Every kid's favorite class period is the period in which they are able to get their creative juices flowing. Whether it's a color by numbers or just an opportunity to try to stay inside the lines, I promise your students will love this super relaxing Halloween classroom activity!
Halloween Movie Day
There are so many amazing Halloween movies for kids. I even still watch some of the classics, like Monster House, Goosbumps, and (don't at me for this one, but) Scary Godmother! If you're looking for a more kid friendly alternative, any fantasy or Disney movie could work as well! Quest for Camelot, Thumbelina, Moana, you name it! They'll love a movie day the celebrate their favorite upcoming, candy-filled day off from school!
Halloween Piñata
What is Halloween about if not candy? And what activity is better for candy than hitting a piñata? Head on over to party city and grab a cute Frankenstein, Ghost, or Vampire piñata to fill up with your students' favorite candies. This is the absolute perfect addition to a Halloween classroom party before you let out for the Halloweekend! It'll be a party they'll never forget.
