5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for room parents, October 24, 2000

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Halloween School Parties:What Do I Do?, October 23, 2000

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Halloween School Parties, What Do I Do?, September 26, 2000

By	G. Sullivan (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

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!
