Halloween Alphabet Activities

I have often said that if you can add a holiday twist to a learning activity, it makes it just that much more fun to learn. And when it comes to Halloween learning activities, there are so many easy options for making things a little more fun while learning the same material.

Take letter recognition, for example. Here are just a few options for Halloween alphabet activities your little ones are sure to love.

I started wanting to write about this because of the haunted house letter activity in this post from The Primary Parade (it’s under ghost activities, and if you click on the link it will take you to a signup form where you can get the download for free). This one involves an invisible ink pen, but once you have one I’m sure you’ll come up with lots of ways to use it.

Fantastic Fun and Learning has a cute pumpkin alphabet printable to be used for matching letters written on pumpkin seeds, which adds a fun sensory aspect (but also a little more prep). You could also use letter beads or even just pieces of paper with letters written on them.

Two Pink Peonies has a similar letter matching project using a pumpkin and dot stickers with the letters written on them. Again it’s a little bit of prep but kids do love stickers!

The spider find and cover activity from Fun Learning for Kids is a little like bingo. It includes cards with pictures of different objects and kids cover up the letter that begins the word. Or you could just write a letter on the board and have them find it. Use little erasers or pom poms to cover the letters.

If you want to get kids up and moving while they learn, try this witch themed alphabet hide and seek game from The Educator’s Spin on It. It’s meant to go with the book Room on the Broom but you can play it by itself, too. Just grab a cauldron and some letters (could be letter stickers, magnets, alphabet blocks, etc.) and hide them so kids can find them.
