- Candy Corn Preposition Fun
Print out a pumpkin or Halloween Jack-o-lantern picture. Then give your students instructions on where to place the candy corn. For example, “Place one candy corn above the eye.” or “Place two candy corns next to the spider.” Have the students complete the activity as a group and help each other. Bonus: At the end, the students get to eat their candy corns! - Halloween Pictionary
Items needed: Dry Erase Board, Dry Erase Markers, Word List, and Trick or Treat Basket
I print off a word list of 24 common Halloween words. Then I cut the paper into strips, fold them, and put them into the Trick or Treat Basket. One student pulls out a strip of paper, reads it, and then draws a picture of the item on the Dry Erase Board. Then the other student tries to guess the word. - Spooky Halloween Story Starters
Who doesn’t love a good Halloween story? Have your students take turns with creating their own Spooky Halloween stories by using these story starters. Students read the opening sentence and then add their own ideas to the story. Students may take turns by each adding their own sentence or each student creates one story. Encourage written expression by having your students write their own story.

Help teach your students about similes with a fun Halloween twist. Similes compare two things using the words “like” and “as.” This worksheet has a list of Halloween words and adjectives to use for students to get started. When finished, they can draw a picture of their favorite simile and then share it with the group. Encourage written expression and boost comprehension at the same time. - Origin of Halloween Article
Do your students ever wonder how Halloween started? Read a brief story with your students entitled “Where Does Halloween Come From?” This article explains the origins of Halloween. After reading the story together, have your students answer the questions on the short quiz. It includes 4 multiple choice and 1 short answer. Answer key is included.
