“Abrakadabra”– suddenly the most magical school there is appears in China.
On the damp un-haunted castle grounds the autumn leaves were rustling, the air was crispy and the twisted trees were swooshing. Outside the academic walls there were no scarecrows or Jack-o-Lanterns, but inside there was an American culture to be discovered. Creeaak……Creeaak. Ding…Dong….. “Trick-or-Treat”
My co-workers!
All through the eerier cricks and crannies of Kings English for Kids hallways children were howling, parents were buzzing and teachers were cackling.
“Happy Halloween!” I gleefully said to my class.
Candy tracked the halls.
The children took in the festivities with owl like eyes. A boiling cauldron of words were learned with no groaning: Ghost, Witch, Spider and Pumpkin.
And games of finding the hidden orange pumpkins were met with no moanings but with lots of shrieks of delight while they scurried around the classroom dungeon.
Evening tides came to a close. Adorable munchkins made squeaking replies of “trick-or-treat” while their parents handed out sweet old-fashion Chinese candy.
There were no growls and no screams. It was a marvelous nightfall at Kings English for Kids.
“BOO” – I hope this post didn’t scare you but fill you with dorky smiles.
“Happy Halloween!”
Have you ever experienced Halloween outside your home country? If so, what was it like?
