As the day of All Hallows Eve draws nearer, there are plenty of Halloween activities that children can get involved in for a spooktastic time. Things such as pumpkin carving, trick or treating and apple-bobbing are some of the standard Halloween fares, but what about something that’s fun but also educational at the same time?
Sandeman Tutoring has 10 fun Halloween writing prompts that children can use to write some spine-tingling scary stories. In fact, it’s an activity that the whole family can take part in. So take a look at our Halloween writing prompts, dim the lights and hopefully, things don’t go bump in the night (for real)…
