If Halloween falls on a school day, which it usually does, it is a mixed bag of craziness for teachers. The kids are hopped up on sugar and can’t focus with all those silly costumes around them. No one is learning anything that day. If teachers get to wear costumes, it is the one day of the year when they can temporarily abandon their “adult in charge” image and become someone else. Many brave teacher souls will actually ask their students for costume ideas prior to the big day. And the most fearless of the group includes their face on a blank body so students can draw the costume onto it.
This activity is only for the most confident teacher who doesn’t mind kids pointing out their perceived flaws, like acne problems and extra baby weight. Ask kids with too much confidence and zero sense of boundaries for ideas, and you won’t believe what you’ll get! Suddenly, you will realize that your students aren’t giving costume ideas, they’re actually staging a roast. But sure, let’s hear them out. What could possibly go wrong?
