Ghosts in the House

I've just used a new Halloween book, called Ghosts in the House, to teach improvisation and props to the students. In the book, a little witch has a haunted house. She gathers up the ghosts and then uses them for other items, such as curtains, tableclothes, etc. After reading the book, I divided the students into pairs and gave each pair a 1-yard piece of white fabric. Working together, they had to turn their "ghost" into something else. After just a few minutes, the whole class came back together and they showed their new item to the class. They were very creative! I had students turn their ghosts into kleenex, capes, skirts, and more!
