Holiday Name: National Chocolate Day
Celebration: October 28
There are a couple of chocolate days celebrated within the year. Chocolate Day, National Chocolate Day and International Chocolate Day. This day is a good day to eat everything chocolate like cakes, ice cream, cookies, pies, and candies so go ahead and indulge yourself with chocolate!
Chocolate Lessons:
Give each child a packet of M&Ms and let them sort and graph by color.
They have to make a prediction of how many candies they think are in the bag and then they open and count. Then, read the M&M Counting Book and use their candies as I read the book to them.
Let them do a taste test of milk, dark and white chocolate and let the class vote or tally which they like best and graph the results.
You could make chocolate pudding using instant pudding and milk. This would be a measurement lesson or activity.
Take chocolate sauce and let them paint with it like finger paint and lick their fingers clean.
Hershey's Kiss hunt game for the class to play.
If you can, watch Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for some fun!

I just came across your blog and totally love it. I know that clipart can always be used in the classroom. I came across this site which offers unlimited access to the clipart. Plus new items are added almost daily. Take a peek at it http://www.digiscrappy.info/ Look for Teachers and Church Teachers.Missy Mae
