If you’re looking for a sing-and-dance track for Halloween, how about this “Ha ha ha ha Halloween!”? The lyrics, composition, and vocals are by Tsubasa Suzuki, a creator of children’s play songs.
The track features lots of classic Halloween spooks like witches and mummies, and the choreography is themed around ghostly moves.
It’s easy to learn and fun because you can dance as if you’ve become a ghost yourself.
Dressing up to match the song would make it even more enjoyable!

Here’s an idea for a maple leaf made by combining parts.
If you use 7.5 cm origami paper, you’ll get a nicely sized leaf.
First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.
Place the paper so the crease runs horizontally, and fold the left edge in to meet the crease.
Next, fold the right corner toward the center and tuck it underneath the section you just folded.
With the isosceles triangle positioned upside down, fold the top edge from both sides to align with the center line.
Open the small triangles on the left and right into diamond shapes, and one part is complete.
Make five identical parts, stack and glue them together, then roll another piece of origami to make the stem and attach it.
Easy Ghost Origami Instructions

Here’s an origami ghost that’s perfect for autumn Halloween.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.
Then fold the left and right corners in toward the center line.
Tuck the loose, fluttery corner downwards.
Fold the whole piece toward the center line, then fold the tip downward to shape it into a ghost.
If you fold the bottom part of the ghost at an angle, it adds movement and makes a cute ghost.
Once it’s finished, draw a face and stick it on a Halloween bag or wand to enjoy!
In conclusion
We introduced childcare ideas inspired by October events.
Each preschool has its own approach to when they hold activities.
But if you incorporate them into pretend play or indoor games, you can enjoy the events together with the children.
The arrangements are up to the teacher.
Let’s have fun every day with the energetic children!
