Nishi Elementary School’s “Spooktacular” Halloween!

Nishi Elementary School students celebrated Halloween with fun and interesting activities last Friday, October 29, 2021. The JTE, ALTs and Japanese English Support prepared exciting games that the students enjoyed.

Upon entering the English classroom, students were in awe of the colorful Halloween decorations that made them feel the happy Halloween vibes. They sang and danced Halloween songs as a fun warmup. They learned different Halloween-related words backed with illustrations. Surprisingly, a lot of students are familiar with some words already! The students played Memory Game, “What’s In The Box?”, and Frog VS. Spider Game. Classes were divided into groups so they can all enjoy the activities simultaneously. Students had a great time playing the games and they were very happy to get cute and colorful stickers as prizes!

As for the schoolwide activity, all students made and drew on their own origami pumpkin in various colors. They were taught to say the popular expression during Halloween season, "Trick or Treat!". As a treat, each student was given cute Halloween cards!

To cap off the Halloween special class, the students showed their creativity and artistic side by drawing their own monsters and coloring Halloween posters. The Halloween celebration was filled with fun and laughter and the students along with their teachers felt so happy about the opportunity to celebrate this spectacular event together!
