This year I held a Halloween week at the school, 3 days of American Holiday Show and Tell Time. This time though, most of the kids already had a background of what Halloween was, due to our celebrations last year, so we got to do more fun stuff and less/no presentation. I only really had to show the 1st graders the presentation explaining the origin and traditions of Halloween since they weren't around for last year's. This year was better though because it really was a show and tell, I made a jack-o-lantern and brought it in to show around.
This year we made masks in every grade, they got to pick form one of three styles. They varied greatly in creativity, so I helped out by making one in each class as an example. The cat/batman shape was the most popular after I told them its not just a cat, but also batman. Then all the boys wanted one.

With the younger ones (1-3 grade) we played the mummy game. They one we used to play at elementary school Halloween parties. Teams wrap one member with toilet paper so they look like a mummy, the first team done wins. I had Halloween themed rings as prizes; they were a hit. So much so that I had to give away all my Halloween themed stickers as consolation prizes so I would still be a class favorite.

With the 8th graders we did a word search in English of common Halloween words, and with the 1st graders jack-o-lantern origami. I also gave everyone American candies, Jolly Ranchers, since it seemed to be in the holiday spirit.
Tomorrow night I am in Veliko Turnovo for the annual Volunteer Halloween Party. My costume is awesome, pictures will come later.
