FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “The Day After Halloween Creative Writing Activity”

by Tracee Orman
3rd - 10th Grade



Are your students still talking about Halloween? A little sluggish from candy overload? 

Try this fun activity that lets them talk a little more about one of their favorite holidays, yet allows them to practice great critical and creative thinking skills. 

You can use the writing prompt in conjunction with a literature or history unit. They'll have to tell about a character's or historical figure's night out trick-or-treating. It's fun and gets them writing. (And it's free!) 

This is great for a bell-ringer, exit-slip, or journal-writing activity; or have them write even more and tell an entire story. I included several different printables. To save paper, you can project it and have them use their own journals or notebooks.

Aligned with the following Common Core State Standards for College and Career Readiness:
WRITING:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.3, 
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.9, 
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.10, 
LANGUAGE:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.1, 
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.2, 
READING:
