Students love Day of the Dead. This resource lets students practice their artmaking skills while playing a Roll the Dice game to create a calavera. Simple instructions and game board are included along with multiple choices of blank calaveras for students to create their own unique sugar skull. With high student engagement, this multicultural resource is a great way to bring Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) into your classroom.

This resource includes a game board and instructions plus 2 blank game boards (dice numbers and all categories are included on 1, dice numbers and 2 categories with the rest of the categories blank on the other), multiple blank calaveras for students to use to create their calavera in the game plus so much more!

2 assessments - 1 for elements of art and 1 for principles of design are also included with a calavera so students can create a calavera using the elements or principles then describe their work for your assessment.

The game is perfect to leave as a sub lesson for grades 2-5 (or middle school). Laminate blank game boards and calaveras and let students design their own game using dry erase markers, then play the game they created, or simply print out paper copies. It can be used as an activity for students who finish another project early since it is self-directed and can be played by 1 or multiple students.

Multiple variations and suggestions are included. National Core Arts Standards and TEKS (for those teachers in Texas) are included for grades 2-5.
