Review
I have found this book not only great for school parties but I m having an R.L. Stein Goosebump birthday party for my son and have found many wonderful and useful ideas. Mummy Wrap, Ghoulish Popcorn Hands, Tombstone Favor Cup, and Rattling Bone Brew are just a few of the choices that we have narrowed it down to. I love this book and highly recommend it to every parent and teacher. --Debbie Alles, Teacher, Colorado
I'm a first-time kindergarten homeroom mom for my only child, and your Halloween party book was a blessing. I went from idea-disabled to party-crazed. I thank you for providing resources that will serve me through my daughter's entire elementary adventure. --Pam Kennedy, Satisfied Customer, Pennsylvania
You say that after you've prepared the orange-and chocolate-frosted cupcakes, you don t have the foggiest idea what to do for your kid s Halloween party? Say hello to the face-saver book. There are all kinds of choices for party games, crafts and favors, and drinks, as well as treats to eat in this wonderful idea and instructional book. Best of all, they're REALISTIC suggestions, so readily achieved that they don t intimidate those of us who lack the arts-and-crafts gene. As a matter of fact, many of the ideas are so simple yet undeniably clever they'll make you wonder why you didn't think of them yourself. The 'tricks, treats, and tips' in this book are addressed to room parents, who come into school to assist teachers. In fact, the first part of the book explains how parents and teachers can cooperate in planning and staging a Halloween party. But the fact is, these ideas are perfectly applicable to parties staged at home, even small gatherings of neighbors. The book s 6 how-to chapters are on 'Games,' 'Crafts & Favors,' 'Treats,' 'Drinks,' and quickie costumes that parents acting as hosts can whip up for themselves. The book makes it easy to theme a party, since each chapter has ideas falling into these categories: bats, cats, Frankenstein, ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons, spiders, and witches. The illustrations help clarify the instructions and provide patterns for some of the projects. In Frankenstein's Laboratory game, sealed boxes contain items that kids can t see but must touch. Cooked spaghetti is supposed to be brains, peeled grapes are eyeballs, dried apricots are ears, and cocktail franks are fingers. In Mummy Wrap, kids are divided into teams of two and provided with a roll of toilet paper. On the word 'go,' one kid tries to wrap his partner in paper, leaving his nose, mouth, and eyes alone. Sample crafts include a cute Cat Rock Paperweight, Ghost Glue Necklace, and Pumpkin Candy Jar. Skeleton Favors can easily be made from white twist ties. In the refreshment category, Barbecued Bat Wings are actually chicken wings. Jack-o-Lantern Ice Cream is simply ice cream in oranges that have been hollowed out and carved like Jack-o-lanterns. And Oreo Spiders are Oreo cookies doctored up with black string licorice and cinnamon imperials for eyes. In the drink department, the offerings include Spooky Ghost Milk, Spider Cider, and Witch s Bubbling Brew. --Richard Tambling, MANCHESTER JOURNAL INQUIRER, Manchester, Connecticut, September 1999

A great resource for room parents,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Halloween School Parties . . . What Do I Do? (What Do I Do? series) (Paperback)
Another Mom in my son's classroom lent me this book as I was giving my 6-year old a Halloween themed birthday party. I made the popcorn hands treat which was a HUGE hit. It's a good thing I made extra as I saw parents munching away. Not one was left after the party. We also played the Wrap the Mummy game and the parents loved it as much as the kids. I'm a Room Mom for two classrooms this year. We'll be having a classroom Halloween party and again, I'll be making the popcorn hands and this time I'll put black and orange M&M's in the fingers to try. One Mom loved the Mummy Wrap game so much she will be hosting it at our classroom party. This was such a useful and resourceful book that I have ordered all her books to help me out this year!

Halloween School Parties:What Do I Do?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Halloween School Parties . . . What Do I Do? (What Do I Do? series) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful series of party books-perfect for classroom-size groups of all elementary ages. A couple of years ago I had 2 weeks to pull my 3rd grader's class party together after the room parent had moved. I planned the entire party out of this book. The kids had a great time! It was such a great help that our PTO bought multiple sets of the series as references for our Party Parents!

Halloween School Parties, What Do I Do?,
By G. Sullivan (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Halloween School Parties . . . What Do I Do? (What Do I Do? series) (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book! Every page is packed with great ideas on games or snacks or crafts or costumes! It is very detailed in all aspects. I can honestly say that each page has something I will use in the future for my Brownie Troop (I'm going to have to make these parties very long because I want to use every single idea). Wilhelmina Ripple has provided a very useful and fun book!
