·         Pass out the supplies to each student.

·         Next have the students recite back to you the names of the shapes to show that they were paying attention and learning the geometric shapes.
·         Now have the students cut out the Haunted House cutouts.
·         Next have the students select the Halloween colors from their pile of construction paper.
·         Tell the students to use a piece of black or purple construction paper for the background and a piece of the green construction paper to make the ground.
·         The piece of ground is optional.
·         Now the students should cut the green construction paper to create their ground and glue it on the bottom of the black construction paper.
·         Now the students should use the cutouts and trace the shapes on the construction paper they chose for their Haunted House’s colors.
·         Next the students should cut out the traced shapes.
·         Now have the students glue the pieces of the Haunted House together on the ground to make their picture.
·         Finally let the students decorate their picture with witches, ghosts, a moon, trees, and gravestones if they choose to.
·         The students can use the glitter on their moon to make it shine.
·         At the very end, go over the geometric shapes again to reinforce them for the students.
