Halloween ELAR Escape Room: Ghost Teacher

Escape room · Grades 5–8 · PDF & slides · $9.99 or included with All-Access

The setup: a Halloween curse has turned the teacher into a ghost, and students have to solve puzzles to collect the ingredients that break it. Kids move through stations and record answers in a response booklet.

Six core stations cover metaphor, haiku (kigo), a riddle, a short prose comprehension question, allusion, and simile. Six higher-level stations add point of view, idioms, synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, and subject-verb agreement, so you can run six or all twelve.

What's included

• Slide deck (.pptx) with story setup and 12 station puzzles
• Student response sheet
• Answer key for every station

How teachers use it

• Halloween week or the last day before fall break
• Run 6 stations for a short class, 12 for a block
• Review of literary devices and grammar basics
