Directions

• A spooktacular spider and its web are a great way to highlight reading and celebrate the season.
• Write a header on the display. We used “Get Caught in a Good Book!” but feel free to create your own unique heading.
• Create your large spider using instructions from Big Paper Spider DIY here.
• If you choose, cover the background of your display with paper. We used orange paper to give it a bright Halloween feel. Staple or tape trim to the outside edges of your display area. We layered two colors!
• Create a spider web out of black yarn and staple or tape it to the display.
• Research book recommendations for students or ask children what books they recommend.
• Write the book titles and author names on book accents and tape them to the web around the display.
• Need a new read? Invite children to use the display for ideas!
• What a fun way to introduce kids to new books and encourage reading.

• Create this spider and web display for any of these great displays:

  • “Caught” being good display: Recognize positive student behavior
  • Story web: Read a book together and display plot events and discussion points
  • Word web: Showcase new vocabulary words and their meanings
  • Caught up in learning: Feature names of all your students for a seasonal welcome
