Trick or Treat Halloween Game Board (Numbered squares)
This game board has numbered squares for players to answer corresponding question numbers when they land on it. If a player lands on a number they have already visited, they must skip a turn.
If you want your students to feel that they get to do only a selected few questions, this is the perfect game board for you.
Plus, if you want students to do the questions independently, different from each other, this game play also suits you.
The fun part of the board game is the pumpkin basket as they get to roll the die again when they land on it.
If the result is odd, the player needs to move backward by the number of spaces indicated on the die.
If it is even, they need to move forward by the number of spaces indicated on the die.
This adds a measure of uncertainty to the game.
There was once when I was playing with my student that even though I was winning at first, my students caught up with me in the end and won the game!
Trick or Treat Halloween Game Board (Non-Numbered squares)
Students can do the same questions in sequence. Those who get it right get to roll the die.
The instant gratification helps students to be more careful when answering the questions.
I like to use this game board cause I like my students to do the questions in sequence and all of the 30 questions.
If students get to play 1 round without doing all 30 questions, they can play another round with the same or a different game board till they finish all 30 questions.
Monster Game Board
Here’s how to play this great board game:
Players will roll the die and get to color or place counters the space they land to occupy it. The winner is the one who occupies the most number of spaces.
Students who land on the Monster will miss a turn.
If students land on a space already occupied, they get to do nothing.
Similarly, all players do the same question in sequential manner.
Players who get the correct answer will get to roll the die.
This game play requires some strategizing as students get to choose the direction they get to move. However, they can only move forward.
But…you can change that rule and allow them to move all four directions.
OTHER WAYS TO USE THIS RESOURCE
Trick Or Treat
Students can play “Truth or Dare” or ”Trick or Treat” when they land on the basket or monster.
Prepare a basket of papers with punishment or treats. For example, sing a song, jump 10 times or say a joke.
Or these cards might require players to perform Halloween-themed tasks, like reciting a spooky poem, acting out a ghostly scene, or answering a riddle related to Halloween lore.
Monster Bump Board Game
If you are using counters, players can replace other players’ occupied spaces with theirs.
And, if they land on their own space, they can add one more counter on top of their counter to “strengthen” their fortress.
Play scavenger hunt
Cut out the question number with the QR code from the question.
Then, mix up the questions and place them on the board or table.
Next, hide the QR code with the question number papers at different locations around the classroom.
Students need to solve the questions. Use the non-numbered recording sheet for this.
Then, students will find the answer with the corresponding question number. If they find it, they can take it and place it beside the question to match them.
Halloween Trivia Challenge
Transform the fun board game into a trivia challenge platform. Create a separate deck of trivia cards with Halloween-related questions and facts.
In this mode, players draw trivia cards and take turns asking each other questions.
Correct answers earn them the opportunity to move their game pieces. The first player to reach the finish line wins.
Storytelling Adventure
Turn the game into a storytelling adventure by incorporating creative writing elements.
When players land on certain spaces, they must contribute a sentence or paragraph to a collaborative Halloween-themed story.
The story can take unexpected twists and turns based on the players’ creativity. The player with the most engaging story at the end of the game wins.
