Ghosts, Ghouls and Glitter - Halloween Classroom Decor

Hey fellow educators, 👻🎃

As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, there’s an undeniable excitement in the classroom. Halloween is approaching! Creating a spooktacular atmosphere in your classroom doesn’t have to be a hair-raising task. In fact, it can be downright fun and even educational. So, let’s sprinkle some ghostly glitter and bring in the ghouls - here’s how!

1. Spooky Bulletin Boards - cheap and on the go:

Start with the basics - your bulletin boards! Black and orange are your go-to colors. Use these as backdrops and let your creativity run wild. You can add paper bats, spiders, and even a friendly ghost or two. Encourage your students to create their own spooky characters to adorn the boards.

2. Classroom Door Haunts:

Transform your classroom door into a portal of mystery. How about turning it into a monster, or perhaps a witch’s entrance? Engage your students in crafting elements like giant eyes, creepy hands, or even a cauldron. It’s not just about decoration; it’s an art project in disguise!

3. Window Wonders:

Window space is often overlooked, but it’s a fantastic canvas for your Halloween creativity. Hang paper chains made of pumpkins and ghosts. You could even create a scene - a haunted house, a moonlit night, or a pumpkin patch. Let your students’ imaginations shine through their creations.

4. Student-Created Decor:

Now, here’s the secret ingredient: involve your students! Crafting Halloween decor can be an engaging activity. From making paper lanterns to creating hanging ghosts, kids love getting their hands messy. It not only adds a personal touch to your classroom but also lightens your load as a teacher.

5. Explore Decor Kits:

To make your life even easier, consider using classroom decor kits. My Halloween decor kits are designed with teachers in mind. They include everything from photo crafts to writing or photo activities that seamlessly blend into your decor. The best part? They are editable! Tailor them precisely to your classroom’s needs.

6. Monster Lettering Kit:

Letters can be spooky too! Use this monster lettering kit - it comes in vibrant colors and eerie black and white. Uppercase, lowercase, letters, and numbers - they are versatile and perfect for creating custom banners, labels, or even a Halloween alphabet display.

So, there you have it, fellow teachers! Halloween decor doesn’t need to be a hair-raising experience. Involve your students, explore the ready-made kits, and let your creativity flow. Let’s turn our classrooms into enchanting realms where learning and spookiness collide!
