Hallowe’en Creatures Bookmarks
This is a handy, bookmark-sized, resource for pupils who are doing some literacy work on the theme of Hallowe’en in the classroom. It gives a list of Hallowe’en creatures, which is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and could be used for oral language or written work, especially creative writing.
There are two bookmarks per page. If you find that the bookmarks are too large, set your printer preferences to print two to a page. These could be laminated and kept from year to year.
