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

[Halloween] Panel theater where you can play a silhouette quiz

[October] You can play a silhouette quiz! Panel theater [Halloween]

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!

[Hand Play] One Little Ghost

One Little Ghost [fingerplay song] – A counting song perfect for Halloween 👻♪

This “Ippiki Obake” is a popular hand-play song in early childhood education.

Each time the same phrase is repeated, the number of little ghosts increases.

Match that by adding more body parts to move, and at the end say “Waa!” to playfully startle someone nearby.

It’s very simple, so even children who are too young to dance can imitate it and enjoy themselves.

Since it’s a ghost song, it’s perfect for Halloween in October, too.

Playing it repeatedly turns into a full-body activity and may help children relieve stress.

Song: "Halloween Is a Big Commotion" [Takashi’s Finger Play • Children’s Song] Japanese Children’s Song, Finger Play Songs

This is the fun Halloween song “Halloween wa Oosawagi,” which teaches kids what the Halloween event is all about.

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.

“Hahahahaha Halloween” is a fun song featuring classic Halloween spooks like witches and werewolves.

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.
