Using an old pajama shirt, fabric scraps, ribbon, and steam-a-seam, I came up with what I think looks like a fairly recognizable Frankenstein. They decide that repurposing old t-shirts and turning them into Halloween wear is a better alternative.
Use them as emergency sub plans and simply have your students read the story and complete the comprehension questions.Īs a bonus, I have included a short, close reading passage about pumpkins, which also includes reader response questions and a context clue worksheet that uses vocabulary from the reading passages.įinally, if you are looking to connect the story to a craft activity, the lesson plans include a Halloween T-Shirt Making Craftivity and a recipe for a “Spooky Snack Sack.” This craftivity came from the story, where the characters come up with an alternative to buying expensive costumes. You don’t even need to read these scripts aloud as a group. Everything required for the lesson is included in a single printable PDF download. You won’t need any additional books or resources. One thing teachers love about my scripts and toolkits is how flexible they are. This Halloween Theatre Activity Pack is bursting with all the resources and activities needed to create an amazing spooky play in the classroom or at home. If you haven’t yet tried reader’s theater with your middle school students, this is the perfect resource to give it a try! Halloween themes are usually “easy wins” with big kids, and this resource will help you tie some seasonal fun back to purposeful reading and writing work.
