Use this poem to start a discussion about how children will dress up for Halloween.
Ghosts and goblins,
A princess and more.
Which happy children
Will reach my door?
You might replace the words of the rhyme with some of the costumes students are planning to wear. For example:
A witch and a movie star,
A Transformer and more.
Which happy children
Will reach my door?
