[For Seniors] Popping, Fun Halloween Exercise

Tonight is Halloween night

Tonight Is Halloween Night [CD Book “Asobi-uta Gyugyu!”] (Toshihiko Shinzawa, Satoko Yamano, Mami Mori, Riiko Yamada)

This piece portrays the lively atmosphere of a fun party held on Halloween night with a light, buoyant feel.

It centers on a steady, gentle rhythm that encourages step movements, making it a good workout for the lower body.

Another highlight is the energetic arm swings inspired by ghostly motions; relaxing your arms as you swing can also help promote circulation.

With its unhurried tempo and simple choreography, it’s something even people who aren’t confident at dancing can enjoy moving to.

[Halloween Craft] Cute Paper Pumpkin Ghost Hat [Cosplay/Costume] How to Make – How to Make a Paper Witch Hat - Halloween Jack-o’-Lantern

Here’s an idea for making a ghost pumpkin out of construction paper.

Create a circular base sized to fit your head, then attach short, strip-shaped pieces of construction paper around it, leaving a little slack so they drape softly.

Fold the top and bottom edges of each strip slightly, like making a seam allowance, and tape the folded parts to the inside of the top and bottom of the base.

Be careful not to glue or tape any other areas.

Once about two-thirds of the base is covered, attach the facial features to the remaining open section.

Your ghost pumpkin is complete! Since you just wear it on your head, it might be an easy option even for those who feel a bit shy about full costumes.

Whirling Ghost

kimie gangi Super Easy “Twisting Ghost” made with Nabechin’s template #Halloween #ghost #unique #3D #quicktomake #seniors #kindergarten #daycare #elementaryschool #Nabechin

When it comes to easy Halloween costumes, a sheet ghost might be the go-to choice.

All you have to do is throw a white sheet over yourself, so it’s simple to put on and easy to take off when you’re done.

If you’re making it yourself, cut a white piece of fabric into a rectangle, fold it, and cut a hole in the folded edge to create an opening for your head.

Then make a ghost face out of felt or similar material and stick it on.

You can probably make one with a white plastic trash bag, too.

Wearing a white T-shirt and drawing a ghost face on it is also fine! It’s a costume that’s easy to try regardless of age, so seniors are welcome to join in as well.

bat

Jig's Halloween Costume “Bat Poncho” JJG3886

Let’s try a bat costume, a motif often used for Halloween decorations! Even if you just throw on a black poncho, it will look the part, so there’s no need to overthink it.

That said, simply wearing a poncho can make you look like a witch or Dracula, so cutting the hem into slightly jagged, bat wing–like shapes will make it more convincing.

As Halloween approaches, headbands with bat designs are often sold at 100-yen shops, and wearing one is also recommended.

Soot Sprite

Kimie Gangi: Make super-easy ‘Susuwatari’ out of tissue paper. #Susuwatari #SootSprites #seniors #kids #easy #Halloween #cute #roundStickers #zeroWaste

Susuwatari refers to the character called “Makkuro Kurosuke” in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro.

Susuwatari are round with jagged edges and have cute little eyes.

If you want to dress up as one, you’ll need to make it yourself since it isn’t sold ready-made.

It’s quite tricky to capture that round shape, but how about creating something like an oversized wrap towel so that when you spread your arms, people can tell it’s a Susuwatari? That would really lower the bar for the costume, don’t you think?

mummy man

“Who’s the real mummy?” Halloween mummy play ★ Transformed into a mummy with bandages ★

If you want to try a full-on costume, how about going for a mummy? It’s a very simple costume, but since you have to wrap white bandages or cloth all around, it’s surprisingly one of the more demanding ones.

If you’re using cloth, using pieces with slightly frayed edges will make it look more authentic.

Adding fake blood can make it scarier, too.

If dressing your whole body feels like a bit much, just doing your face is fine.

Enjoy the costume, but be careful not to cover your nose or mouth, and don’t wrap it too tightly.

Little Red Riding Hood

A belated solo Halloween… the tale of me dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood

This is a Little Red Riding Hood costume, isn’t it? When most people hear “Little Red Riding Hood,” they probably think of the Brothers Grimm tale.

The girl in the story wears a red hood, right? It’s a popular Halloween costume among girls and women who like cute styles, but why not have older adults join in too and relive their childhood by dressing up? Just drape a large red cloth over your head and carry a basket with flowers, and you’ve got a fine Little Red Riding Hood costume.

It’s easy and I highly recommend it!
