Halloween Reading Activity: Partner Play Scripts and Comprehension Worksheets

These five Halloween partner plays are intended to be used as fluency-building activities that 2nd and 3rd grade students can read with a partner. The scripts focus on Halloween activities. Kids love reading these fun seasonal scripts. These plays require minimal teacher support, thereby allowing teachers to work with other small groups. For teachers who implement reading centers, these plays are perfect. These scripts are also ideal for parents who are looking for fun at-home reading activities that parents and children can read together. If you have a child who is reluctant to read at home, I encourage you to give these scripts a try!

This partner play resource also includes a BONUS comprehension worksheet. After reading each script, students answer three or four comprehension questions that accompany that particular script.

This resource is available in multiple formats. Each teacher gets to choose the format that best meets his/her students' needs. You will choose between the printable partner plays and the paperless version that uses Google Slides. If you choose the printable option, you will have access to versions with color clip art and blackline clip art. Each script is exactly two pages, making it easy to print them back-to-back on a single page.

This set includes five independent scripts related to Halloween:

• Trick-or-What?
• The Mummy
• The Visit from the Vampire
• The Witch's Brew
• The Un-haunted House

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using these partner play scripts:

⭐️ Chloe C. said, "These are a small group favorite! I have made them part of my small group routine throughout the year! I love the different seasonal options, my students LOVE seeing the ones for the new month."

⭐️ Carissa S. said, "This was my first time using partner plays and I am now hooked! My students started reading with more fluency as they continued to read. This was also a HUGE help for expression while reading."

⭐️ Christine W. said, "My students always love Deb's partner reads. Each partner read typically has two characters which is perfect to keep kids engaged and not waiting too long until it is their time to read. The comprehension questions that come with the partner reads are wonderful, as well."

⭐️ Melissa S. said, "This is an engaging way to practice reading fluency. My special education students beg to do partner plays and readers' theater. I often have difficulty finding scripts for my small groups. I love that each script is written for just a few students and they are differentiated too! I will use this resource for years to come!"

⭐️ Jennifer K. said, "My 3rd grade students LOVED these partner plays! It was the perfect activity for my reluctant readers to practice fluency and expression. My higher students took it to the next level by thinking of different titles, and continuing the next few lines."
