TRICK your kids into LOVING Math with our spooky Halloween Printable Number Games These Halloween printables make Learning & Teaching Number Recognition a TREAT!
It’s time to STOP hating on the Halloween hype and use it to YOUR advantage! You won’t regret it, I promise. Until recently I never ‘did’ Halloween Classroom Activities with my kids; in fact, none of the teachers in my school ‘did’ a Halloween theme! If you want to give it a try, I have included a FREE set of Halloween themed number tracing cards at the end of the post for you too!
But the kids had other ideas about this. My reluctance to recognise Halloween didn’t stop the kids from being distracted by all things slimy, creepy and crawly, they absolutely LOVE Halloween so why not take that excitement and turn it into engagement and motivation, especially when teaching number recognition?

Yep, I’m all for using any TRICK in the book to get my kids to love learning! So if that means using thematic crafts for kids I am ABSOLUTELY ‘doing’ Halloween with my class this year! And you should give it a go too!
As soon as you give in and stop fighting it (Halloween) the better. So start incorporating slime, spiders, pumpkins, witches, ghouls & ghosts, whatever it takes, into your number recognition lessons, and you’ll get your kids to love learning MATH this Halloween!
