5-Minute Film Festival: Happy Halloween!
It’s time to put on a costume and have some spooky fun with this playlist of Halloween-related videos compiled by VideoAmy.
It's Halloween time, and kids' minds are turning to costuming and candy, marauding and merriment! While parents get mired in guilt over fair-trade candy and childhood obesity issues and some schools ban Halloween celebrations altogether, many teachers take advantage of the excitement in the crisp autumn air and brew up some activities related to All Hallow's Eve.
Whatever your thoughts are on Halloween, it's a time of rich history and cultural traditions. People around the world are celebrating some variation on the theme at the end of October and in early November, from Samhain to Dia de Los Muertos. I've put together a list of video treats and tricks to delight you and your students.
