History of Halloween | READING & WRITING | Grades 5-6 Middle School ESL No-Prep

Get ready for ‘spooktacular’ learning with this Activities Pack about the history of Halloween!

This comprehensive activities pack includes an engaging reading passage that delves into the origins of Halloween and its many different traditions, such as Trick-Or-Treating, carving pumpkins, wearing spooky costumes and more! Complementing the reading passage are different forms of assessment.

I recommend using this resource with Grades 5 & 6 students and even Secondary School students, as the text could easily be used in a special History lesson about Halloween. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students whose level of English is Upper Elementary (A2) or Intermediate level (B1-B2).
