CLASSROOM HALLOWEEN PARTY GAMES

No classroom Halloween party is complete without a few fun games! Put a Halloween spin on some of your favorite independent games, and you have a surefire way to maximize engagement.

Bingo is a tried and true game that kids of all ages enjoy. Itโ€™s a great way to review a multitude of skills, including the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, sight words, CVC words, rhyming, math facts, time, fractions and more. Create your own DIY game board, and have your students fill in the boxes.

This Spooky Words bingo game adds just enough magic for the kiddos to forget that they are learning. Make it more festive by using themed manipulatives (spiders, mini erasers, candy corn, etc.) to cover each space.

This Creepy Charades game would make a great brain break in between activities. Choose one student at a time to act out the card. Then, the class will try to guess the action. Once they have guessed correctly, the entire class can complete the motion.

Another option are these spider games. For the Spider Web Master game, the kiddos will roll a die and cover/remove 20 spiders. For the Spider Race game, they will roll a die and race to the number 20 on the spider web. Add some spider rings or mini erasers for a spooky holiday touch!

HALLOWEEN SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS

Science experiments are a crowd favorite! Talk about an instantly engaging classroom Halloween party idea!

For this Spooky Ghost experiment, just draw a ghost face on a white balloon. Pour a ยฝ cup of vinegar into an empty water bottle. Fill the balloon with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Place the end of the balloon around the top of the water bottle. Then, gently lift the balloon upright so that the baking soda falls into the vinegar. The reaction will produce carbon dioxide, which causes the balloon to inflate. Please be aware that too much pressure could cause the balloon to explode in a loud pop.

For the Flying Ghost experiment, blow up a white balloon and pinch the end closed with a binder clip. Draw a ghost face on the balloon. Secure a straw to the back of the balloon using tape. Thread a good 15 feet of string through the straw. Tie the ends of the string to two chairs. Slide the chairs apart so the string is taut. Remove the binder clip, and watch the ghost fly through the air!

Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.โ€

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
