ceciliafelsenstein Most of our students celebrate Halloween in some way or another… so, why not plan some ELA Halloween activities for our middle and high school students?
Here you’ll find some different almost no-prep ideas to work during October or November with your pupils:
1. HALLOWEEN TABOO: What’s better than a game to engage your students? This no prep game includes 40 cards for you to have a great time working on vocabulary, fluency and team building.
2. HALLOWEEN IDIOMS: There are several spooky expressions that English speaking people use. This time of the year is excellent to work on those idioms and teach your pupils their meanings, their origins and how to use them in everyday language.
3. HALLOWEEN VOCABULARY: Teach your students some new words related to Halloween so that they can enrich their vocabulary, solve a crossword puzzle and write a spooky description. You can play some games later to help them incorporate the new words.
4. READING STORIES: You can always appeal to the reading of classic Halloween stories! Students love them! They usually enjoy reading horror stories and feel that they are just “wasting time”. However, you can profit from those stories and work on critical thinking, comprehension and even on some vocabulary.
All these activities will help you have a super fun October without worrying about planning or creating resources for your pupils! You can just print them and get to work! Hope you enjoy these ELA Halloween Activities for Middle & High School! Happy Halloween!
