It's going to be Halloween in a few days, and here we have come up with a few Halloween themed activities to keep our kids busy while learning!
The free printable at the end of this post includes the following:
- Hanging Spiders
- Pumpkin Feelings
- Halloween Memory Game
- Finding Rhymes
- Pumpkin Face
Hanging Spiders
This fun activity involves:
- counting fun,
- fine motor skills of using the scissors, hole puncher and
- lacing!
C had fun counting the number of big and small spiders on the worksheet, and she also added them all up! Thereafter, she cut out the spiders and helped to punch out the holes where she could hang them through a pipe cleaner.

This activity kept C busy for a good half an hour, and it's always great to see her having fun! :)
Pumpkin Feelings
C is learning to recognize and read words, and this activity allows her to match the descriptive words to the correct feelings shown on the pumpkins' faces.
Halloween Memory Game
 |
| Print, laminate and cut to play this simple but fun memory game! |
1. Print, laminate and cut along the dotted lines.
2. Place picture cards facing up.
3. Memorize the positions of the cards.
4. Flip the cards and face them down.
5. Open two cards and try to find a match!
6. Try to match all the cards in the shortest time possible!

| C got a match! |
Finding Rhymes
Pumpkin Face!
This is an alternative to carving a face in a real pumpkin as most people do during Halloween. C used a pair of scissors to cut out the pumpkin, eyes, nose and mouth. She then used glue to stick them on!

| Ta da! A pumpkin with a face! :) |
