Easy Halloween Activities for K-1
I love Halloween in the classroom! Students get so excited about all the spooky fun that we have during the month of October. I’ve got tons of easy and super low-prep Halloween math, reading, and science activities for you to use during this frightful month! Read below to grab some of these activities to do with your littles!
Riveting Read Alouds
Halloween read alouds are some of my favorites. I have a huge list of read alouds linked HERE for y’all, and these Halloween Read Aloud Graphic Organizers work with any Halloween story! Grab the Halloween Read Aloud Graphic Organizers HERE for only $1!
Pumpkin Party Writing Craftivity
Practice writing with this fun pumpkin party craftivity. It comes with options that can help support your beginning writers, and options with lines for your advanced writers to write as they please! Grab this Pumpkin Party Craftivity HERE.
Halloween Positive Behavior Notes
Sending home positive behavior notes is the easiest way to make positive connections between school and home! Print these cuties out on colored paper, write a child’s name at the top, sign your name at the bottom, and you’re good to go! Sometimes I tape a small little Starburst candy to the top corner just because I think my littles deserve a sweet treat. Grab these Positive Behavior Notes HERE or you can get the Yearly Bundle HERE.
Halloween Party Stations
Host the EASIEST classroom Halloween Party ever! Teachers don’t have time to prep and cut out alllllll the things, that’s why I made sure that each party station required minimal (or zero) prep. This set includes 8 stations for you to use (use them all, or use a few) with your students. Grab the Halloween Party Kit HERE.
Spooky Word Hunt Word Work
Create a Halloween tray filled with fun things (plastic spiders, pom poms, gushy eyeballs, etc.) from stores like Dollar Tree, Target, Walmart, and Michael’s. (I found the Halloween plastic eggs at Target and I hid my words in those. You don’t have to use eggs, but if you want to I found some HERE.) Then hide your words in the tray and let students dig to find them, and sort them in a word pattern sort! This pack has 8 different word skills for you to choose from, and it’s super easy to set up. Grab the Spooky Word Hunt HERE.
Halloween Math Around the Room
Year after year, the math scope and sequence order changes and that always throws off my holiday themed activities. With this pack, it doesn’t whether or not you’re teaching about number bonds or fractions during the month of October because it’s all included in this Math Around the Room activity! Just choose your skill (22 math concepts provided), cut your cards and hang them around the room, then allow students to hunt and record them! This makes a fabulous math center or fast finisher option because students are up and moving. Grab this pack HERE.
Pumpkin Science Week
Pumpkin Science is a MUST in Kindergarten or First Grade! Your littles will get so excited about their hands-on pumpkin explorations and observations. Learn about pumpkin parts, life cycles, height/weight, circumference, graphing, estimating, and lots more! This pack comes with lesson plans for your entire week of Pumpkin Science.
