Infographics are a visually appealing way to convey information clearly and concisely. For this activity, students will create their own infographic to display what they have learned about the holiday of Halloween! Teachers could have students focus on the history of Halloween, statistics that relate to the holiday such as: how many people celebrate, favorite costumes, favorite candy, etc. Students get a chance to hone their research skills while creating a fun and entertaining poster perfect for the holiday! For an alternative to engage the entire class, students can conduct polls on favorite candy, costumes, scary movies, and more and display what they discovered in an infographic!

Student Instructions:
Requirements: Create an infographic poster that includes 5-10 facts about Halloween with corresponding visuals.
Arrange infographic posters around your classroom or hallway so every student's work is visible. This gives students a chance to see their classmates' research and creativity on display!
Give each student a feedback form or sticky notes. Have them visit 3-5 posters and leave a compliment and one suggestion for improvement. This encourages positive peer interaction and reflection.
Invite students or groups to present their infographic and share their favorite Halloween fact. Presentations build confidence and reinforce research skills.
Host a fun awards event where students receive certificates for categories like 'Most Surprising Fact' or 'Best Visuals.' This motivates students and creates a memorable classroom experience.
Fun facts about Halloween for student infographics include its origins in ancient Celtic festivals, how over 175 million Americans celebrate yearly, top costumes like witches and superheroes, favorite candies such as Reese’s and Skittles, and traditions like pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating.
Start by having students research Halloween facts, use a graphic organizer for notes, select an infographic template, and add visuals and statistics. Encourage creativity with icons, characters, and a catchy title for their posters.
Great Halloween infographic topics include the history of Halloween, popular costumes over the years, favorite candies, participation statistics, and fun traditions like haunted houses or scary movies.
Students can gather data by researching online, using school library resources, or conducting class polls about favorite candies, costumes, or movies to include real statistics in their infographics.
Use visual infographics with icons, charts, and images, interactive polls, and collaborative group projects to make presenting Halloween facts fun and memorable for students of all ages.
