Halloween is perhaps the third most popular holiday for parties, coming after New Year’s and Christmas. With Halloween, we have the opportunity to dress up for the night and “be someone else”.

Team Maker

If you are going to have games, you may require teams. One way to put together the teams randomly, thus encouraging guests who don’t already know each other, is to have them draw pieces from a cauldron(大锅) or witch’s hat. Beforehand, write enough words on pieces of paper to have one for every guest. On the pieces of paper write words like: Egyptian tomb, pyramid, magic wand, magic spell, black cat, etc. Everyone draws a piece of paper.

Dress Up the Dead

This game is not for the shy and may result in some small rude performance. For the game, you will need a put-together skeleton. They can be found in the Halloween section of many stores. The skeleton can be of wood or plastic, so long as it can be taken apart easily and can be recombined together. The host “buries” the broken up skeleton under a pile of sawdust, loose dirt or hay in the yard. The first team, while being timed, must discover all the skeleton pieces then run to where there’s a hook for hanging the skeleton. They must recombine the skeleton and then, donating parts of their own clothing, dress the skeleton in a shirt and pants.

Murder Mystery

Host a murder mystery as a play. Select players, either by volunteers or by random drawing or even have guests vote. While the players read over their parts, the rest of the guests arrange the room. Set up a row of chairs facing the party audience. This will be the “stage” where the murder mystery players will sit and perform their roles. The host keeps the game (play) moving, usually by playing one of the detective characters.

When I was having lunch in a restaurant, I noticed a young man. Dressing in black, he was playing with a smartphone while eating. She smiled at everyone that walked by. All of a sudden, a boy ran into him, making some food dropping on his trousers, what I thought would make him annoyed with the boy.

February 14th is Valentine’s Day! In China, it is only a day for young boyfriends and girlfriends. But my teacher and friends in America told me that Valentine’s Day is a public day.

This was my first Valentine’s Day in America. I didn’t understand the customs(风俗) clearly. Maybe I didn’t need to send any gifts. I watched others to see what they did, so next time I can understand.

On that day, when we began the reading class, Mr. Peters gave every student some chocolates and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!” I was very happy the teacher gave his students gifts and blessings. I never saw that in China. Maybe American teachers are very different. I didn’t buy a gift for the teacher, so I owed(欠) a gift to the teacher. Anyway, I want to say, ”Thank you, Mr. Peters, and I’m sorry.”

When we had a break, one of my classmates gave me a Pokemon card. It was very funny and I felt thankful, but I thought I owed a gift again.

When we were coming to our grammar class, suddenly I heard someone calling me. ”Shelly!” I stopped. Another classmate who had only been in our class one day gave me some chocolates. She said, “These are for you and your friends. Have a good day!” I was looking at her leaving and thinking that we were in the same class only one day, but now we are friends. That’s very great, but I owed a gift again.

When I came home, my Chinese friend sent some roses and chocolates. I was surprised and happy because I had never received roses in my past life, but I hoped it was the last gift. I didn’t want to owe more gifts.

After 7. seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding…I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before 8.big audience disappeared.
