Halloween Art Activity and Lesson for Kids. Autumn, Day of the Dead

Here is a project that the students of grade 5, 6 and secondary will en-joy. The symbol of the skull, banned in some schools ( in my school ), finds its way to Halloween .

It is interesting to study the customs of other cultures on the Day of the Dead, as the « Dia de los muertos » in Mexico.

One of boys’ favorites.
