Students move around the game board using dice, and if they land on a space indicated, they pull out the corresponding card:
Story Card: Based on the prompt, the player writes one or two sentences to continue the story. This encourages narrative writing and sequencing.
Writing Prompt: The player writes a short answer or a sentence based on the prompt. These prompts might ask students to describe a Halloween event, character, or setting.
"Trick or Treat": These cards have fun actions or challenges. For example, "Trick: Skip your next turn!" or "Treat: Move ahead 2 spaces!" Some cards might also involve writing a quick sentence, such as "Write a sentence using the word 'spooky.’”
Two versions of the same game have been included so you can differentiate them for your students. Includes UK and US spelling variations.
This pack includes:
