Halloween Games -an activity for preschoolers

It is that time of year again to start thinking of fun Halloween Games! This game incorporates exercise with learning shapes and sorting. At the beginning of this activity I showed my kids all the Shape character’s homes. This is so they can identify what they are finding.

I then went and hid all of the cut out shapes throughout the house. I just used double stick tape or rounded regular tape to stick these everywhere.

I told my children that the witches and Ghosts and Jack o lanterns had gotten loose in the house and I needed their help to get them back to their homes. They had to run upstairs find some of the characters and return them to their homes that were spread out downstairs! Check our our Halloween games in progress below!

When they came to put the characters on their homes I would ask them what shape their characters were inside. This part helped them recognize and remember the shapes.

I have included all the printouts for the shape characters and the shape homes here:

Bats and Witches Frankenstein and Jack o Lanterns Spiders and Ghosts Jack o Lantern Octagon Bat Cave Oval Frankenstein House Square Witch Broom Diamond Spiders Web circle Ghost Castle Triangle

once you have printed off these pictures you will need to Laminate

all and cut out the shape characters. (This will make the activity reusable for next year.)

I then just used Double Stick Tape

on the shape characters to make them like stickers!
