Halloween Trivia Game

$6.00

It’s third period on Halloween, and your middle schoolers have already had way too much candy. They are restless and excited, and there’s no way the slope-intercept lesson you meticulously planned is going to cut it today. What to do? Pull out this Halloween Trivia Game!

(scroll down for details)

I know some will cringe at the thought of blowing off lessons just because it’s Halloween. But we were all kids once, too. Halloween at school was and should still be awesome! If we can’t kick back and have fun with our students on Halloween, then when can we?

IMPORTANT! You must open this game with an up-to-date version of PowerPoint. If you open in Keynote, Google Slides, or some other program, the dollar amounts will not disappear from the game board as they should.

Too wet or cold for trick-or-treating? You can use the Halloween Trivia Game at home, too!

Change the “dollar amounts” to number of pieces of candy. This is a great way to entertain your own children at a Halloween party or if the weather is too bad for trick-or-treating.

Recommended for: Grades 5-8

About the Halloween Trivia Game:

25 questions and answers (50 slides)

99% editable. Everything is editable except the art work on the game board (slide 4).

Every question and answer slide has a photo to go with it.

Don’t believe my answers to the questions? Want to check my sources to make sure they are accurate and come from valid sources? I’m a librarian and research EVERYTHING to the nth degree. But if you cannot sleep without knowing my source about the western explanation of el Chupacabra, I’ve included my sources and image credit in the notes section of the slides.

With the Halloween Trivia Game, your students will learn important facts about:

Books. The quiz includes questions about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dracula, Harry Potter, and Frankenstein.

Animals. Bats, spiders, and snakes, oh my!

Folklore. It’s a great way to introduce your students to their newest nightmares: the stories of el Chupacabra and la Llorona.

So many pumpkin facts! We all need more pumpkin facts in our lives.

They’ll also get practical advice!

The Halloween Trivia Game could save your students’ lives (or at least spare them some serious embarrassment) if they are ever:

bitten by a poisonous snake

inclined to carry silly string in Hollywood on Halloween

hungry for cotton candy while traveling in the UK or Australia

offered “Three-Course Meal” gum

hoping to distinguish themselves by trick-or-treating in yet another Princess costume

trying to grow pumpkins in Antarctica
