October: Spooky, Fall & Halloween Digital Activities

Halloween Scene

ORANGE you happy that it’s fall? October really is a GOURD month for drawing with shapes. We’ve got four Shapegrams that are faBOOlous any time of year, especially in October.

Each Shapegram is packaged inside Google Slides and Google Drawings documents. The documents contains pictures to recreate, space to draw, tutorial videos, drawing tips, and a side activities. Teachers simply copy the Shapegram’s link and send it to students. Students click and make a copy. Everything a student needs is inside their copy of the document.

Since Shapegrams build upon the skills in previous Shapegrams, it’s a good idea to begin with the House Shapegram if your students are new to Google’s drawing tools. After drawing the simple house, students may need some practice by drawing the Face and Lion before attempting the Mansion. The Mansion Shapegram is the easiest of the four October-themed Lessons. Then the Spooky Things, Skeleton, and Spider Web each get a little more complicated as they introduce new shapes, tools, and techniques. Teachers might even provide students a choice of which Shapegram to draw based on their skill levels.

The Witch Icon Zipper can be paired with the Which Icon Zipper. There’s also a Witch’s Hat Zipper. Zippers are shorter digital art challenges and do not include video tutorials.

A $35 membership gets you access to all four of the October-themed Shapegrams. That’s a BONEafide deal! But it gets better. Membership gets you access to all Shapegrams. There are enough Shapegrams so that teachers can offer their students at least one Shapegram every week of the year!
