I have a bucket that we can put bingo prizes in. I thought I would cover the top and let the kids reach in for a surprise when they win.  I have plenty of prizes (pencils, erasers, suckers, and some candy).  :)  I did the candy corn idea for bingo in my daughters class one year and it worked great!  :)

I wasn't able to get the Padlet to work on my phone, so I had to wait to get home to the computer to respond to you; I'm very sorry for the delay. Mrs. Gorenflo posted that we should have enough prizes for everyone to get one, because everyone wins in the end. I have a bag of 40 glow bracelets to use as prizes (for 30-35 players), and I was also going to get some pencil topper erasers. I talked to Mrs. Gorenflo last night at the basketball game, and we decided to use candy corn as "chips" instead of erasers, because I wasn't certain how many chips each student would need during the game. Maybe between whatever prizes we both bring, we can let the kids choose what they want each time they win :) As for winning more than once, I'm not sure about that - bingo is such a random chance game, so I'm guessing we should be prepared for that, but we also need to keep in mind the playing time will be short since the party's only an hour. Thanks so much for all your help - see you on Monday!-Laura

Laura, I can bring in some prizes and my bingo set.  How many prizes should we have?  Will the kids be able to win more than once?

I have to change my treat for the party.  I will still bring in a sweet/sugar treat, but my original idea is not going to work out.  Any objections to this?

We're glad to help with both food & games :) Brian has to work, so apologies it will be just me at the party, though. I was going to print the Bingo cards, so Nikki, if you want to bring your set as well, that's great, thanks! I can also get eraser "chips," and again, Nikki, if you want to bring extra prizes, also great :) One question on food: if I get the frozen GF waffles, can I bring a toaster to school to use? Wondering if Boo-Nanas on plates might be easier than toasting waffles...let me know, thanks, anssee everyone next week!-Laura

I'm sorry I have not been on to check these posts for a few days.  I'd be happy to donate some prize items for bingo if that is the game of choice?  I have a little Halloween bingo set if it is needed as well.

Nikki, you were going to look for items but there was no follow up (busy moms we all know!)  Would you like to plan a craft for the Valentines celebration to have time to get something together?

# data[].attributes.body
Laura and Brian,  Would you like to then plan the game(s) for this event?  Something that a 1/3 of the class can participate in at a time probably.  The Halloween bingo is always a hit with erasers as "chips" and pencils, Halloween teeth, etc  as prizes. (remember everyone wins in the end so we need to have enough prizes for everyone to get one :-)

This is a suggestion, if you would like to play another small group game that is great, you  can plan it and If we need any of this picked up let us know.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at the paddock here it looks like Nathan and (? I'm sorry there is no other name attached) want to work the craft table.  Is there a craft you have planned and do you  need items donated?

We will have stations set up so part of the group will be eating, playing a game or crafting then rotating through.  There is probably only about an hour for them to do everything, so crafts and games need to be relatively easy (for the age group) and not a lot of steps.

Laura and Brian had some great ideas if you needed any.

Apologies to Nathan and ?Nikki: last teacher email indicated input was still wanted on padlet, and only craft post from Nikki said looking through craft supplies...we don't have any supplies for the ideas I suggested but are happy to buy them. That being said, the party is next Monday (only a week away!), as is Halloween, and the longer we wait, I'm afraid stores will run out, making it hard to get what we need. We were just trying to plan ahead, so we will wait for direction from Mrs. Gorenflo before proceeding with anything. Thanks!-Laura and Brian

Questions/Suggestion Ideas:

1) How long is the party?

2) Do you want one all-class activity/game and one craft, or would you like the kids to have a few choices?

3) Do you want the kids all doing the same thing simultaneously or rotating from station to station?

4) If rotating, should it be a set period (i.e.; every 10-mins) or as the kids finish something and choose to move to the next?

5) It looks like food/drink is pretty well set with the apple cider, “Witch Hat Surprise Cookies,” monster fruit treat, mini spider donuts, and GF trail mix, so we will help with activities/games and crafts instead. Here are some activity (game) and craft ideas:

ACTIVITY/GAMES (click links):
1) Glow-in-the-Dark Cup Bowling
2) Halloween Bingo
3) Witch Hat Ring Toss (no link)
CRAFT IDEAS (click links):
1) Pumpkin or Ghost Night Light
2) Puffy Ghost
3) Glow Stick Balloons
4) Paper Plate Spider
5) Egg Carton Spider (no link)
6) Lollipop Spider, Pumpkin, or Ghost
Thank you!
Laura and Brian

1) how many kids in the class?
2) how many adults? (just Mrs. Gorenflo or other aides, student teachers, etc.)
3) any food allergies or concerns (i.e.; nuts, bananas, gluten, etc.)
Thanks!
Laura & Brian

We have 30 students.
Two adults work in the room.
We do have gluten allergies in the classroom--however if we have alternative options I think we will be fine.

Thank you for your support.

I can bring some Halloween decorations for the classroom.what time would be best to come decorate?
Tracey

Party is right after the parade in the morning.  Before school Monday or at the end of the day on Friday.
The end of the day Friday would work best for us . Thanks
