Witches!

Magical Witch 

Hocus Pocus! Happy Halloween! These magical little witches have been casting spells all around our school!  My students had a blast making these pretty witches for Halloween:) All that's missing is a black cat and a broom!

Little Witch 

This witch is another fun cutting and pasting activity for Halloween incorporating spatial awareness, body awareness, hand-eye coordination, fine motor control and visual-motor integration skills.

Circle of Witches:) 

Witch Template:

Witch Template (body, arm, leg, hand, shoe, and eye)

Witch Template (head and hat)

First, each student cut out the rectangular shaped body (dress) and circular shaped head of their witch.  After pasting the head on top of the body, they were given two legs, two feet (shoes), two arms, two hands and two eyes. The paper body parts were presented one at a time and pasted in order, 2 x 2.  As a finishing touch, the students pasted the witch's hair (shredded green paper) on top of the head and completed her look with a pointy black hat:)  The students used a black sharpie to draw on their witch's nose and smile.

Bewitched:) 

I can definitely recognize the personality of each student shining through the little faces:) 

Witches Casting A Spell! 

 

Witch Song: 

Five Little Witches 

(author unknown) 

Five little witches (hold up five fingers) standing by the door.

One flew out (flying motion with hand)

And then there were four.

Four little witches (four fingers) standing by a tree

One went to pick a pumpkin (picking motion with three fingers)

And then there were three.

Three little witches stirring their brew (stir) 

One fell in

And then there were two (two fingers).

Two little witches went for a run (run with fingers) 

One got lost

And then there was one (one finger).

One little witch, yes, only one (one finger) 

She cast a spell

And now there are none (make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap).

Halloween Matching Boards: 

I made these matching boards this school year and I was lucky to find a variety of matching games from different resources on the web.
