5 Halloween Activities for School
It is getting close to our first big holiday for the school year! Do you need some Halloween activities for school? Every year I love decorating my room and putting out my Halloween books. I am always looking for new activities to use during this holiday.
Halloween Book Activity
The first activity I will be doing this Halloween is reading a great book. I discovered it last year. It is called Halloween Hustle by Charlotte Gunnufson. It is perfect to review those rhyming words and I made flashcards to go with the story. They can be used in a center or during your reading. I also have other activities to use with the book. There is a beginning, middle, and end flap book.
Halloween Math Activity
I like to teach odd and even numbers using marshmallows. The students form groups of two. If one is left over, they know they have an odd number. I have put little dots of food coloring on them to make it look like they have eyes. This is a fun, easy, and cheap idea to engage your students. It could be used for a Halloween activity for a classroom party.
Halloween Centers
It a great time to pull out those themed centers to practice reading and math skills. The centers make Halloween activities at school for learning fun. Some of the centers I use are ghostly odd and even numbers, spooky synonyms, beware of the missing number and scary abc order.
Spooky Subject and Predicate
Teaching subject and predicates and be very boring. A fun way to teach it is using my center scary predicates and subjects. Students can pick a Halloween subject and match it with a predicate. They are all based around Halloween. They can make silly sentences and draw pictures to go with them.
Scary Nouns
Another great Halloween activity for school is scary nouns. I used this for an observation one year. I had a plastic bucket filled with all kinds of nouns. My daughter had all kinds of toys at the time. I would have a student pick something and we would tell if it was a person, place, or thing. Then they completed this paper. This is available in my TPT store for free!
