Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. My children love to decorate the house and the front porch and walkway. I like to gear our home learning in a festive direction for the month of October too! This bundle pack of 4 learning activities will fill our Halloween day with loads of fun. I plan on putting out the matching games (3 Little Monsters, Green Spider and the -ing, and Candy Corn Math) the week of Halloween and then celebrating on the BIG day with all of the games and the simple circuit science lab, Making Connections! The best part of the science lab is I print my own matching worksheet to create the games and I am printing my Halloween themed worksheet from THIS website.

The 3 Little Monsters Matching game and word book includes 24 colorful printable game pieces and a printable 9 page activity booklet to help your students practice reading comprehension in a fun way. The materials can be used individually, in a small group, or learning center! It also teaches your reader to look back into the text for details (a great skill for standardized testing!) Best of all this game and word book cover the common core standard RL.1.1.

Candy Corn Math offers 16 Addition Sentences (and matching answers) that demonstrate and allow students to practice the Commutative Property of Addition. It is a printable Halloween themed activity that can be used in a learning center as a matching game or as 2 file folder games for individual or small group use. It covers common core standard 1.OA.B.3.

Green Spider and the -ing helps your students read, write and practice the –ing suffix. This colorful matching game and word book practices common verbs and adding the –ing suffix to these words. The word book allows your students to practice writing common verbs with the –ing suffix in a fun word book format. It is a 12 page document that includes teaching notes that detail the grammar rules associated with the verbs in the game and book, directions for assembly as a matching game or a file folder game, and coordinating common core standards RF.1.3f, RF.2.3d, L.3.2e!

This packet is a lesson plan for students to create an electronic game using easily sourced materials like aluminum foil, masking tape and brass brads (among others.) The step by step instructions will teach students how to make a simple series circuit. National Content Standards are included with the lesson plan.

I hope your children enjoy these lessons and you have a VERY HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
