About these halloween for kindergarten worksheets

These Halloween worksheets for kindergarten practice the skills of the fall: counting and writing numbers, adding and subtracting within 10, beginning sounds, short-vowel CVC words like bat, cat and web, sight words and writing a sentence. The pictures are friendly bats, ghosts, cats, owls, pumpkins and candy.

There is a short read-aloud about Fox picking a costume, with picture answers, a costume writing prompt with a drawing box, Halloween words to trace on kindergarten lines, a color by sight word picture and a big-letter word search. All pages are black and white, print on US Letter or A4, and pages with one right answer have an answer key on page 2. For preschool and 1st grade pages, see Halloween Worksheets.

How to use them

  1. Use one page a day in the last week of October, or set up Halloween centers with a math, a phonics and a writing page.
  2. Read the Fox story aloud twice before children answer the questions.
  3. Act out the candy subtraction with real candy or counters: put out 7, eat 3, count what is left.
  4. Give the word search and color by sight word pages to early finishers.

Teaching tips

  • On beginning sounds, say the picture's name and stretch the first sound: "mmmoon".
  • On CVC words, have children tap each sound on their arm, then write the middle sound.
  • For the writing prompt, it is fine if children draw first and write one sentence with help.
  • If a family does not celebrate Halloween, the Fall and Pumpkin pages practice the same skills.
