Happy Halloween!

Korea doesn't really dabble in other countries' holidays, but for some strange reason, they make a big deal of Halloween (in the hagwons, anyway). For the past few weeks we've been planning, decorating, and getting the kids excited about this day. Each teacher was to have an activity planned for his room, and the kids would roam from class to class. Though things have been a bit crazy, we were really eager to have a "play day" (which never happens here!)
Paul decided to have a pumpkin coin toss in his classroom, and I would have a mummy toilet paper relay. Ara had bobbing for candy (in flour!), Rachel did a Halloween quiz, Amy did balloon darts, Babbie did a guess-what-this-slimy-thing-is game, and Hong, Jenny, and Sam did face/hand painting. The kids went from place to place, and after completing each activity, received some candy.
It was a very fun day, but TIRING! I thought it would be a cinch, playing games all day, but I think it really tuckered us out. It was really fun watching the kids get into each game, and seeing them laugh, smile, and poke fun at each other. All told, I think I went through about 80 (double) rolls of toilet paper in my room! It just kept piling up on the floor, and poor Mrs. Kim (one of the secretaries) kept coming in to sweep it all into a corner.
The kids had a great time, and definitely were enjoying their sugar high. I had several "repeat offenders" try to come in several times and trick me into giving them candy by making mummies of each other. After a while I figured out who I'd already seen, but I know I gave extra candy away today. What can I say? They were wrapped in white! I can't tell them all apart!
