Calm Pumpkin Breathing
🎃 Halloween is exciting — sometimes TOO exciting! When the wiggles or the spooks get big, breathe around the pumpkin.
🐢 How to do it: finger on the stalk. Trace DOWN one side breathing in… UP the other side breathing out. Go around 5 times, slower each time.
💚 Trick-or-treat tip: do 3 pumpkin breaths before knocking on each door — spooky costumes feel much friendlier with a calm body!

Real or Pretend?
Name:
Date:
🤔 Halloween is full of PRETEND scary things — and knowing what's pretend makes them fun instead of frightening! Write R (real) or P (pretend).
👻 A ghost in a film ___ 🕷️ A garden spider ___ 🧛 A vampire costume ___ 🦇 A bat in the sky ___
🎃 A talking pumpkin ___ 🐱 A black cat ___ 🧟 A zombie on TV ___ 🦉 An owl hooting ___
💬 Talk about it: the REAL ones (spiders, bats, cats, owls) are just animals doing their thing — nothing spooky at all! Which real "Halloween animal" is secretly your favourite?
🎨 Design a costume that is funny instead of scary. Draw it!
