We are now going to present our 3rd project , which is aimed at 1st grade children, aged 6-7
years. We have chosen Halloween as the main theme for our activities, since in addition to being
close to the date, it’s a theme that really excites children and captures their attention.
Before we dive into the different activities, we will begin by introducing the topic for more context.
Halloween isn’t a holiday of Spanish origin, it belongs to the Anglo-Saxon culture. It is celebrated every year on October 31st, when it is traditionally said that witches come out to perform their special rituals.
To work on this topic, we’ve created a gymkhana with 10 different activities, in order to practice reading, writing, fine motor skills, technologies, and multiple intelligences. We’ve grouped them all onto a poster.
To start the lesson, we will divide the class into four groups. Once the groups are made, the teacher will then proceed with the first activity, for which he/she will tell an interactive story that will be shown on the digital whiteboard.

Next, each group will be handed a map with all the activities listed from 1 to 10, so that they don’t get lost or confused. Once everyone is seated, we will begin with activity number 2, HALLOWEEN BINGO, this activity is very simple, and will consist of crossing out the numbers as they appear by spinning the roulette wheel. The boy or girl, who first manages to cross all of the numbers out, wins.

In activity 3 we will get to design a pumpkin. With this interactive application, each student will be able to use their imagination to create a personal pumpkin using their tablet.

Activity 4 will be an interactive activity to learn and work on Halloween vocabulary. For this, we will need to access the following link:

Later, for the 7th activity, we will have fun making pumpkins and ghosts using different fruits. The teacher will explain how the activity is to be carried out, with the help of a video that will be played on the digital whiteboard.

For activity 8, we will make ghost costumes with sheets, following the instructions of a YouTube video presented by a girl named Dany. To make things easier, the teacher will play this video on the digital whiteboard, and everyone will make the costumes together. The costume will also be used for the last activity, where we’ll all dance together.

Activity 9, will consist of practicing logic-mathematics, thanks to an interactive game which can be easily accessed with a tablet. It involves adding fractions, something that we will have already worked on previously in the classroom. As we get the answers right, we continue to level up. When playing the game, it’s easy to see how fun it is and how it’s also in keeping with the Halloween theme, because it has this pumpkin that’s in charge of guiding us and moving us to the next level.

The last activity (10) , will be a Halloween song, with which we will encourage the children to dance and have fun, thus finalizing the topic of Halloween in the classroom.
