Halloween Directed Drawing & Writing Unit

Drawing and writing are two crucial skills for our students, and there is no better way to combine them than through a fun, Halloween-themed activity! Halloween Directed Drawing & Writing Unit is a teaching resource that seamlessly blends art and language arts.

With zero preparation needed, this Halloween Directed Drawing & Writing Unit offers step-by-step drawing guidance for 12 festive Halloween images. These aren't just fun; they're crafted to boost our students' confidence in following instructions and enhancing their drawing capabilities. To meet the variety of handwriting skills of our students, there are differentiated worksheets included—whether it's primary lines, regular lines, or no lines, there's something to suit everyone.

To complement each drawing, there are two creative writing prompts, totaling 24 for the entire set. This combination helps our students not only draw but also articulate stories around their creations. To aid in structuring these tales, there are nine story planning pages, differentiated across three levels, along with extra writing pages to allow our young writers to let their imaginations flow.

All you need to do is print and dive into the activities.

For a snapshot of the Halloween images: From the spooky classics like Bats, Ghosts, and Haunted Houses to festive items such as Candy Baskets and Candles, and even fun costumes like the Devil and Frankenstein, the selection is diverse.

Tying it all together, this unit covers a plethora of subjects:

• Students will touch upon Art through drawing and coloring.

• Their Creative Writing skills will be honed.

• English Language Arts will be covered in-depth, including areas like Grammar, Reading, Spelling, and Writing.

Incorporate it into your Halloween or holiday study, use it for morning work, writing lessons, bellringers, or even those unpredictable days when you need emergency sub plans. Either way, let's spark joy and creativity in our classroom with this unique combination of art and writing. Happy teaching!
