Halloween Sentence Stems

Use these 25 Halloween sentence stems / starters to get your students speaking or use them as writing prompts. These sentence starters fun at any level or age. Use these with primary or middle school students. I've included four completely different ways to use this resource. See the preview for more details.

This resource is included in my Halloween Bundle

Includes:

25 cards to print, cut out, and laminate: Use these no-prep speaking prompts year after year. This is a great way to enhance your program by practicing oral production during the month of October.

25 half page worksheets to use as writing prompts: These are meant for primary students as they include space to draw a picture and there is only space for a short paragraph. These are perfect for literacy centers.

25 full page worksheets to use as writing prompts: These are meant for middle school students. These prompts are a helpful way to "get started" when looking for something to write about.

25 sentence stem strips: Print and cut out the strips, punch holes in the spaces provided, and hook them together with a ring. Students can read the sentence stems and complete the sentences by using words they have learned to form the remainder of their sentences. Provide students with a set of stem strips that they can work on at their own pace. Unlike the writing prompts, these strips are meant to elicit short answers.

Other ways you can use these sentence stems:

✎ Daily 5 rotations

✎ Use in writing centres

✎ Fast finishers

✎ Tutoring sessions

✎ No prep sub materials

✎ Morning work / morning meetings
