- Bat, broom, cat, candy, costume ghost
- Frankenstein, haunted, jack-o-lantern, moon, mummy
- Pumpkin, spider, scarecrow, trick or treat, witch
In addition to the list of words for Halloween, a series of four worksheets are included that have students match images to terms and use different groups of words to write a story.

💀 Chilling Charades
Print a black and white set of the words for Halloween, fold them up and put them into a container. To play, divide your class or small group into two teams. Teams will take turns sending up one student to choose a word from the bowl and get 30 seconds to act out the word soundlessly for their team. If no one guesses the word, it returns to the bowl, and no point is given. Once every student has had their turn to act out a word, the game is over, and the group with the highest points wins.
