Halloween Centers!
Kids love getting into the Halloween spirit! I seriously think it might be their favorite holiday throughout the year. They start talking about their costumes in August!
Halloween in the classroom is a blast… but it is also exhausting! I have some fun ideas to combine Halloween fun with skills practice. Your kindergarten kids will love these easy prep activities during this spooky season.
In this math center, we offer differentiated choices in a fun way. Some students will be working on number recognition while others will be working on other number concepts like addition or subtraction. This is one of our favorite Halloween activities because they are racing toward the finish line which is the haunted house. You can use mini erasers as game pieces too if you wish.

or letters! Adding the dice is a great way to drive up engagement. The best part is students think of these fun activities as games, so they stay focused longer. That is sort of a miracle at this exciting time of the year.
