Activity #1 
Make words with the letters in the word Halloween. Here is a PDF of a list of words you can make with the letters in Halloween and a PDF of Halloween word strips for easy cutting. Pair the students and give each pair of students a strip and have them cut the letters out. After completing the making words activity as a class, have students spell many of the words to one another and have them write a word list of their own to share with the class.
