Introduction
Indonesian society, generally not too familiar with Halloween. Halloween is not a celebration of great interest to the people of Indonesia. Halloween celebrations in Indonesia are not as vibrant as the celebration of other big days. Only certain circles celebrate Halloween. But sometimes the kids at school ask about the Halloween. To their knowledge, Halloween is a frightening celebration and there are many things that are negative. But there are some positive aspects I can take from Halloween and try to present and create to the students. An interesting learning that is positive for children, that is coloring various Halloween characters. By presenting various Halloween characters in their unique and friendly form, they are not afraid of the basically sinister nature of Halloween as they see on television. It provides positive education for students through this method of learning.
