Halloween-Themed Review Activities for Upper Elementary

Get in the spirit of the holiday with these Halloween-themed review activities for upper elementary.

With all the candy, costumes, and fall decor, Halloween is truly one of the most fun holidays to celebrate with students, but we can’t let this fun, spooky holiday creep into too much class time. Unless…we find a way to make celebrating the Halloween season educational.

Luckily, we have found many ways to do exactly that!

Halloween Glow Games

Glow-in-the-Dark Fun

I have seen a lot of really fun ways to celebrate Halloween, but one of my all-time favorite ways to celebrate is with some classroom glow-in-the-dark games! This is actually an idea that came to us from a teacher who purchased several of our Halloween resources.

To set up Halloween glow-in-the-dark games in your classroom, use glow sticks, black lights, neon colors, and highlighters to make the classroom activities glow in the dark.
