Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire your Halloween-themed classroom activities.
Creative use of tools like Wixie engages students in the curriculum and builds essential skills for the digital age.
Search your Wixie home page for "Halloween" to find templates and activities you can use to build mouse skills, number sense, and word-building foundations.
Students practice counting through the creation of a Halloween (or any holiday!) counting book.
Have students create public service announcements to promote safe behaviors during Halloween and trick-or-treating.
After learning about silhouettes, students combine silhouettes they have created with Halloween backgrounds to create spooky scenes.
Use student excitement about Halloween to get them to practice essential math skills, like this Scary Count activity in Wixie's Templates library.
Students activate facts along with prior knowledge and experience to share what they learned by writing a five sense poem.
Click the play button to listen to the student read the poem.
Capitalize on student excitement about this fun holiday with Halloween-themed writing projects that engage them in narrative, informational, and argument writing.
Use this choice board to put students in charge of how they will demonstrate learning near the Halloween holiday.
