19 Fun Things to Do In Class During Halloween

Halloween is one of the holidays everyone is super buzzed about. From children to adults, everyone is looking forward to freakiness, dressing up, horror tales, and the smell of pumpkin.

People have their classic horror costumes, horror films, and horror-inspired food that they have to enjoy the day to the fullest. And if your school is still on, who said you have to wait to go home to celebrate Halloween. Take a pick from our fun and spooktacular list of activities that you can do in your class with your peers during Halloween!

1. Watch a Horror Film

Horror movies are always a treat to watch unless you have a faint heart. But what better way to truly indulge in the Halloween spirit (pun intended) than to watch some classic horror films. Our personal favorite is The Addams Family. They truly remind you of happier and carefree times, which is exactly the vibe we want when celebrating Halloween.

2. Make Halloween Cards

Halloween is a day of creativity, so let your students be completely whacky and encourage them to unleash the artist inside them. Have some black chart papers, cotton swabs, and some red paint for that extra creepy element.

3. Write a Horror Short Story

On the topic of creativity, make your English lessons a little extra fun, and let your students' minds wander to the dark spooky alleys. Ask them to write horror stories with chilling prompts to share with their peers. Children are quite imaginative humans, and an activity like this will create interesting stories. Their stories are surely going to set the spooky mood.

Something about dressing up on Halloween as scary characters add to the thrill of Halloween. Make class time memorable and spooky, and hold a small award show for the children. You can have awards for the scariest costime, the most creative costume and least recognizable.

6. DIY Halloween Bowling

This is such a fun activity for children. ll you need are white paper cups and a ball. Draw ghost faces, spider webs, or pumpkins on the cups, line them up and you’re good to go.. Let's get this party started with this exciting Halloween activity.

Children are strangely intrigued by horror stories. Okay, maybe not all, but they do find it thrilling. So pick a haunted house to discuss with your students, and tell them facts and stories about the building, its history and residents.

10. Poke a Pumpkin

This serves as a decoration for the class as well as a quick interactive fun game for students. Get some pumpkin-themed balloons and throw in some candy or little treats. Stick the balloons on a poster wall, and have each student poke the pumpkin for an unexpected treat.
