1. Halloween Eyeballs
These are hands down my favorite Halloween goodie from the Dollar Tree to use in my classroom because they can be used in soooooo many ways!
Here are just a few:
1. Write numbers on them and have students pull out two and either add them, subtract them, multiply or divide them. You can even use larger two-digit, or three-digit numbers!
2. Have students pull out two and have them write a fraction with them, then see if they can find two equivalent fractions.
3. Write letters on them and have students write words that begin with that letter or have them match lower case and upper case letters.
4. Write vocabulary words on them and have students pull them and define them. See if other students can guess their vocabulary word!
5. I love the way that Simply Engagement used them to have students explore genres!
2. Halloween Giant Eyeballs
Speaking of eyeballs, if you are looking for a behavior management technique, put these on the board (they come in a pair in the package) with the words "Eye like what I see". Then, every time you see the behavior you like, you can give the class a point. They could be working for extra recess, a movie, or even your Halloween party!
3. Orange Foam Dice
I love using dice in the classroom for all sorts of activities! You can make any of your regular activities more Halloween themed by using these orange colored foam dice. I like to use them with my Roll and Respond activities!
4. Halloween Pens
Another way to transform regular classroom activities into Halloween activities is by using Halloween pens or pencils! I place them in our center rotations instead of the regular pens and pencils, and my kids are instantly enthralled! They especially love these mini-pens!
5. Halloween Candy
I haven't bought any new Halloween candy, because I am working on eating healthier, and I KNOW that they would be a huge temptation for me! So, this picture is from some old ones from last year!
Anyway, Halloween candy can be used as game markers, prizes, and more! Students are always more engaged when food is involved!
6. Halloween Color by Number
I'm sure you have crayons on hand in your classroom, but you can also pick them up at the Dollar Tree and pair them with some Halloween color by number activities for a quick and easy math center or activity!
