Halloween was celebrated at Poneke House today, with white chocolate strawberry that look like goasts, biscuits witches hats and devil sausages. We had a special bingo game that had instead of number different pictures pertaining to Halloween, like spiders, witches, and pumpkins. The pumpkin and broom race was won by Albert who aimed the paper mache pumpkin through the winning post with a well positioned witches broom. Most remembered the music from the Munsteres TV show than ran between 1964 to 1966, the song the Munster Hop and many many more. Staff came dressed in orange and black with many supporting witches hats. |
