Happy and Haunting Halloween activities

     Looking for some happy and haunting halloween activities to do with your students?  

     One of my favorite activities to do with my students was  jibjab. Jibjab has great halloween videos that your students can star in! I used this Math, I had student count money to watch the movie. They had to count out money to get their picture taken, to get their picture in the video, to buy a ticket to watch the video, popcorn, juice. Students really enjoyed watching themselves do silly dances, but they really enjoyed putting their teachers or principal in the video.
