Trick-or-Teach 2024 Wrap Up

Printed version of the trick-or-teach calendar with a haunted castle with numbered doors and windows revealing treats.

On October 31, 2024, the Hub concluded its second annual Trick-or-Teach event, and we’d like to thank everyone who joined in! Whether you contributed a resource, checked for daily tricks and treats, or snagged a treat in the Hub, your participation was spook-tacularly appreciated. 👻

Below, you’ll find the complete H5P Calendar and a list of all countdown resources.

The Trick-or-Teach calendar was available in two formats: a digital version on the Hub website and a printed version in the Hub space, packed with Halloween treats. Each weekday from October 15–31, we shared a unique teaching resource (“treat”) or a Halloween-themed video, song, or joke (“trick”).
