perfect for Halloween where lots of candy comes out of an apparently empty tube.
In fact, there’s a simple gimmick: another tube is secretly attached behind the first one, and the candy is hidden inside it.
It’s a very famous trick, so it’s worth remembering.
You can also hide other things in the tube besides candy, such as flowers or toys.
As long as you prepare in advance, anyone can do this easy trick, making it perfect for entertainment.
Halloween Magic: ‘The object in your hand disappears’

Magic tricks are a classic for performances and party entertainment, but how about trying this one to boost the Halloween mood? You pretend that the object in your hand will vanish when you tap it with a pen—but instead, the pen disappears.
Then next, the object in your hand actually does vanish.
The secret is simple once you hear it: while your words guide the audience’s gaze, you hide the other item.
Try doing it with Halloween-themed props for both the item you hold and the one that disappears!
Panel Theater: The Magic Potion – Halloween Version

Here’s an introduction to “Magic Potion – Panel Theater Halloween Version,” perfect for Halloween fun.
It’s a story featuring a cute boy and a witch, with bottles of potions in various colors.
When the boy takes a sip, he magically transforms into Halloween characters! Which character will he become next? With the chant “Moto ni modore~” (Back to normal!), the boy returns to himself again.
In the video, the transformations follow the sound of a guitar, but you can enjoy it with piano or other instruments, too.
Be sure to try it at your Halloween event!
Panel Theater: Welcome to the Halloween Shop

Let me introduce a fun Halloween panel theater.
A little girl named Madoka opens a Halloween shop.
Madoka presents some amusing Halloween-themed quizzes! With her shout of “Trick or treat!”, she transforms things—like pumpkins, Dracula, and items turned into mummies.
This panel theater is perfect for Halloween events, so be sure to try it with the children and have fun together.
You can almost hear their cheerful responses!
Mummy Game

This is the “Mummy Game.” Even without an explanation, you can probably guess what kind of game it is just from the title.
That’s right—it’s a game where you get wrapped up with toilet paper.
Once you’re done, you can rewind the toilet paper and use it again as regular toilet paper.
It’s something you can enjoy with items you have at home, and it’s reusable.
Some children may dislike being squeezed or wrapped, so if they resist, be considerate and avoid forcing them to play the mummy role.
