🦇 We’re Batty for a Good BOO-k! 📙
It’s almost Halloween, that spooky season when black cats prowl dark corners and eerie jack-o’-lanterns line pathways.
It’s also the perfect time to dust the cobwebs off your favourite book, curl up in your coffin, and settle in for a creepy read!
Use this resource in your classroom to create a Halloween bulletin board for students to summarise and rate the books they’ve read.
How to Create Your Halloween Bulletin Board
The resources included in this download are:
👻’All Wrapped up in a Good Book’ display banner
🦇Book review templates (2 per page)
🕯️Decorative Halloween cutouts
🎃Jack-o’-lantern border
Print the book review templates and cut each page in half. Provide ½ sheet to students to complete their book review by filling in the following:
- Name
- Book title
- Author
- Rating (color in the crescent moons)
- Summary
To help younger students, fill out the sheet for them or provide it as homework to complete with their caregiver. Young students can dictate their answers and have a grown-up write for them.
Use the decorative elements to assemble a creative bulletin board display of your students’ book reviews!
