It's that time of year again, where ghost stories and games rule our English classes. In Japan the second term of school is very long, September to the end of December without any breaks. By this time the kids are already flagging and finding it hard to concentrate and there are still two months to go. To give the kids a break, especially after working hard for an English test, we have Halloween Parties the last week of October. The kids look forward to it, the younger ones dress up and invite their friends to come. I use to do cookies but this year I realized that I don't have the energy to bake over 200 cookies in my small kitchen! So we bought a load of candy, cookies and chocolate and made up small gift bags for the kids to take home. I was hoping to hire the local community center and do two big parties but parents are still worried about Covid 19 so we stuck to doing parties for each class. Two more days to go then need to think about Christmas!

I put the Halloween table out the beginning of October, it makes a good conversation piece for the kids, they ask questions or make comments on the different things. Makes for for more natural learning than just from a book!
