How Do YOU Celebrate Halloween? PowerPoint for Milford Elementary
Here's the files, images, and information that we'll use today to learn how to create a PowerPoint presentation about how YOU celebrate Halloween. We'll start off with an empty template file, and work our way up to the completed project, found here:
Jump to the next page for all of the images and information you will need!
Each section below should be a new slide in your project. You can get the starter template above. The easiest way to get images for your project is to do a Google image search for 'Halloween Clip Art'.
Slide 2 - When is Halloween? What day is Halloween celebrated around the world on?
Slide 3 - Early Halloweens: Halloween originated in Ireland by the Celtic people, over 2000 years ago to mark the end of summer.
Slide 4 - Jack-O-Lanterns: Today, Jack-o-lanterns are carved from pumpkins and lit with candles. Originally the Celts used carved turnips to light their way.
Slide 5 - Trick or Treat: Today children dress up in funny or scary costumes and go from door to door in their neighborhood seeking treats.
Slide 6 - Spooky Things: Some of the spooky things you might see on Halloween are haunted houses, ghosts, skeletons, witches, black cats and bats!
Slide 7 - Happy Halloween: Have fun and be safe on October 31!
If there's time, here are a few scary Halloween sounds that you can import to your project (obtained from Countess Bloods Halloween Horror site - clean):
