Halloween Haunted House Writing and Playset

Craft a detailed haunted house with your kiddos then explore it with a variety of writing activities! They will persuade their reader to get a specific pet for the family, write biographies for the family's new social media profiles, let their imaginations run wild in a creative writing assignment about what is lurking in the shadows of the house's attic, and use a Venn diagram to compare a room in their home to one in the playset. This and much more is included in 35 rich pages! Download if you dare *mwahaha*

What's included:

• Haunted house (print pages and make into the form of a purse-sized book that opens for play; some rooms have two color options)
• Spooky family (cut, fold, tape)
• Scale furniture (cut, fold, tape into 3D items that flatten for storage; some items have multiple color options)
• House labels (labels to glue into the house to help ELL kiddos with vocabulary; 2 per page)
• Scavenger hunt (find items in the haunted house and notate where they are located; 4 variants, 2 per page)
