“ On the 30th of October, some activities related to Halloween took place in the institute. 1st and 2nd level students took part and had fun.

The activities were:

-         Pumpkin ring toss game: In this game you had to throw a ring to a cone with a pumpkin. There were two teams, which aimed to measure the air in the cone.

-         Basketball: There were also two teams, as in the previous activity. The team which was faster hitting the ball won the game.

-         The hot pumpkin: we had to pass a hot plastic pumpkin while the music was playing. When the music stopped, whoever had the pumpkin in his hand lost the game until there was only one student left.

-         Wrap the mummy: This activity consisted in the wrapping of a student in toilet paper, making him/her look like a mummy.

-         Musical activity: For this game the students were supposed to wear black clothes with paper bones glued to them. There were two parts. In the first one, we listened and sang the Addams family song. In the second one, we had to dance a skeleton´s song.

It was a funny and scary hour!”
