Virtual Halloween Activities
Are you a 3rd grade teacher looking for virtual Halloween activities?
I got you covered!
You may be teaching virtually, but that does not mean that you can’t share some Halloween fun with your kiddos.
Since many kids may not be trick-or-treating this year, this is even more reason to try to bring a little bit of festivities into learning.
Some of these ideas are academic related – others are just plain fun that are perfect to build and foster your classroom community.

Digital Halloween multiplication

How do they work?
Students answer a multiplication question. As the multiplication questions are answered, a “mystery picture” starts to be revealed with each correct answer.
How cool is that?!
Want to know how it works? If a student answers incorrectly, the box turns red and part of the picture doesn’t appear. If a students answers correctly, the box turns green and the mystery picture surfaces!
These goodies work great on Google Classroom using Google Sheets.
Halloween multiplication color-by-number
I also have a free multiplication color-by-number that you can send to kids to print (click here to download!). This one also works if you are doing a hybrid model and are teaching in the classroom. Read about ideas for use here!
Halloween costume or book character “parade”
Halloween is one of the favorite holidays a year for kids.
Trick-or-treating?! Costumes?! Candy?! Yes, please.
But with a pandemic going around? Hmmmm… not so much.
Every year kids are busting at the seams to talk about their Halloween costume or show it off to others.
Since many kids will not have the opportunity to trick-or-treat this year, make a costume “parade” to show off their costumes!
It’s easy, simply do a virtual meeting where kids can dress up and talk about their costumes.
You could create breakout rooms for discussion, or simply give each student one minute to talk about their costume or what they are excited about for Halloween.
You could also do a “book character” parade, where students dress as a book character. This way, the costumes can be super simple or elaborate, simply depending on what the students chooses!
Spooky stories
First do a spooky virtual read-aloud… or two… or three. Some of my FAVORITES (these are Amazon Affiliate links):
- Creepy Carrots
- Frankenstein (a parody of Madeline… for older kids)
- The Old Woman Who Was Not Afraid of Anything
Tell kids that they will be writing their OWN spooky stories!
You can have kids use Google Docs to write their stories. Students can also read their stories aloud to the class!
