Enjoy these free printable Halloween games & activities — we’re including 31 so you can count down the days this month with one for each day in October!
My kids are telling me that October begins next week (where the heck did September go?!) Which means it’s time to countdown to one of their most favorite holidays — Halloween!
I love to surprise them with a fun & FREE printable Halloween games, paper crafts, word games, scavenger hunts and other quick & easy Halloween-themed activities!
31 Free Printable Halloween Games & Activities
Dressing up, candy, carving pumpkins, candy, decorating, more candy…
As I’m sure you know from reading many of our favorite Halloween activities, I’m not a big fan of the whole focus-on-the-candy part of the holiday (even though chocolate is a wonderful thing 😉
Instead, I like to have non-candy alternatives for us to enjoy during the month! I LOVE keeping a basket with paper games & activities near our kitchen table — it encourages reading, writing, family bonding and (most importantly) some laughs each day.
In addition to all the FREE games & activities, we also love to have a few family favorite items in our seasonal basket (I’ve included affiliate links in case you’d like to add them to yours):
- Halloween Mad Libs (crazy funny!) or if you have younger kids, try the Halloween Mad Libs Jr edition
- printable Halloween Coloring pages (ones for both kids & adults so I can join in!)
- blank paper with Halloween themed stampers
- and of course Halloween-themed pencils
All of the wonderful activities on our list below include FREE printables!
Print out activities and let your kids choose one each afternoon as a surprise 🙂 It’s a great after school activity and fun for family time on the weekends too! You can also use them in the classroom for a Halloween-themed writing or creative thinking area.
You’ll find scavenger hunts, Halloween word games, printable masks, pumpkin stencils and more! Chose one for each day of October or do a 13 days of Halloween countdown near the end of the month. And if you LOVE Halloween be sure to check out the Halloween Printable Activities & Countdown with TONS of fun ideas for families!
Whichever activities you choose, have a ‘haunting’ good time this month — Happy Halloween!
