Now that the heat has finally subsided and we’re moving into the sweater season a lot of holidays are just around the corner. When I was working at elementary schools I remember the students being excited for Halloween. 

So fitting in with the October theme, I thought I could focus this month’s post on Halloween related lessons. 

A quick reminder: This works best for younger students *mainly for younger elementary school students*

As a way to get kids interested in Halloween and to also learn more about the holiday one fun activity I do with the 3/4 grades is creating monsters. I usually go over the basic classic Halloween monsters from ghosts to witches and so on. Get the students to become familiar with the English. 

Next all you need is some plastic cups and colorful construction paper. The students will most likely have glue, markers and scissors. Give the students some time to create their own Halloween monster. 

Finally, have the students *who want to* present their creation to the class. Some provided English sentences should be given. Ie: His/her name is_______ . They are a _________.
