Make creative writing spooktacularly fun with this Halloween Roll a Story activity! Students roll the dice to create their own Halloween-themed tale, featuring spooky characters, eerie problems, and festive settings.

Contents:
The Halloween Roll a Story activity is a thrilling way for students to engage in creative storytelling while embracing the spooky season! This resource includes 6 Halloween-themed characters, 6 problems, and 6 settings. Students will roll a dice to randomly select a character, a problem, and a setting, which they will then use to create a unique Halloween story.

Once students have rolled and selected all three elements, they can map out their ideas and write their spooky story on one of the included lined paper templates.

How the Product is Used:
Students start by rolling a dice three times—once for the character, once for the problem, and once for the setting. The number they roll will correspond to the Halloween-themed options provided.

This activity encourages creativity, storytelling, and writing practice, all with a festive Halloween twist!
