Halloween Math Games

Halloween gives us the opportunity to add a huge dose of fun to math lessons. There are lots of simple Halloween math games and activities that you can create with a Halloween theme and I also have loads of printable Halloween math games and activities.

BOO

The games above are really simple games that you can create using popsicle sticks and cups. These games help students review their addition facts or multiplication facts or other facts if you prefer. You might already be familiar with the game Kaboom. Well Boo is just a Halloweenified version. Write your facts on sticks and write Boo on several sticks also.

To Play:

The players put the sticks in the cup and take turns to draw out a stick and answer the fact.
They keep the stick if they are correct and return the stick if they aren’t.
When a player draws out a Boo stick, they have to place all of their sticks back in the cup.
Play continues for a specified time and the winner is the player with the most sticks when time is up.

So simple but also so much fun!

Tic Tac Toe

Here is another simple game that you can use to review facts. All you need are some plastic spiders or you can use 2 different types of Halloween themed erasers. Write the facts on a Tic Tac Toe grid and you are set to go. The players simply answer a fact before they can put one of their spiders or erasers on the board. The winner is the first one to create a line of 3 just like in the regular game of Tic Tac Toe.

Printable Halloween Math Games

If you want some ready to go printable games you might like my grade by grade Halloween math games.

I have games for 1st – 4th grades. Each set contains colored math board games and also ‘print and go’ black and white math game sheets. Each game reviews math skills appropriate for that grade and there is a big enough variety that it allows you to differentiate.
