Fun Ways to Celebrate Halloween with Themed Literacy Activities

This Halloween post shares resources and book recommendations for a Skeleton Theme. It includes a printable unit planner.

It’s Halloween, and in this post, we’ll explore activities with a skeleton theme! The body doesn’t have to be scary, right? In facts, your students will likely be quite intrigued by what they learn. In this post, I’ll share ideas you can use for a more purposeful and educational Halloween.

Halloween Book Suggestions with a Skeleton Theme

This week, I thought I’d share some of the cute skeleton themed activities I came across. I am thinking this theme may be especially fun for Halloween day.

Of all the books I included, my favorite has to be Skeleton Hiccups by Margery Guyler. It really is a great book, and I found this great reading of it on Youtube. Just click on the book jacket to get to it.

While you’re reading/listening to it, you can have your students sequence the events on this story frame. I think a great writing prompt after it would be writing a story about how you’d help skeleton get rid of his hiccups.

Skelly the Skeleton Girl looks to be a cute book option to go with this theme. In the book, the character finds a mystery bone and tries to find it’s owner.
