Halloween learning Activities for KinderGarten

For the entire month of October, I have been offering LOTS of Halloween ideas for you and the young children in your life. This post is perfect for kindergarten age children because I share a free nine page resource that you can just download and print. Check out Fun Halloween Food Ideas, Costume Ideas, and Print and Play Learning Games in my previous BLOG posts, if you want even MORE Halloween ideas.

Check out my book Scary Halloween Costumes for even more spooky season fun.

Scissor Skills
This activity is Halloween themed with fun pictures of Jack, the main character in the book Scary Halloween Costumes. In the book, Jack tries several costumes in an attempt to pick the perfect, scary, Halloween costume. This cutting practice worksheet is perfect for young children to exercise the small motor muscles that are used for holding a pencil and writing. 
You can find the book on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and on this website. 

Counting Spiders
Count the spiders in the jars then color in the correct number below. In the book Scary Halloween Costumes, Jack and Millie's house is decorated with a scarecrow, hay bales, pumpkins, and a HUMONGOUS spider web!  This themed worksheet helps your kindergarten students practice counting and number recognition. Connecting fun learning activities with books is one way to make learning fun all day long!
You can find the book Scary Halloween Costumes on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and on this website. 

Pumpkin Counting
Your kindergarten students will have fun coloring and decorating the pumpkins on this worksheet, then counting how many are in each row! This activity helps your students practice counting and writing numbers.  You can enhance this lesson to practice one to one correspondence by adding pumpkin erasers (or other counters) for your students to place on each of the pumpkins as they count. Pair this activity with book Scary Halloween Costumes for even more fun!

Alphabet Matching
Your kindergarten students will match uppercase to the matching lowercase letters when they complete this worksheet. Laminate the paper if you want to make this activity (or any of the others) re-useable for small groups or centers. 
If you want to get some older students involved in the matching fun, use this BLOG post to make this worksheet into an electronic game. The older students create the game and your kindergarten students can play it. 
​(Letters A-Z are included in this packet)

Decorate a Pumpkin
What would any Halloween themed activity packet be without a decorate your own pumpkin page? Use crayons, markers, paints, or pencils to decorate this pumpkin or try something new with cut paper and glue to make a collage pumpkin. Add googly eyes, chenille stems, pom-poms, or other craft materials to make this pumpkin really special. I love doing craft projects like this while I read a good book aloud to students.
