Fall Lesson Ideas: Halloween Joke Book

I'm not sure the weatherman in my neck of the woods know it is fall based upon the continuing warm weather. But, regardless, I'm looking forward to fall holidays. Halloween will be here before we know it.  I always do a class Halloween Howl Joke book.  

Kids always get the most fun out of riddles and jokes, so I make a lesson out of it.

Students are assigned a joke to present and then illustrate for our class book.

Here is a finished sample:

Trick or Treat Mats

After reading this I hope you never look at a doormat the same way!  Can you believe that thanks to Dollar Tree I've made learning game doormats! They are portable, sturdy, don't need laminating or cutting and BEST of all are cute. All I did was write various language or math concepts on each candy corn with a sharpie. Take a peek of a few I've made. I also have sets for antonyms, synonyms, compound words, place value,  and rounding. Grab a few mats and make some yourself!

I've made recording sheets to go with each mat  and posted a couple for you.

Halloween Games for the Classroom

These games are spooktacular fun for Halloween.

First off, it's Spooky Spin a la Twister style.

I got this game at Target a few years ago.

Next, it's Pumpkins on a Fence Toss

Then, I took an old favorite: Toss Across and added leaves and pumpkins for a beanbag toss.

Get 3 in a row!

Let's end with some pumpkin bowling.

My class also LOVED sharing Halloween Jokes. I gave each one joke

to present to the class and they tried to guess the punchline. Afterwards each joke

was copied and illustrated to make a class joke book. 

You can get this at my TPT store.

This joke activity also comes in a money saving bundle with Halloween themed book report writing.

Pick of the Patch Bucket Fillers

Calling all Bucket Fillers. Add a little fall spirit to your bucket filling notes with my "Pick of the Patch" notes. I find when I switch my notes up it keeps the bucket filling interest going and going.

Be sure to check back & follow me, because I'll post more themed bucket filler notes for other holidays.

I recently started a Facebook Group for teachers to share ideas, questions, and inspiration.

Jokes for Halloween: Halloween Howls

Ha Ha...It's time for some Halloween Howls!

It never fails that every year, my students think our Halloween Howl Joke Book is the greatest      TREAT ever! I assign each student an appropriate kid joke to practice presenting to the class.

 I've included links to sites where I pick and choose the jokes I like best for my class.

Each joke is then written on the page below and illustrated.

If your class is like mine, this book will be hard to keep on the shelf because someone will always be reading it!
