 Check out the PREVIEW!

Make teaching communicable and non-communicable diseases fun, spooky, and memorable with this Halloween-themed ghost activity! Students will cut, paste, and sort diseases onto “Communicable Ghosts” and “Non-Communicable Ghosts,” then apply their learning to solve monster-inspired case scenarios.

What’s Included:

• 20 Spooky Disease Scenarios (10 Communicable + 10 Non-Communicable)
• Word Bank of Diseases (10 communicable, 10 non-communicable)
• Ghost Cut-and-Paste Sorting Activity
• Student Worksheet (diagnosis, definition, transmission/cause, prevention/management)
• Teacher Answer Key
• Teacher Instructions + Student Directions

How It Works:

1. Students cut and paste diseases onto ghost templates (communicable or non-communicable).
2. Students read monster-themed disease scenarios and match them to the correct diagnosis.
3. Students define each disease, identify how it spreads or what causes it, and explain how to prevent or manage it.
4. Review with the class using the included answer key.
