[Halloween] Panel theater where you can play a silhouette quiz
![[Halloween] Panel theater where you can play a silhouette quiz](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FZEvXaEOYQw/sddefault.jpg)
This is a Halloween panel theater where you can enjoy a silhouette quiz.
Set to a cheerful Halloween song, various characters and autumn treats make an appearance.
They first show up as silhouettes, and on the lyric “Look over here!” you flip them over.
Since they’re only silhouettes, kids might get confused if something is upside down! The song is simple and repetitive, so it’s easy to remember.
Try preparing a variety of silhouettes like pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, grapes, mushrooms, and more!
Sketchbook Theater: “The Giant Turnip”
Do you know one of the famous fairy tales, “The Gigantic Turnip”? This sketchbook theater is a Halloween-themed adaptation of that story.
In the original, everyone works together to pull out a turnip, but in the Halloween version they all carry a pumpkin home.
In this story, the pumpkin talks, everyone chants a magic spell together, and there are many elements designed to capture children’s interest.
Please take a look if you get the chance!
Halloween True-or-False Quiz
Let’s enjoy seasonal events with a quiz! Here are some ideas for a Halloween true-or-false quiz.
Many preschools and daycare centers probably host Halloween events.
By learning the origins and meanings through a true-or-false quiz, you can deepen the event, so it’s highly recommended! Instead of just answering with true or false, adding brief explanations as key points creates opportunities to learn while playing.
It’s an idea you can adapt to a variety of events.
Give it a try!
[Song] Halloween Is a Big HullabalooTakashi Deguchi
![[Song] Halloween Is a Big Hullabaloo by Takashi Deguchi](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OZZXWXez7ys/sddefault.jpg)
This is the fun Halloween song “Halloween wa Oosawagi,” which teaches kids what the Halloween event is all about.
It has a slightly spooky melody, fitting for Halloween, but it also comes with choreography that even toddlers can copy, so they’ll have a great time.
You let both hands dangle in front of your body to become a ghost, and the T-pose made with both hands is super cute.
If you’re having a Halloween party, why not have everyone dress up and dance to this song together? The lyrics include that classic line, so learn it with this song and go get some treats!

“Hahahahaha Halloween” is a fun song featuring classic Halloween spooks like witches and werewolves.
Its slightly eerie yet humorous vibe will surely boost the Halloween mood! With no complicated choreography, even little kids can join in and dance along.
You can’t help but smile watching children fully get into character as little ghosts.
Of course, it’s also great for adults to dance to with full enthusiasm! It would be fun to make costumes of your favorite spooky characters and dance in them, too.
