Blogtober Day 28: Gap Year Adventures: Halloween Fun

Back at the Youth Cafe today and the start of Halloween Camp. We had six kids aged 8 to 11 in for a fun morning of all things Halloween. Starting off we did a get -to- know- you circle followed by Halloween story telling, Next things got messy. We (should I say the kids.. but I did join in too) painted masks and also lanterns. After break we made Halloween cupcakes and biscuits which I got to do with the kids and set each one a task, such as putting in the egg, mixing the bowl.. etc. While the buns and biscuits were cooking we jumped into some Halloween games. First up good old Basin Ducking. I know what your thinking kids and bowls of water not a good idea. You'd be right. Let's just say the was more water on the kids (and floor) than in the bowls but they had great fun and ducked out loads of treats. After they were somewhat dry we did a brilliant game of snap apple where the boys did beat us but the girls finished the entire apple between them.

I actually really enjoyed the day, probably just as much as the kids. It's great to get an opportunity like this to get experience in different areas and also have fun. Sure thats what a Gap Year is for.
