I created this skeletal system resource after struggling to find something like this for my own class. You can use the unit around Halloween time to make your own cut and paste skeletons, or you can use it any time of year to teach about the skeletal system.
This really is one of my favorite fall activities!
Students see skeletons all the time, especially in October. But in my experience, they are always shocked to find out there is one inside of them!
Side note–If your standards require you to spend a lot of time covering the skeletal system in your class, you should grab your own mini skeleton around Halloween. I have seen them at Target, Walmart, and Michaels every year!

After you put the skeleton together, you can use it as an interactive skeletal system! You can label the major bones with the flashcards.

Teach your students even more about the bones located inside of them with the “What’s Inside Your…?” posters!
