Literacy Snack Ghost Hunt Read-Aloud
I have another fun Halloween read-aloud this week for our literacy snack idea! This week, we are reading, We’re Going On A Ghost Hunt by Marcia Vaughan and pairing it with a simple, fun snack idea that your students will love! There’s nothing better than pairing a great book with a themed snack! It’s an easy way to spark excitement, encourage participation, and make reading truly memorable. Your students will love this Halloween read-aloud favorite!
We’re Going on a Ghost Hunt is a fun and slightly spooky twist on a classic favorite! Follow a group of brave little ghost hunters as they journey through creaky houses, dark forests, and shadowy paths, all in search of their very own ghost. Along the way, they’ll face a few spooky surprises, but their courage (and curiosity!) keeps them going. It’s a ghostly adventure your students will want to join again and again!
To go along with the book, our snack that we will be making this week is our very own ghosts!
Snack Idea
For each student you will need:
- Half of a banana
- 1 choclate chip
- 2 candy eyeballs
To make their little ghost, students will unpeel half of a banana, then gently press on two candy eyeballs and a chocolate chip for the mouth. It’s quick, easy, and absolutely adorable — the perfect simple snack for this week!
Free Printable
I’ve created a free printable to go along with the book, perfect for students to work on while enjoying their spooky ghost snack! They’ll get to practice their sequencing skills as they color, cut, and glue the pictures in the correct order of what the kids saw on their ghost hunt. It’s a fun, hands-on way to extend the story!
