You're invited to a Halloween Party!  Come in costume or in regular clothes.  We'll freeze dance using moves that match your costume and the costumes of your classmates, decorate pumpkins, and play Halloween themed Would You Rather.
 
INTRODUCTIONS (5 minutes) We'll start the party by introducing ourselves and telling what our costumes are. (If you're wearing regular clothes, you can tell us what your costume is going to be.  I will introduce you if you're feeling shy.) Masks are welcome. However, masks should be removed for identification during the first five minutes or so of class to meet safety and privacy policies. Masks can impede vision, so students will be required to remove them during the dancing and would you rather portions of the class. School appropriate costumes only.  Everyone has a different idea of what scary is and this class has a large age range, so no super scary or super gross costumes please.  Contact me if you're unsure whether your costume is suitable. The educator will vet costumes to ensure they meet Outschool standards (secular, age-appropriate, etc.). 

DANCE!  (About 5 minutes) Make sure you have some clear space to Freeze Dance to kid friendly Halloweenish music.  I'll call out the costume someone is wearing and we'll all dance with moves that match the costume until the music stops and we all have to freeze.  When the music starts again I'll give another costume or say freestyle or dance as your costume.  This is a no elimination version of Freeze Dance, everyone gets to keep dancing :)   I will ask students to stay within the boundaries of their cameras, but parental guidance before class on where they can dance is suggested. 

HALLOWEEN WOULD YOU RATHER?  (About 7 minutes) In this game, players are expected to choose between two options like would you rather go trick-or-treating on Halloween or go to a Halloween Party?  The questions can be goofy, straight forward, or a difficult choice between two good options or two unfavorable options. Students will respond by moving a certain way--like wave your arms for one choice and pat your head for the other-- rather than telling their choice.  Students often like to make up their own questions for this game.)

PUMPKINS (About 7 minutes) Now that we've gotten out some wiggles and giggles, it's time for pumpkin decorating!  Bring a pumpkin to decorate, or more than one if you're fast.  Pumpkins of all kinds are welcome- fresh, paper, foam, plastic, whatever pumpkin you have on hand.  Before class make sure to have everything you'll need to decorate your pumpkin ready and conveniently located in your class space.  You might want to bring some paper and something to draw with or something to color in case you finish early.  Please NO CARVING during class.
