Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a warm-up or 20-minute station before a vocabulary lesson, then move directly into the definition activity so students connect the words they found to their meanings.
- Discussion question: Which of these words describe a feeling, and which describe a place or object? How can context clues help you tell the difference between 'eerie' and 'ominous'?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a highlighted word bank with a brief picture or synonym beside each word, and allow them to work with a partner.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to use three words from the list in a short original spooky paragraph, or to sort the words by part of speech or connotation.
- Estimated time: 15-20 minutes for the search itself, plus discussion time as needed.
