Counting sleeps until Halloween with children
A sleep is one night in bed, so the count drops by one each time a child goes to sleep. Tonight is the first of the 15, and the last is the night of Friday, October 30. 5 of them are Friday or Saturday nights, the ones that often run late. Cross one off at bedtime rather than in the morning, so the number on the chart always matches what is left.
When the count gets small it can help to name the nights: three sleeps to go is Wednesday, October 28, two is Thursday, October 29, and the very last sleep is Friday, October 30.
