Halloween Art Lesson Ghost Writing Prompts Art Project Lesson Plan Sub Plan

This Halloween Ghost Art and Write resource pairs a step-by-step ghost art tutorial with differentiated writing prompts for elementary students. Students create their own spooky ghost artwork, then write about it.

The writing pages cover fiction, non-fiction and opinion writing, with primary and intermediate versions so you can match the writing to your learners. The art style follows the Ms Artastic YouTube Channel, and the teacher guide helps you run the art and writing parts in the classroom or remotely.

WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

Students practice art skills like shading, shape and texture as they create their ghost, and build writing skills as they tell stories, share information and give opinions. The opinion prompts also help them form and explain their reasoning.

It fits fall or Halloween lesson plans, homeschool, and substitute plans, since the teacher guide and step-by-step tutorial keep prep low.
