Fear Factor Room Transformation Kit

Create one of the most exciting days of the year with this Fear Factor Room Transformation Kit! Use it during October to add a little Halloween flair, or incorporate it at any other time of the year to increase engagement.

Philosophy behind Fear Factor in the classroom:

• Holidays are always filled with so much excitement and energy that it’s hard to keep students focused on learning. However, over the past few years, I’ve learned that embracing the holidays, and sometimes going a little above and beyond to engage my students, gives me the best results in terms of learning.
• Fear Factor does take some time to plan, organize and set up, but your efforts will more than pay off. Your students will learn more and work harder than you’ve ever seen. In my experience, my students are so engaged and well-behaved, that Fear Factor becomes one of our favorite days of the year. I hope this kit helps you find similar results with your kids!

This kit has three main pieces to help you create a Fear Factor experience for your kids:

• boxes filled with challenges
• “treats” for your students
• Minute to Win It games.

You can choose to incorporate all three or any combo of the three.

Included in this kit:

• Fear Factor signs for your classroom
• Team signs
• "Treat" tags
• Easy-to-make treat suggestions and recipes
• Editable challenge task cards
• Minute to Win It activities
• Eyeball Round Up, behavior management card for students
• 10 pages of pictures, directions, examples, etc. to help you transform your room
• Tips to help you save time and money

This kit does not contain any content. I intentionally left the challenge task cards blank because I wanted Fear Factor to be meaningful for teachers of all grade levels and subjects. You can create themed challenges for your students, or continue the work you’re currently doing in class. Either way, Fear Factor will help elevate the level of effort and engagement you get out of your students.

In my classroom, I used a mixture of October-themed challenges and challenges from our curriculum. To save time, I typed directions on the Fear Factor task cards included in this kit and used assignments I already had.

This step-by-step guide will show you how I created one of the BEST teaching days of my life with minimal time and money.
