Classroom Halloween Party Prep

It’s Monday, and Halloween is on Friday this year, so it’s class party crunch time! Here’s my timeline for the week before a class party, hopefully it’ll help you pull together you’re own to-do list for this week.

Monday

• Send reminders to parents who signed up to donate items for the party. Ask to have all items by Wednesday.
• Double-check outfit for party day to make sure you have everything and it’s all clean.

Tuesday

• Prep any activities for party day – make all the copies and gather supplies.

Wednesday

• Inventory donations for party that have come in and follow up on items that are missing.
• Write and send home letter about the party, include details such as rules about costumes, planned activities, whether parents are able to participate, and times for events.

Thursday

• Do any decorating (check out my printable Halloween decoration set!)
• Pick up any last minute supplies
• Review activity plans
• Lay out outfit
• Pack up any items that you need to bring in the day of the party

Friday

• Don’t stress! Party days should be fun, if things don’t go as planned it’s ok. Roll with it and try to enjoy the children’s energy and excitement.
