Ghost Tunnel

For Halloween 2013, I made a ghost house for my students. I made it in the smaller classroom which was being used for storage.
To make the tunnel you line up some chairs facing outwards. You then cover the inside of the chairs in the tunnel with a black bin bag. Then you tape some bin bags above the top of the chairs to make a roof.
At the end of the tunnel leave a small space so the students can stand up. In this space you can place a game or a trick. I put 4 bowls and in each was a different item. In the first I put spaghetti with sweets inside (I used sweets in wrappers for this), the second was a sticky substance. I chose a liquid candy. In the third bowl was just sweets and in the last one was baked beans! The students couldn't see what was inside so they got a surprise!
If you have dim lights then use them. In my case we used my laptop for a dim light and I played some scary music.
You can also add ghost for an extra spook factor. I printed out a ghost head and attached it to a shredded bin bag,
The students crawl through the tunnel (for the braver ones you can grab their legs), then they get to the end and chose which bowl. My students loved it and the queue went on for 3 hours (it was a big school).
