5 Fun Halloween Crafts & Writing Activities for Grades 2–3

Bring creativity and literacy together with five friendly Halloween projects for Grades 2–3! Students make a tube monster, spider web, pumpkin feelings face, paper-plate bat, and paper-bag ghost using simple classroom materials.

This booklet includes materials lists, step-by-step craft directions, small-group assignments, independent activities, and writing prompts. Suitable for competitions and after-school activities. Students practice describing, storytelling, sequencing, discussing feelings, and working together. Display suggestions help you showcase both their crafts and their writing, while a completion certificate celebrates their effort.

Use the projects for seasonal lessons, literacy centers, small-group learning, or classroom celebrations. Choose and adapt activities according to your available time, grade level, and students’ proficiency, with options for drawings, labels, sentence starters, and longer responses. (36 pages)
