3 MUST HAVE HALLOWEEN RESOURCES TO COVER ALL OF OCTOBER!

1- Kick off the month with a hilarious class game of WOULD YOU RATHER? Halloween edition.

Students are given 2 unsavory but funny choices and must decide which they would prefer. Your students are guaranteed to have a great time, as well as to connect with their peers. Students move to the A or B side of the room to indicate their choice. My favorite thing about this game is that students are constantly shifting sides and they get to see that they have commonalities with nearly every person in their class. It is a wonderful tool for creating friendships!

2- Short Film Workshop: ALMA

❤AWARD WINNING PIXAR SHORT FILM: ALMA

LITERARY ELEMENTS/DEVICES:
