Make learning numbers fun this Halloween with this engaging collection of counting, number recognition, coloring, matching, and hands-on activities designed for Kindergarten, Preschool, and ESL/EFL learners!

Students practice identifying numbers 1–10 while developing counting skills, one-to-one correspondence, fine motor skills, and number sense through a variety of Halloween-themed activities featuring pumpkins, spiders, spider webs, and other seasonal visuals.

Halloween Numbers Flashcards

A set of flashcards from 1 to 10, to review the numbers or play games. They are big enough for bigger groups in classroom settings. Scroll through the blog for so many ideas for using the flashcards.

Designed for young learners, these engaging cards help students practice number recognition, counting skills, one-to-one correspondence, and quantity identification in a seasonal and hands-on way.

There’s a set of small cards numbers 1 to 10 to use for small groups teaching or even online.

Halloween Worksheets

 Just a few worksheets to spice up the lesson.

Worksheet1. A simple listening worksheet.

Teacher: Find number 1! Color number one green!

Continue with the rest.

 Then, have the students point to each number as you name them.

Teacher: Show me number two! What color is number two?

Students: orange!

           Worksheet 2. A set of cut and paste worksheets.

 Each student receives a worksheet with spider webs containing different numbers and spider numerals. As the teacher gives color instructions, students carefully listen and color the matching number and its spider web.

For example, the teacher may say, “Color number 5 yellow,” or “Color number 2 red.” Students must identify the correct number and color both the number and the web the assigned color. 

After completing the coloring worksheets, students can continue practicing number recognition with this fun hands-on matching activity. First, students cut out the spider numeral cards. Then, they carefully count the spiders on each web and match the correct numeral card to the corresponding web.

This follow-up activity helps reinforce counting skills, number recognition, and one-to-one correspondence while giving students an opportunity to work independently.

Halloween Feed me bottle or box

  Assembling the Feed Me Bottle

Create a fun Halloween math center with this easy-to-make Feed Me Bottle game! Simply print the bottle template and candy number cards, cut out the pieces, and glue the monster template onto a recycled plastic bottle with the top section removed. Next, cut out the candy numbers and place them beside the bottle. Once assembled, students are ready to practice number recognition and counting by “feeding” the correct candy numbers into the monster’s mouth. This hands-on activity is perfect for building fine motor skills while making math practice exciting and engaging! 🎃👻🍬

Say a number and a student picks up the candy with that number and feeds the vampire.

Match the candies cutouts to any of the other cutouts from the resource or any other cutouts that you might have.

Halloween Number Matching Activity: Number Words, Numerals, and Candy Corn Quantities

Teaching numbers becomes much more meaningful when children can see, read, and count them in different ways. This fun Halloween-themed matching activity helps young learners connect number words, numerals, and quantities while developing important early math skills.

In this hands-on game, students match three different cards:

🎃 A numeral card (1–10)
🍬 A candy corn quantity card
📝 A number word card

Children carefully count the candy corn pieces in each jar, find the matching numeral, and then connect it to the correct number word. By using visual, symbolic, and written representations of numbers, students strengthen number recognition and build a deeper understanding of number concepts.

And do you need more games? Maybe for the Halloween party. Just print the game board, it comes in two different sizes.

Preparing the Halloween Number Matching Mat

Before the activity begins, print and laminate the matching mat, number cards, and number word cards for durability. Cut out all the cards and organize them into separate piles. During the game, students count the candy corn pieces on the mat and match them with the correct numeral and number word. This hands-on activity helps young learners practice counting, number recognition, and number-word association while building fine motor skills. It is an engaging Halloween-themed math center that encourages independent learning and reinforces early numeracy concepts through play.

Halloween Number and Word Matching Game

This hands-on Halloween matching game helps young learners practice number recognition, number words, and counting skills in a fun and engaging way. Students match the number cards to the correct number words and candy corn groups on the game mat. As they play, they strengthen their early math vocabulary, counting accuracy, and visual discrimination skills. This activity is perfect for small groups, learning centers, partner work, or independent practice during your Halloween-themed lessons. 🎃🍬👻

Halloween Number Matching with Clothespins

Add an extra fine motor challenge to this Halloween matching game by attaching either the number words or the numeral cards to clothespins. Students count the candy corn pictures and clip the correct numeral or number word to the matching space on the game mat. This hands-on activity helps children develop number recognition, counting skills, vocabulary, and hand strength while practicing important fine motor skills. Perfect for math centers, small groups, independent practice, or Halloween-themed learning stations! 🎃🍬✂️

Candy Corn Number Recognition Activity

In this fun Halloween math activity, students practice counting, number recognition, and following directions. The teacher assigns a color to each group of candy corn pieces (for example, Two candy corns are red). Students color the candy corn pieces using the correct color and then write the matching number beside each group. This hands-on worksheet helps reinforce counting skills, color recognition, and number writing in an engaging way for young learners. 🎃🌽✏️
