Good to know
Halloween is celebrated very differently around the world, and not every family celebrates it. Many of these pages, such as pumpkins, owls and the moon, also work as general autumn activities, so the whole class can join in.
Halloween is also an easy way into creative writing: a costume, a dark night and a full moon are enough to start a short story. Keep the tone fun rather than frightening for younger children.
How to use these
- Pick the easy word search for ages 6–7 and the bigger grid for older children.
- Print bingo in advance and use pumpkin seeds or buttons as markers.
- Keep it friendly for little ones: owls, pumpkins and moons rather than scary pictures.
