Quick and Easy Games for Halloween Centers
 |
| A late night shopping trip at the local Drug Mart....these are just vinyl placemats and round stickers. For this one the kids start at "GO", roll the dice, move their teddy bear or unifix cube and say the letter they land on. My kids LOVED this..they called it the "Skeleton Dancing Game". |
 |
| This game we called the "Haunted House" game, same concept as above but the kids had to say the number they landed on. |
 |
| My husband made a trip to Halloween City...you know one of those pop up stores in a strip mall ...and I told him to bring me back something I can use in my classroom like mini mice or roaches or erasers. He came back with this...I love it! I will put it in a math center of some kind! |

Literacy/Math Stations
 |
| The kids had to pick a monster from the stew pot and write the letter on the recording sheet. |
 |
| These are foam beads from Oriental Trading. I had the kids sort them on the sorting mat below and then illustrate. The shapes were pretty simple so it was easy for recording. |
 |
| Marshmallow Math Fun with BooMallows. |
 |
| The kids "picked" pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and found the letter on the corresponding sheet and used a bingo dabber to find the letter. |
 |
| The Pumpkin Patch! |
 |
| This recording sheet goes with the game below. Good for handwriting practice. |
 |
| Simple 3 or 4 letter word writing. I used the document camera and modeled this with the class. |

 |
| Pick a domino, count the dots, find the number on the Dazzling Dominoes sheet and draw the domino. |
 |
| Going Nuts game. Pick an acorn from the pot, write the letter on the sheet. The kids insisted my squirrel puppet be in the pot with the acorns. |
 |
| Counting leaves, writing numbers on the line. |
 |
| Stamping beginning sounds and coloring the picture. The kids did GREAT with this. |
 |
| Foam Leaf sorting. |
