I was able to participate in Longhorn Halloween by engaging children in a fun activity called "Ring Toss" where children have fun tossing a glowing ring to a pumpkin stem. After children finish with the activity I distributed candy that Longhorn Halloween provided us. Overall my experience was great because I was one of the organizers of this event and I was able to have a lot of fun playing with the children. Moreover, the creativity it took to come up with the activity and also the poster we created.
We gave candy and played games with children of the UT community. We dressed up and gave up a few our of Sunday to foster happiness.
Gave 3.00 hours between 10/29/2016 and 10/30/2016 with The University of Texas at Austin, ULN '17, University Leadership Network
I had a really great experience giving out candy to little kids. So we had a table with three pumpkins so the kids would be able to play "ring toss" with a neon light in the dark band that they had to land on the pumpkin. I really liked how the kids would get excited about making it into the pumpkins and how they enjoyed spending time with their parents wearing their favorite costumes.
We play with children a game of ring toss. Children would have to throw rings into the pumpkin stems. If they landed it they would get candy and if they missed they would get motivation applause and would still get candy since it was not meant for them to make it to the pumpkin, it was for them to have fun and a safe Longhorn Halloween.
