Celebrating Halloween With English Club…

This will go down as one of my most fun and interesting Halloween’s ever.  Having never lived outside of the USA for a full  year before, or ever, it is amazing to share traditions and holidays with another culture.  It was incredible how something as simple as carving pumpkins can become as fun and endearing as it was when I was ten years old.

Besides learning to dance Thriller, I believe this was the most favorite activity of the day.  Passing The Apple!!!  We did it twice with two teams of 12ish and it was a blast!!  We could have done this ten times over and people would have loved it.

No English Club is complete without a fun quiz and today was no exception!!  Even I learned something new today!!

Potter Prince was Harry Potter, kinda cute with the name and all.  Susan was a Cat Bulgur and Nazgol was Fall.  People are so creative.  I love it!!!

I was very uncreative this year.  But I already have a plan for next year and I am really excited about it.  And my plan does not include Katerina’s blinking pink horns, but I wish it did.  I love the horns!!!

Today was so fun…exhausting just as it was when I was a kid, but so worth the entertainment and opportunity to share.
