Be the first player to get around the neighborhood in an educational Trick or Treating board game. Earn chocolates along the way, but watch out for empty houses, and homes which give apples, bubble gum, and jaw breakers! The Trick or Treater with the most chocolate wins!!
Step One:
Create a game board, or use an existing game board like the Candy Land game board.
Have 3 or 4 so you can have small groups playing.
Have 25-100 spaces depending on the level of your students.
Step Two:
Color coordinate the game board and write objectives on each space, also depending on the level of your studetns.
Examples:
Grades 1-3--They know only simple things like colors so each color represents how many chocolates they would earn.
Grades 4-6--They understand simple sentences like Go back 3, move forward 2, You get 4 Chocolates.
Grades 7-8--Mr. George gives you a chocolate. Bad Luck, Only apples given here.
Grades 8 and up--I do not have these grades but more complex sentences would work too I assume.
How to Play.
Each group is given a Board, a Dice, and a Score Card.
One player rolls the dice and moves the amount shown. They read the space and do what it says.
If they earned a chocolate they mark it on the score sheet. Who ever has the most chocolate wins.
My students have enjoyed this, it was an excellent way to curb some of their anticipation of the up and coming break from school.

excellant! I have been doing a Halloween Mad-Lib that has been going over well but only in classes 5 and 6 and have been racking my brain for an idea for the older "too-cool-for-everything" 7 and 8 classes. This might do it! thanks! here's the Mad-Lib though (I explain it has a funny story)
first gather the words (either on the board and write one story or each individually for higher levels)
1) Color
2) weather (in adj. form)
3) adj. describinga person- I throw out lots of examples for this one, it's an easier way to explain what you are looking for.
4) Halloween person/ character
5) a different Halloween person/ character
6) another adj. to describe a person.
It was a _1_ and _2_ night.
A _3_ _4_ knocked on the door of an old house.
A _5_ opened the door.
The _4_ went inside and his _6_ face was never seen again.
After this I have them illustrate the story (one line/ frame a peice comic book style) and then we put them together and practise reading the story.
