Five Halloween Themed Activities for the Classroom

Halloween is only a couple weeks away!  If you throw a Halloween party in your classroom, you may be looking for some fun activities to add to your day!

I found 5 fun Halloween activities that would be perfect for the classroom.  They all are educational and FUN!
1. Fine Motor Web
Put some fall or Halloween objects on a table.  Then, make a spider web out of tape.  Your kiddos will use tweezers to pick up the objects and place them in their cup!

2.  Gross Motor Web
Make a spider web on the floor using painters tape.  Then, place plastic spiders around the web.  Your kiddos will walk on the web lines collecting the spider.  Once they get through the web you can have a prize waiting for them or they can turn around and walk back to the start.

3.  Life Size Pumpkin Memory
Your kiddos will love this big game of memory!  Create pumpkins out of paper plates with different faces (2 of each face).  This could be done with the class or on your own.  Then, flip over each plate and play it like memory by trying to find the matching faces.

4.  Find the Letter-Hole Punch
This would be a great game to do if you pull small groups that day!  Simply, write the letters A-Z around a pumpkin cut out and call out letters.  Your kiddos will hole punch the letter you call.  Make it more challenging by calling out letter sounds or "what does apple start with?".

5. Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe
Create a tic tac toe board game using tape on the floor.  Then, use 2 different colored pumpkins to play tic tac toe on your floor board!

Pumpkin Shape Trace~FREEBIE

I have fun pumpkin themed math center for you today!
I bought these shape cards from Target!  If you don't have these cards, that is ok!  You can use any shape cards or shape dice to use with this worksheet!

I put my worksheets in a page protector to save on the copies!

I had my kiddos grab a shape card and then trace that shape.

They LOVED it especially tracing the star and heart :)

Goblins, Ghosts, GOOGLEY EYED PUMPKINS

The day has finally come, I jumped on the bandwagon and started a blog! Never in a million years did I think I could even do it, but with the inspiration of a fellow teacher, here I am! I am still trying to figure out everything, but I just couldn't wait to write my first post.

Alright, let’s just get right to it. Halloween is seriously right around the corner, so my kinders are busy bees working on anything pumpkin! Our latest activity was the cutest googley eyed jack o’ lanterns. We started our activity with a problem…Mrs. K only had yellow and red paint! My kiddos figured out that problem real quick, MIX THEM! Once we made our orange paint it was time to paint our pumpkins. Each student was given a pumpkin cutout, which can be found here. They painted them and we let them dry. Once they were dry I gave each student a piece of white paper to draw two circles on. These we would use for the eyes. They cut them out and made black circles in the middle for the googley part of their eyes. After they were glued on, they used a marker to make a silly smile and a cute little nose! They turned out adorable! We hung them in the hall to create our very own Kindergarten Jack o’ Lantern patch!
