What Should My Teacher Be for Halloween? Good Question!

Sometimes it’s hard to decide on that perfect Halloween costume when you’re a grown-up. You never know if other grownups will laugh at you, or if you’ll look weird, or if your outfit suits you as a person. This year, take the stress off your shoulders and have your students decide on your Halloween costume!

Brainstorm, Draw, and Write! Picking the Perfect Teacher Costume is Easy!

With this printable Halloween writing activity pack, your students will brainstorm, sketch, and write about their most ingenious Halloween costume ideas for their beloved teacher. It’s an exercise in creativity that’ll have them conjuring up costumes that are “spook-tacularly” unique!

We have included a variety of resources for students with specific needs. For students who benefit from visual aids, our pack includes graphic organisers and planning guides to help them organise their thoughts, whether scribbling about a teacher-turned-witch or a professor-turned-pilot.
