Halloween Special hands-on video lessons for kids

Hands-On Video Lessons: Halloween Special

Get ready for an extra special edition of Ozobot’s Learn Anywhere lesson series for Halloween! We designed the lessons below to bring the best out of the spookiest season, while at the same making subjects like coding, CS, math, and ELA a whole lot less scary. The Trick or Treat lesson is a Learn Anywhere lesson, designed to be completely flexible for remote or in-person learning. Each lesson comes with step-by-step video instruction and is designed to be self-guided and self-paced as needed. 

Note: need bots for all your students to take full advantage of these Learn Anywhere lessons? Request a demo today to learn more about our 1:1 program–you might be surprised by the federal and state initiatives it qualifies for!

Want to see the lessons in action? Ozobot lesson creators, Melissa and Natalie, and Ozobot Certified Educator, Lisa Richardson, walked us through each of them in our Learn Anywhere Lessons webinar!

Across much of the US kids won’t be participating in traditional trick-or-treating this year, so why not have a little fun and recreate the annual activity with your Ozobots–complete with tiny costumes and candy for collecting? This lesson integrates Color Codes with Common Core State Standards to make math operations just a little bit less scary for grades 2-8.
