🦇 We’re Batty for a Good BOO-k! 📙

It’s almost Halloween, that spooky season when black cats prowl dark corners and eerie jack-o’-lanterns line pathways.

It’s also the perfect time to dust the cobwebs off your favourite book, curl up in your coffin, and settle in for a creepy read!

Use this resource in your classroom to create a Halloween display for pupils to summarise and rate the books they’ve read.

How to Create Your Halloween Display

The resources included in this download are:

👻’All Wrapped up in a Good Book’ display banner

🦇Book review templates (2 per page)

🕯️Decorative Halloween cutouts

🎃Jack-o’-lantern border

Print the book review templates and cut each page in half. Provide ½ sheet to pupils to complete their book review by filling in the following:

  • Name
  • Book title
  • Author
  • Rating (colour in the crescent moons)
  • Summary

Use the decorative elements to assemble a creative display to house your pupils’ book reviews!

Prepare This Resource for Your Classroom  

Please note that clicking the Download button will save only the banner element to your computer. Use the dropdown icon on the Download button to select either (or both) the classroom banner and/or the templates.

Print the decorative elements on card and as many pages of the border and embellishments as needed to surround your display.

Verify your banner’s print settings:

  1. Open the banner PDF file in Adobe Reader.
  2. In Adobe Reader, click on the printer icon to bring up the print settings box.
  3. In the print settings box, click on the ‘Poster’ tab.
  4. Adjust the ‘Tile Scale’ until you have the desired layout displayed in the preview section.
  5. To print in colour, be sure to uncheck the ‘Print in grayscale’ option on the print settings box.
  6. Once you’re happy with the preview layout, click ‘Print’!

Frame your classroom display with the banner and decorative pumpkin border. Collect pupils’ book review sheets and hang them within your display, accessorising the surrounding area with bats, pumpkins, candles, and all the decorative elements!

HAPPY READ-OWEEN!
