Brief Description of Activity:

Students will go to a website where they will participate in a coloring game.  Students will choose a Halloween coloring page of their choice and will color the page.  The website the students will go to is http://resources.kaboose.com/games/creepy-coloring.html.  Once they have successfully decorated a coloring page, they will then print off the page on the class color printer and then write their names on the coloring page.  They will then have their art work displayed on the class bulletin board where they can look at their work and other students work as well.
