It's almost Halloween time! When you think of Halloween, what do you think of? (Brainstorm with the students- ghosts, vampires, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns...)

Let's send the Ozobot on a Halloween adventure. What kind of Halloween adventure will Ozobot experience? A spooky scene? A Not-so-scary Halloween scene? A creepy crawly Halloween scene?

Have students work in partners or groups of three. Their first step is to brainstorm together and decide what the Ozobot will see on its Halloween adventure. Draw out their plans on a piece of paper and using a pencil.

Once your students have a plan, provide them with a larger piece of paper to bring their plan to life. ( a larger white construction paper or poster works well.)

Students should draw their Ozobot path line with pencil first and then trace it with the Ozobot marker. Once the markered line is complete, have the students test their Ozobot to make sure it moves smoothly along the line. Fix any lines that may need adjustments.

Once their map line is on, students will begin coloring the blank color codes on a separate sheet of paper. They will cut those codes out and use a glue stick to glue the codes onto their lines. (This step is very helpful for children who have fine motor difficulties or are young learners.)

Students will begin building and designing the "set" of their Halloween map. They could use any materials to decorate with (construction paper, foam paper, popsicle sticks, recycled goods...)

The final step is for the group to retest the Ozobot traveling through their Halloween map. Make sure the Ozobot can pass through all of the decorations without getting stuck. If the Ozobot can't pass by a decoration then the students will need to adjust their maps and retest.

Have the students present their Halloween adventure maps to their classmates.

BONUS- film the Ozobots traveling through their Halloween adventure maps and have the students edit and finalize the video. Place the video in their digital portfolios or share with their families.
