Elementary Halloween games for the classroom can be used for a Halloween class party or simply a treat for your class now and then, in the lead up to Halloween.

There are many different games that can be played at school and the good news is that many of these games are also educational.

On the next slides we will describe few suggestions for different types of Halloween games for school that are suitable for the classroom.

If you are looking for Elementary Halloween games that can be used to reward your class for working well during the lead up to Halloween, you might like to try a Halloween word game.

Instead of the regular Hangman spelling game, you can play this game with Halloween words and call it Halloween Hangman.

Use words like ghost, witch, mummies, vampire, ghouls etc.

Another version that you might like to try is the Halloween Hangman Sentence game.

For this version instead of using a single word, you can use a spooky Halloween sentence. Make up a sentence about ghosts or something ghoulish and draw the dashes for all of the letters in the sentence. Then just play like the regular game of Hangman filling in the letters as you go.

There are also elementary Halloween games that can be used to practice math skills. You can use the tradition counting game Buzz and give it a Halloween theme by changing the word Buzz to Boo or a different Halloween word. The game is played with the children counting around a circle but no one is allowed to say a number that contains the word seven or a multiple of seven. These numbers are replaced with the word Boo. So instead of saying, seven, seventeen, or fourteen the word Boo is said in its place. A child is out if they make a mistake.

If you are looking for

more active

elementary

Halloween games,

you might like to try a

game of Wild Card.

You will need to

designate the four

corners of the room

to four different

Halloween characters

such as vampires,

goblins, ghosts and

mummies. Also write

these four characters

on four separate

cards with one on

each card.

The children then dance around the

room to Halloween themed music

such as Monster Mash.

When the music stops they choose a

corner of the room to go to.

The teacher then draws out one of

the four cards, without looking them

and holds it up for all to see. The

children in this area are all eliminated

and have to sit out until the next

round is played. This is repeated until

only one child remains. This is the

winner who can then be given a

prize or the privilege of choosing the

cards in the next round.
