Spooky Spider Web Fun

Here is a quick activity I did this week for all groups that I thought I would share since tomorrow is the "After Halloween Store Clearance" day!  (I love to see posts about activities before these days so I can get the items at a clearance price since the holiday it is for just happened). 

I got a cute stuffed spider at Barnes and Noble (if you know me, you know me calling ANY type of spider cute is ironic since I am TERRIFIED of them), a black spider web from Michaels (using my 40% off coupon, of course), and printed clipart of flies from my Microsoft Publisher program that I increased in size to be 3" X 3" and printed on white cardstock and cut out.  I just placed the web on the floor, placed flies randomly on the web, and had kids stand behind a certian line to toss the spider onto juicy flies.

 

If the spider lands on the fly, or if any part of the spider lands near it (ex. a leg touching), then they get to grab that fly.  The student with the most flies at the end of the game wins.  This game works for all ages and all goals.  Gotta love that!
