In the summer
of 2005
we had a Things that go bump in the night themed sleepover.
Our sixes were Witches, Vampires and Bats.

When we first arrived we
made a tombstone to keep our crafts in, and a
spooky spider and sandwich to eat. We then had a picnic in the park.
|
We practiced staking vampires by throwing
darts at water balloons, hunted wearwolfs and subdued them with a
silver (water) pistol and then played a spooky spider relay game. We
then played a zombie game using our tombstones and vampire tag.
Afterwards we had a race to see who could assemble a skeleton the
fastest.
Next we made beeswax candles, luminaries (using a hammer and nail to
make holes in a tin can), glow in the dark fridge magnets and glow in
the dark vampire shrinkles.
We then had dinner. The cooks (Vampires) helped to make chips, hotdogs
and
baked beans followed by ice cream and fruit salad. Bats helped to lay
and
clear the table and Witches helped to wash up.
We then made glow in the dark pencil toppers
and got changed into our costumes ready for a spooky party. We played
Who am I?, Pin the wart on the witch, Worm pie (wonderfully messy!),
Wrap the Mummy, and
Spider pinata.
We then got ready for bed and played Werewolves. Those of us who were
not sleepy then watched A Series of Unfortunate Events and ate a
midnight feast.
On Sunday morning the cooks (Witches) helped
to
prepare co-co pops, toast, crumpets and croissants. The Vampires helped
to lay
and clear the table whilst the Bats helped to wash up.
We then played a game in our sixes where we hunted for shapes with
different letters and then solved their riddle. After that we made
three ghosts happy enough to rest in peace - we made up games and toys
for a child ghost, gave a theatrical ghost the chance to act in one
last play and helped a ghost killed by a vampire to hunt and destroy
her killer.
The cooks (Bats) then helped to make pizza
and baked potato and jelly and ice cream for lunch. The Bats helped to
wash up and the Witches helped to lay and clear the table.

In the afternoon we played a game where
we had to solve clues and
collect ingredients for a spell. We then played Spooky spider relay and
Werewolves.
We all gained our Craft badge during
the sleepover and either a Sleepover or Another Sleepover badge.
