Define Halloween

Today we played a game called Define Halloween.  The students picked object and math words from a hat and then had to create sentences, poems, recipes and songs using all the object and the words.  For example (the tune of little bitty spider). “The little scary spider went up the skeletons spine, the average of the bones is depedent upon the time. He crawled to the base and the dinosaur ate his face, so the little scary spider fell off the x-axis.”
