Engaging History Activity Before Halloween:

It is difficult to keep students engaged before a holiday and kids love Halloween. This escape room can have students focus their Halloween excitement to learn about the history of Halloween Traditions. They can work with a partner, a team, or by themselves to complete activities focused on five Halloween Tradition topics: Jack o' Lanterns, Trick or Treat, Halloween Candy, Halloween Costumes, and Haunted House. The Haunted House activity has two options: one which mentions decapitation and death masks, the other is not as macabre. Each activity contains topical information and student instructions.

Students will complete the following types of activities:

• maze
• puzzle
• code breaking
• map
• timeline

Teachers can choose to have students check their work after they finish each challenge in order to earn parts of a puzzle. Completed puzzles could be turned in for prizes. There is also a completed prize card provided.

Students can work at their own pace as teachers have topic labels which can be displayed throughout the classroom to show students where to find their next challenge.

When the challenge is complete, students can complete follow up questions to review the information they have learned about Halloween Traditions. The questions review what students have learned as well as having students make connections with prior their knowledge. These could be used as written assignments or to lead class discussion.

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Ghostly Self Portraits Unit was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. It is best to use grey newsprint paper if you have it, but if you do not you could use white drawing paper (if you give the white paper a grey-ish look ahead of time). I used pencil to sketch everything out in student sketchbooks and on final copy newsprint paper. I used black crayon OR black oil pastel (depending on grade level) to first outline the major features of the pencil drawing. The older students used oil pastels. After outlining, white crayon OR white oil pastels were used for the self-portrait eyes, and a few other areas. Pattern was a focus throughout the composition whether it showed up on the person or in the background. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
