Halloween Badges

Halloween Badges
There are 4 sheets of 6 badges- 2 in color and 2 in black and white. Print the black and white sheets on white paper to save ink and have your students color them.  You can also print the black and white sheets on orange paper.  The badges can be printed in color, too. They can be worn as badges or used as rewards, glued or stapled onto corrected assignments and homework, left on or inside desks as surprises, and used as gift tags, notes or pencil toppers.
Happy Halloween! 

Enter if you Dare! Poster

I LOVE Halloween! Can you tell?  I just made this door sign this morning.

The "Enter if you Dare" poster is 11” x 17”. Print it on cardstock (a thicker paper), if possible, and laminate it for years of use. Most office supply stores will print this size poster for $1 or less. Then post it on your classroom, house (or office) door during the month of October. Happy Halloween!
