If you’re looking for some activities to celebrate Halloweek in your classroom, look no further. Education World has compiled a series of resources inspired by educators from over the years to help make Halloween a special and engaging occasion for your students.
EdWorld has several math activities that are sure to engage your children this Halloweek.
While Pumpkin Spice Lattes and other pumpkin-themed treats have kept us occupied this start of fall, a pumpkin-themed math activity is the perfect way to keep your class occupied during math instruction.

Candy is arguably one of the best parts of Halloween.
Instead of just putting out a couple candy bowls and calling it a day, get constructive with candy in the classroom by adding in into the curriculum.
Such activities include M&M math, rock candy experiments, and even history lessons about the evolution of popular candies such as Hersey and Pez.
Check those out and more here.
The popular best-selling and timeless children’s series, Goosebumps, has been reinvented this month with a movie re-boot, making it a relevant topic for the classroom once again.
This EdWorld resource is specifically designed to teach Goosebumps in the classroom, including plenty of activities to accompany the books.

Do Vampires really exist? That question you’ll pose to your students this particularly spooky week and ask them to debate it- of course using evidence to support each claim.
It’s based on an entire Vampire Lesson Plan provided by EdWorld where all that’s needed is an excel spreadsheet and internet access for students to refer to real-world data when determine whether or not vampires exist.
Let the debate begin here.
If your classroom is all spooked out, use alternatives from UNICEF to have your class perform Halloween-inspired service projects.
