Haunted House

Halloween at my school was fun.  Groups of teachers were put in charge of making it entertaining for the preschool kids.  One group was put in charge of arts and crafts.  Another was storytelling.  Two other teachers and I put together a haunted house.   The necessary tools were gathered: probably a box full of black plastic garbage bags to cover the walls, some construction paper to cover up the lights, some loud bass notes on the piano, and the will to make as many kids as possible cry.  What followed was the fun that WE got out of Halloween.  Most children refused to even go into the haunted house because of the quick reputation that it adopted with our first initial successes.  My yelling at the children I get to teach everyday, and jumping out and spooking them, coupled with their screams and subsequent sobs was all I needed to make this Halloween special.
