If there’s something strange in your neighbourhood….who you gonna call?

Hi, so it is day nine of Spooky month, and the countdown to Halloween. Hope that you are all doing well, and taking good care. Save some energy for the night itself. To keep you in the mood though here is a lovely song for this spirity time of the year 🙂

This year why not spend some time dancing at Halloween. Whether you be a ghost, vampire or mummy. Why not celebrate by moving your bones around a bit 🙂 Here are a few things to look at to help you along with that.

Groovy ghosts and Stomping skeletons. It’s good for you if you just go with the Halloween jig. Moving in motion to the music 🙂

Maybe you can make up your own dance for this one:

Here are a few songs about that thing that keeps us all in one piece. The skeleton…where would you be without it?

Halloween is of course a very big thing in the USA, and of course we have many things that come from their tradition. The pumpkin seems to be one of those things that we now do quite a bit. I don’t really have the patience for doing it, but if you do then here is a video to help you doing it:

And don’t forget that when you have carved your pumpkin you can make something like this:

This was a piece of music that was played to us when I was at school. It is incredibly creepy, scary and frightening. So try not to hide behind the sofa unless you need to of course. Here is the music that has the skeletons dancing:

If you want a bit of a gruesome challenge, then you can do no better than making these sweet eyes. I think they would taste spectacular, but will probably take quite a bit of work. Have fun, but be organised when you are doing it:) Mmmmm jelly
