I meant to put these photos up earlier. They're from the Halloween party/carnival we had at our school. Each pair of teachers was supposed to make some kind of game for the kids to come to. Aaron and i relived one of his favorite childhood memories by making a giant cardboard box maze for the kids to crawl through. Unfortunately, the boxes were smaller than we'd first thought and it was incredibly claustrophobic, but at least the little kids could go through. here is a picture of the line down the hallway waiting to go in.
we had the door curtained off so all they could see was the entrance to the tunnel when the came up to the door. we'd recorded 'scary' music which was playing in the room as they crawled through. there was also a big rubber snake (which caused one little girl to cry and have to be evacuated through an emergency exit we'd incorporated.) and cardboard flaps we could reach our hands in to grab the kids legs as they crawled through. 
i have a short video but for some reason couldn't upload it to the site. when the kids were crawling through, the whole tunnel came to life. i didn't think it would last more than a few minutes, but somehow it lasted the whole time (with some extra taping throughout).
