Halloween takes place in the fall, when the leaves are changing colors and many foods are harvested.
Many children learn this rhyme at Halloween time: Trick or treat?
Give me something good to eat.
How about having a little fun with the rhyme?
What if we asked for somethingsourto eat?
Can you think of some sour foods?
What if you asked for somethinggreento eat?
Chant Trick or treat?
Give me something _______ to eat…just!
For example, ask for something sweet.
The children can look for something sweet and give it to you.
Encourage them to say Here you are, and be sure to say, Thank you!
Then, have students take turns asking for something good, sweet, sour, salty, etc.
Remember to say, Here you are, and, Thank you!
Here is another fun idea from Slovakia.
They found all the foods used in the song.
It looks like quite the feast!
It combines yummy foods to make them, well, yucky.
Its a great starting point to talk about what foods each student does and doesnt like.
For Halloween, try the sing-along version and have the kids make new combinations.
For example:Do you like spider soup?No, I dont!
Do you have some good ones?
