What Is Included?

Easy Ways to Use These Halloween Activity Sheets
At home
Keep a few printed pages in a folder or basket for quiet time, rainy afternoons, breakfast activities, or the days leading up to Halloween. Let children choose which page they want to complete rather than assigning every sheet.
In the classroom
Use the maze, I Spy page, picture Sudoku, pattern puzzle, and coloring sheets as early-finisher activities or stations. Ask teachers to review any page before printing and adapt the activity for the children in the room.
For homeschool
Pair the pages with counting, vocabulary, storytelling, handwriting, visual discrimination, sequencing, or a short discussion about Halloween traditions. The CDC child-development guidance notes that playing, singing, reading, and talking with children support development and learning.
At a Halloween party
Set up a coloring table with crayons and washable markers. Add the garland page, costume planner, pumpkin-building page, or color hunt for children who want a break from active games. For food at the party, review the FDA Halloween safety guidance, especially when young children or food allergies are involved.
On trick-or-treat night
Print the trick-or-treat night page, memory page, or time capsule for children to complete after returning home. The FDA recommends checking collected treats at home before children eat them.
