Get ready for a week full of hair-raising Halloween-themed activities! Our Discovery Club will be jam-packed each day with popular group activities, plenty of outdoor fun, Halloween themed arts and crafts galore and fun trips. For Halloween, we’ve got some frightfully fun activities planned, like making witch and wizard potions, Halloween decorations to display at home, spooky slime, petrifying pizzas and pumpkin carving. Our aim is to take our Discovery children on a daily journey of discovery, pushing their personal limits from using their critical thinking skills through engaging problem-solving activities with friends, to challenging themselves physically with new experiences. They will discover new places on outings, learn new skills, and celebrate their accomplishments along the way.
On Monday morning, we will make loom band bracelets and hama beads, play outdoor games at the local park and do an apple pumpkin painting. In the afternoon, we will make homemade autumn pear pie, witch and wizard potions, as well as witch charm bracelets, and play some more group games with music and movement.
On Tuesday, our Discovery group will go swimming at Braywick Leisure Centre followed by a trip around Braywick Nature Reserve feeding the birds, making dens and playing group games. Back at club, we will make autumn leaf shortbread biscuits, play What’s in the Spooky Box game and finish off the day with some games (with prizes to be won).
On Wednesday, we will design our own 3D larger than life Haunted House, play pumpkin tic tac toe and do some pumpkin carving. We will make spooky slime and have a laugh trying the ‘eating a doughnut from a string’ challenge. We will play a range of hilarious group games such as ‘Zombie Walk with Balloons’ and the Booling Game (where we will make our own skttles and ball. We will finish the day making mummified pastry sausages.
On Thursday, we will be baking spooky cakes to take along to the Maidenhead Salvation Army to donate the cakes to the food bank. We will make petrifying pizza for dinner, have a laugh with apple bobbing and play an in-house Trick or Treat game. We will dance the afternoon away at our Halloween party with a DJ playing taking requests for the coolest songs.
Finally on Friday, we are off to the cinema to see the latest and greatest children’s film. Back at camp, we will enjoy henna and glitter tattoos, make firework pictures and make salt dough Diya and Diwali fruit rockets. Depending on the weather, we will also make a trip to Grenfell Park to play some group games and spend time on the playground in the morning.
