For teachers, Halloween is often filled with excitement and fun, but also anxiety about what to do with a whole room full of students who are definitely thinking way more about trick-or-treating than they are about anything you're teaching. Here are 4 resources that can help pass the time until the big day! They are ordered from "most academic" (in my opinion) to "least academic."
1. Halloween Articles and Texts Sets from Newsela
Newsela is a website that provides high-interest news articles to students. Teachers love Newsela because they can level articles according to students' reading needs.
2. Halloween Lessons on Nearpod
Nearpod is a very popular multimedia presentation tool. With a paid subscription (either individual or through a school license), you can access these pre-made lessons having to do with math, history, and ELA.
3. Halloween Kahoot Trivia
Kahoot has an extensive list of Halloween-themed trivia games.
4. Halloween Mountain Games from Dimension's Edge
Halloween Hangman is an all-time classic, and now they have even more fun games to offer! This site does use Adobe Flash, so if you are using an iPad, you will need a browser like Puffin to play them.
Whatever you decide to do in those tricky days leading up to Halloween - good luck to you!
