Mummy Wrap: Pair up the students and hand each team a roll of toilet paper. They can take turns wrapping each other up to transform into spooky mummies! It’s a fun and silly way to encourage teamwork. Spider Count and Stack: Place straws into a ball of playdough. Students can roll a die and add that number of spider rings onto the straw. For younger preschoolers you can skip the die and simply let them place the spider rings on the straws for a fun activity that helps develop hand-eye coordination.
