Want more KS1 Halloween activities for your English lessons? Discuss trading; or, even better — start trading some Hallowe’en candy or tokens (erasers, etc). Have the children discuss what fair trading looks and feels like. Zen Ghosts by John J Muth is a unique approach to a Hallowe’en children’s book, featuring a wise panda, Stillwater, who shares deeply spiritual tales with his young friends. Each book in the Zen series has a beautiful message, and this one takes the fear out of the concept of ghosts and makes the idea beautiful.Witches have always worked with nature to hone their craft. That deeply symbiotic relationship has meant that they have been at the forefront of the movement to protect the environment and take care of our beautiful planet. This enlightening guide outlines the practices of ethical witchcraft and includes spells for those witches keen to protect the Earth. These practices are broken down into easy-to-follow sections, making a perfect introduction to green witchcraft. Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson is a fun, repetitive story about a witch’s flight that keeps getting waylaid by dropped items, and new passengers. Written by the same author as the Gruffalo, it is a cute story that the kids requested over and over again, and helped drive home a good moral about sharing.

Filled with mind-bending stories of dark magic, terrifying hauntings and unexplained phenomena, the world of the occult has left us fascinated and fearful since ancient times. Spellbinding, mysterious and hidden from view, occult practices offer a way to uncover the secret knowledge of the universe, but beware: some say this knowledge comes at a price... It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Halloween Multiplication Mosaics Worksheets: By solving all of the sums and colour-coding each square on these worksheets, pupils can reveal some gorgeous Halloween images. Another of the wonderful activities from this booklet is the Halloween party invitations. This is an activity where children can be creative when creating and designing their own invitations. A lovely idea would be for children to distribute these to other members of the class as part of promoting a positive atmosphere. We honestly don't want to brag, but when it comes to Halloween-themed games and activities for EYFS children, we really do have it all! Other spooky Twinkl resources:Miss Spider’s Wedding by David Kirk is a longer story, more suited to elementary-aged children, but I read this during a wind-down time and it was well-received. Children learn that good friends (or true love) come in a variety of appearances, and that we should rejoice when we have it. The story reads like an ancient Greek poem. Halloween is a great time of year for children, but it's always good to have lots of activities to keep them busy and keep that excitement under control, and it's a perfect time for some Halloween-inspired arts and crafts. Since giving up being a business analyst when juggling travel, work and kids proved too complicated, she founded KiddyCharts so she could be with her kids, and use those grey cells at the same time. Play “Room on the Broom”— a fun twist on Musical Chairs. You can use a length of wood, a bench, or a bunch of small child-sized chairs Practice anything with sequences or two-step projects. I had the children sort out fall counters and then use them to practice counting. A two step recipe would be a great alternative.

One of the great things about colouring is that it’s accessible to anyone. Being able to add your own colours helps make the experience more personal, and, just like goblincore itself, there’s no pressure to make these drawings perfect. Edgar Gets Ready for Bed by Jennifer Adams is a sweet, modern take on Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”— for children! Edgar is a little raven protesting all of the steps along the way to bedtime with that infamous “Nevermore!” screech. If you enjoy Mo Willems books, you’ll enjoy this one.
