Have you seen these awesome Roll to Create Games? Although the concept is a simple one, the fun level is extreme!
These printable Halloween worksheets allow students a chance to exercise their skills in drawing, colouring, creative writing and even a little bit of maths.

We have a printable blank template available for you in our Roll to Create Games resource collection, but we also know how awesome it is to be able to get your hands on a ready-to-go, downloadable teaching resources, so that you can simply print, photocopy and go!
