More Ways to Use This Halloween Find-a-Word

Provide some extra practice with more ways to play! Here are some ideas on new ways to use this Halloween Find-a-Word.

• Chilling Charades 

Write each word on a piece of scrap paper, fold it up, and put it into a container. To play, divide your class or small group into 2 teams. Teams will take turns sending up 1 student to choose a word from the bowl and get 30 seconds to act out the word soundlessly for their team. If no one guesses the word, it goes back into the bowl, and no point is given. Once every student has had their turn to act out a word, the game is over and the group with the highest points wins.

• Scary Sentences

Have students practise writing complete sentences with words from the list. Extra points if they can use more than 1 of the words in a sentence!
