Paper strip pumpkins

Students make lanterns from orange strips of paper and discover different autumn traditions.

Steps

1. Conversation: where Halloween comes from and how it differs from Polish All Souls' Day traditions.
2. Students cut orange paper into strips.
3. They glue them into a sphere through the centre and attach a green stem.
4. They draw happy or scary faces.
5. You hang the pumpkins in the classroom; an LED light can be placed inside.

Tip: Use only LED lights, never candles in paper decorations.

Materials needed

• Orange coloured paper (1 block per 4 children)
• Battery-operated LED lights (a few pieces)
