Halloween Georgian Style

This past weekend I had one of the most fun experiences so far of my service...I held a Halloween festival at my school! It was definitely a challenge with no budget and limited resources, but it turned out great!!

I have to say a huge thank you to Mariam, Mariam, and Salome (my awesome 10th graders), as well as to Eddie my sitemate for helping me plan, organize, and put on a successful event! I also have to thank my school and director for supporting me and this project (a lot of other volunteers were not able to hold Halloween because the Orthodox church was opposed). I could not have done Halloween without their help!

The event was organized festival-style with game stations scattered around the room.
We had:

• Pin the face on the pumpkin (pin the eyes and mouth of a jack o lantern on a pumpkin blindfolded)
• Zombie relay (race to wrap your friend in toilet paper before the other pair)
• Make your own mask station
• "Guess how many" candies are in a jar
• Bucket toss (try and toss a ball into 3 buckets of varying distances)
• Costume contest (with kids voting on their favorites - best, prettiest, funniest, and most accurate)
• Costume fashion show
• Bowling 

We had candy at every station to mimic "trick or treating" that kids got for participating.

My station was "pin the face on the pumpkin" so I didn't get much time to get pictures of everything else, but here are the ones I have!
