1. What is Halloween?

Halloween’s coming, and it’s time to get spooky. On October 31st, Americans believe ghosts and spirits come out to play. Sounds scary, right? That’s why we dress up in costumes – to scare those spirits right back!

Kids roam the streets. They knock on doors, yell “Trick or treat!”, and collect bags full of candy. It’s like a neighborhood-wide costume party with sweet rewards.

Now, let’s get creative. If you could join this wacky tradition, what would you be? A vampire with a sweet tooth? A superhero on a sugar rush? Let your imagination loose.

2. Halloween Bingo

Get ready for a spooktacular game of Halloween Bingo! Print out our Bingo sheet and scatter those creepy Halloween words anywhere you like. Witches, pumpkins, zombies. Mix ’em up!

Now, listen up. The teacher reads out words. When you hear a word on your sheet, cross it off. The first one to get a line of crossed-off words? Shout “BINGO!”

This activity puts Halloween vocab in your head. So, are you ready to turn vocabulary practice into a thrilling game of chance? Try out Halloween Bingo.

3. Halloween Word Search Puzzle

This grid is filled with letters. Halloween words are in there. They might be lurking up, down, sideways, or even diagonally.

While you’re having a blast circling “pumpkin” and “zombie,” you’re actually giving your brain a workout.

Plus, you’re sharpening your eyes, boosting your spelling skills, and cementing that spooky vocab in your mind.

4. Halloween Emotions

Let’s play Pumpkin Emotion Matchup. In this Halloween activity, we have jack-o’-lanterns with different faces – happy, scared, surprised.

Your job? Connect Halloween words to the right pumpkin face. I’ll be honest. It’s a bit too simple. One is already done for you so there are only four left.

But it’s also a fun way to learn Halloween words and talk about feelings. Ready to match emotions with our pumpkin pals?

5. Halloween Maze

It’s time for a spooky maze challenge. You’re at the top of a twisty, turny path. Your mission is to escape the maze without bumping into any creepy jack-o’-lanterns.
