Halloween Countdown Week One: Ready Set BOO!!!
It’s BOO WEEK….time to get organized! This is the week for planning, calendars, and lists. We will break down the preparations into small, simple steps and create a framework for Halloween planning over the next six weeks. Let’s work on setting up a Halloween Planner or notebook this week, check out the home front, and get ready to enjoy the beauty of autumn!
To Do This Week:
[ ] Plan on spending a short amount of time each day thinking and planning for fall and the activites that occur during the autumn months.
[ ] Set up a Halloween/Autumn planner in a notebook or binder. Or create a section in your seasonal planner for Halloween
[ ] Create a cover and spine for your notebook, Scrap photos from past Halloweens or search magazines for lovely autumn pictures to use. Add section dividers and you are all ready!
[ ] Make or find a planning calendar. For the Halloween Planner you will need the months of September and October. If you are creating a Autumn Planner you will need September -November since you may include Thanksgiving in this planner.
[ ] Copy, paste and print each of the weekly lists or you may access printable versions through the link listed at the end of each week. You may file these behind your calendars in the notebook or perhaps you prefer to create six sections and place each one behind the correct section.
[ ] Autumn traditions: Spend a bit of time thinking about fun autumn traditions. Which ones have you enjoyed in the past? What are some new ones you would like to add?
[ ] Planning a Halloween or autumn party? Create or print some party planner pages to use as you begin planning the event. Or make simple lists for guests, menu, shopping list, game list, and decorations to make or buy.
[ ] Once you have your guest list started, locate addresses and copy or print them. File them in your notebook.
[ ] Pumpkin Patch visit: Look at the calendar and jot down a date for this wonderful fall activity.
