Halloween Roll a Story: Where Imagination Meets Mayhem
Say goodbye to the same old writing prompts! Halloween Roll a Story takes creativity to wild new places your students have never gone before. Designed for junior and intermediate classes, this resource isn’t just another worksheet—it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. From cursed theme parks to mummies at the school dance, your students will craft their own crazy, spooky stories that could only come from rolling the dice.
Each roll serves up a unique character, setting, and problem. Whether your students are conjuring up skits, writing epic tales, or turning classroom corners into mini-theatres with tableaus, this activity is guaranteed to spark excitement and keep them engaged. And yes, it aligns with Ontario curriculum standards—because you deserve a win-win this Halloween.
 
What’s Inside:
18 laugh-out-loud prompts across three categories (Character, Setting, Problem)—no two stories are the same!
Diverse formats: Easy-to-print PDF and digital versions to suit any classroom setup. (Printer-friendly, of course. We know your ink budget is precious!)
Color and black-and-white options: Give them the freedom to imagine in full-color glory or stick to classic black and white.
Versatility: From hilarious skits and quick tableaus to longer, imaginative writing pieces, this resource is ready for however you want to use it.
 
Why You’ll Love It:
Next-Level Creativity: Let’s be real, not every resource has students putting ghosts in detention or battling zombies at a haunted carnival. These prompts are fun, edgy, and perfect for getting even your most reluctant students engaged.
Multi-Purpose Fun: Need a quick drama activity? Done. Want students to write a spooky masterpiece? Absolutely. Looking for a team-building, laugh-inducing, classroom-bonding experience? Look no further.
Keep ‘Em on Their Toes: No two stories are the same, which means each roll of the dice brings fresh surprises—and with it, more excitement for learning.
Stress-Free, Low Prep: Pop this on the smartboard, hit print, or let them roll the digital dice, and you’re set. Meanwhile, you can sit back and enjoy watching your students’ imaginations go wild.
Curriculum Check: Ontario teachers, this isn’t just for fun—your literacy and drama standards are being hit right alongside those epic Halloween tales. (No guilt necessary.)
