Halloween worksheets for kids
Halloween vocabulary in English and Spanish — picture cards, a word search, tracing and a four-page PDF for the week before October 31.
Halloween lessons work best when the vocabulary is small and repeatable: ten words, three short activities, one picture set. These printables use the same ten Halloween words across a word search, picture cards, tracing and matching, so children meet each word four times without a new worksheet every day.

Three ways to use it
- Picture-word hunt. Hide the eight picture cards around the room. Call a word; children find the matching card and say it in English or Spanish.
- Costume labelling. Use the word cards as labels for a costume parade: witch, ghost, pumpkin, bat. Children stick the card on the picture and read it aloud.
- Candy sorting. Sort candy pictures by colour or shape, then write the colour word in both languages on the tracing sheet.
