Creative Assignment:

 Designing a 

Halloween Room

- for kindergarten

- for residential care 

center

Step 1 : create your idea

Design a spooky but fun Halloween room that is safe for both children  and adults.

Pick a specific Halloween theme (e.g., haunted house, creepy forest, vampire castle) to make your room unique.

Think about how you can use decorations, colors, and lighting to create a spooky atmosphere while keeping it safe.

Step 2: Plan and Decorate

Decorations: Use items like pumpkins, fake spider webs, skeletons, and ghosts. Make sure everything is secure so it doesn’t fall or cause accidents.

Lighting: Use soft, dim lights for a spooky feel, but make sure the room is bright enough so visitors can see clearly. Use LED candles or lanterns instead of real candles for safety.

 

Entrance and Exit: Make sure there are no obstacles at the doors so visitors can easily come in and out.

Step 2: Plan and Decorate

Walking and Sitting Areas: Keep the floor clear of wires or sharp objects. Use soft materials or furniture with rounded edges.

 

Entrance and Exit: Make sure there are no obstacles at the doors so visitors can easily come in and out.

Step 3: Focus on Safety

Child-Friendly: Remember that loud noises or sudden movements might scare young children. Be careful when using things like moving decorations or sound effects.

Emergency Exits: Plan a clear path for visitors to follow, with exits that are well-lit and easy to find.

Step 3: Focus on Safety

Fire Safety: Do not use real candles or any open flames. Make sure all decorations are made of materials that don’t catch fire easily.

Prevent Falls: Use rugs or mats that won’t slip, and keep the floor clear of objects that people could trip over.

Step 4: Make a Model of Your Room

You can do this by:

Finding pictures on the internet of decorations, furniture, and lighting that match your theme.

Making your own drawings to show how your room would look.

Arrange these pictures or drawings in a way that shows where everything will go in your room.

Step 5: Present Your Design

Along with your model, make a drawing or floor plan of your room showing where the furniture, decorations, and lights will go.

Give a short presentation explaining how your design combines safety with the spooky Halloween theme.
