History of Halloween Traditions Escape Room
By Colleen Burdette
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:
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.

Directions
Step 1: Roll the Dice
Begin by rolling the dice to determine the key components of your story. Use the chart below to match each dice roll to the corresponding element for your story. Record your results:
After rolling, students will have a list of elements to include in their story.
Step 2: Plan The Story
Now that students have their monster’s characteristics, setting, and plot twist, they will take a moment to brainstorm how these elements will work together in your narrative. Students should think about:
Create a brief outline, if needed, to help organize your ideas.
Step 3: Write The Story
Using the elements from their dice rolls, students begin writing their story. They should make sure their narrative has a clear beginning, middle, and end. As they write, students will focus on the following:

Halloween Vocabulary Words Game - I have...Who has?
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
Halloween Game - I have...Who has?
This version includes 24 cards. Depending on class size you could either give each student more than one card or have them play with a partner. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.
Here's how this game works. Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says I'll start the game begins the game. He says, for example, I'll start the game. I have a pumpkin. Who has a spider? The person who has the card with a spider on it says, I have a spider. Who has a broom? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student's card will say, The game is over. Happy Halloween!
Another idea is to prepare two sets of cards, divide your class into two groups and let each group have a go to see which team can get through the entire deck of cards the fastest. It's a lot of fun, and though you can play with younger students the older ones love this game just as much.
