This activity works well in the month of October. On the first of the month, bring in a large, black pot that resembles a witches’ pot. Inside the pot there is a slip of paper that reads: “I am the Witch of the West and I am out gathering ingredients for our Halloween brew.” On designated days, place the bags containing ingredients in the pot. The ingredients should be placed in a pot, inside a plastic bag so that no smell escaped. Place plastic bags within brown paper lunch bags and have appropriate names printed on the outside of the bag. On Halloween, empty all the bags and stir the brew. This recipe is a guarantee for perfect attendance.
