## 🎃 STEP 1: Fill in the Grid with Halloween Nouns and Adjectives
We need to fill in 5 rows (including the example) with
adjectives that describe
nouns related to Halloween.
Here’s a completed grid:
| Adjectives | Nouns |
|------------------|---------------|
| frightening | monster |
| spooky | ghost |
| creepy | spider |
| eerie | graveyard |
| wicked | witch |
✔ *Why these words?*
- “Spooky” fits “ghost” — ghosts are often described as spooky.
- “Creepy” goes well with “spider” — spiders can be creepy crawlers.
- “Eerie” describes a “graveyard” — it’s dark, quiet, and mysterious.
- “Wicked” suits a “witch” — witches are often portrayed as wicked or mischievous.

## 👻 STEP 2: Think of Five Scary Verbs and Adverbs
Now, fill in 5 rows (including the example) with
verbs and matching
adverbs that describe how those actions happen.
Completed grid:
| Verbs | Adverbs |
|----------------|---------------|
| screamed | loudly |
| cackled | wickedly |
| floated | silently |
| crept | slowly |
| howled | mournfully |
✔ *Why these pairs?*
- A witch might “cackle wickedly.”
- A ghost might “float silently” through the night.
- A monster might “creep slowly” toward you.
- A wolf or ghost might “howl mournfully” under the moon.

🎃 HALLOWEEN NIGHT 🎃
*(A Spooky Poem)*
In the
frightening dark, a
monster stood tall,
While a
spooky ghost began to
float silently down the hall.
A
wicked witch on her broomstick did
cackle wickedly,
As a
creepy spider crawled up the wall, so quietly.
The wind made the trees
howl mournfully in the night,
And from the
eerie graveyard, came a
scream — oh, so
loudly!
Then a shadowy figure
crept slowly near,
With eyes glowing red — now I’m filled with fear!

## 💡 Tips for Writing Your Own Poem:
- Use
rhyme (like “tall/hall”, “near/fear”) to make it fun and musical.
- Use
action words (verbs + adverbs) to create movement and suspense.
- Include
sensory details — what you see, hear, feel.
- Keep lines short and rhythmic for a spooky effect.
