Origins of Halloween Handout, Game and Poster Bundle

This bundle includes an information handout, activities, worksheets, a game and a poster. The information handout explores the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Roman festivals that influenced the Celts, the Christian All Saints’ Day and later traditions brought by Irish and Scottish immigrants to North America. The game is a fun Bobbing for Apples Quiz Game, where students have to “bob for apples” (pick a letter card) and spell the answer to a quiz question. This can be played by individual students in stations, or by teams in a class. The poster features a timeline that explores the origins of Halloween and how the traditions have changed over time. The size of the poster is 11 x 17 inches but it is a scalable vector so it could easily be printed bigger or smaller.
