4 Printable Activities To Learn Halloween Words

1. Halloween Jumble

In this fun and educational Halloween Jumble activity, kids will work to unscramble a series of jumbled letters to reveal hidden Halloween words. Each scrambled word is mixed up, and their task is to figure out the correct word by rearranging the letters.

This activity helps kids improve their spelling and vocabulary skills while having fun with Halloween-themed words. As they work through the jumbles, they’ll become more familiar with common Halloween words and practice critical thinking by figuring out the correct order of the letters. 

2. Halloween Nouns and Adjectives

In this creative and engaging activity, kids will explore Halloween-themed words by coming up with six nouns related to Halloween and then pairing each noun with a descriptive adjective. They will write these nouns in the left column of the worksheet. Then, for each noun, they will choose an adjective that best describes it, such as “spooky,” “glowing,” or “haunted,” and write these adjectives in the right column next to the corresponding noun.

By matching nouns with adjectives, they develop a better understanding of how descriptive language works, which enhances their writing skills. Plus, it’s a great way to get into the Halloween spirit while learning!

3. Scary Like Halloween: Similes Activity

In this imaginative activity, kids will practice using similes by completing sentences with Halloween-themed comparisons. Similes are a fun way to make writing more vivid and descriptive by comparing one thing to another using the words “like” or “as.”

Kids will look at the incomplete similes on the worksheet and think about Halloween-related words or ideas that could fit into the blanks. For example, they might complete a sentence like “You look as ________ as ________” with “You look as spooky as a ghost.” They’ll fill in each blank with words that create a fitting and creative comparison. 

4. Trick-or-Treat Plural Sort Activity

In this fun and educational activity, kids will learn how to form plurals by sorting Halloween-themed words into the correct columns based on how their plurals are made.  Kids will look at the list of words at the bottom of the worksheet. Their task is to decide how each word should be changed to become plural. 

For example, the word “vampire” would simply add an “-s” to become “vampires,” while “fairy” would change to “fairies” by dropping the “y” and adding “-ies.” They will write each word in the appropriate column based on its correct plural form. 

By sorting the words into the correct columns, kids will become more confident in their spelling and understanding of English pluralization rules.

We hope you had fun exploring these Halloween words in English. Now you know some cool Halloween terms to use in your celebrations. Have a spooky and exciting Halloween!
