Get the Crowd Excited! Perfect Performance Ideas for Halloween at Daycare and Kindergarten

Bakechama the GhostKeropons

Obake no Bake-chama / Keropons [A fun ghost exercise “Obake no Bake-chama”! ]

The ghost Bakechama, sung and danced by Keropons—famous for “Ebikanics”! This time, even little kids can easily sing and dance along.

Bakechama is a ghost that can transform into anything, but even though it’s a ghost itself, it’s afraid of ghosts.

Still, it wants to surprise everyone by transforming into all sorts of things! On Halloween, try becoming whatever you like—just like Bakechama—and surprise the people around you.

The humorous moves are easy to incorporate into everyday childcare, too.

Try dancing in the morning or evening so everyone can learn the moves together.

Spot the differences for Halloween

Spot the differences for Halloween! Educational quiz [Baby and Kids Animation] Spot the Difference for Kids / Halloween

Spot-the-difference is a game where you compare two pictures and find the parts that are different.

This time there’s a 30-second time limit, so you might feel nervous and rushed.

However, the key to spot-the-difference is to take your time and compare the fine details carefully.

Can you find all five differences? It’s great for classes or groups, but working in a small team of about two to three people can help you cooperate and figure out the answers together.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Game: ‘The Ghost Goes Knock-Knock’

Rock-Paper-Scissors Game “The Ghost Goes Knock-Knock” Halloween With Lyrics

Many animals come and knock on the door—tap, tap! But in the end, a ghost shows up.

Here’s a fun fingerplay to try.

First, when an animal knocks, make the animal’s sound and do a gesture that matches that animal.

At the end, when the ghost arrives, play rock-paper-scissors.

It’s best for children around age 3 and up who understand how to play.

After you’ve played the game a lot, it’s fun to go around the classroom saying “Trick or treat!” and collect some sweets.

Song “There’s No Such Thing as Ghosts”Mieko Hirota

♪There’s no such thing as ghosts (Halloween Version) - There’s no such thing as ghosts, ghosts aren’t real at all~♪ <with choreography>

One of the children’s favorite songs is “Obake Nante Nai sa” (“There’s No Such Thing as Ghosts”).

It’s a perfect song for Halloween and one kids really love! While the lyrics say there aren’t any ghosts, the song wonders what to do if one did appear—revealing a child who’s actually quite scared of ghosts.

How about singing it while dressing up and pretending to be a ghost? You can enjoy it in a different mood than usual.

If you also enjoy Keiko Sena’s original book “Obake Nante Nai sa,” which the song is based on, it’ll really help build excitement for Halloween.
