Halloween Puzzles


Halloween Mini Puzzle Books are on sale until Oct 31st, 2021!

Halloween is next week! It is our favorite holiday. My kids are too old to trick or treat (have been for years) but they still love dressing up and handing out candies! If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate Halloween with your kids, try one of my Halloween Mini Puzzle Books. They are packed with 15 puzzles and answer keys. I have books available for grades K through 6 and each grade has unique puzzles. These puzzle books are four dollars in my store. They print on eleven sheets of paper, which you then cut in half and staple together. If you don't want to print the answer key, you can just print the eight pages of puzzles. 

I also have Teeny-Tiny Halloween Puzzle Books available. These little guys are one dollar each and print onto a single sheet of paper. One small snip and some folding and you can create this cute little book! Kids would love getting one of these books in their treat bags!

I hope everyone has a super awesome (and spooky) Halloween this year!

Fall Code Breakers #1&2


Some Fall Code Breakers are now available! I released Fall Code Breaker #1 a couple years ago. It got a small update and you can download it by clicking on the image below. Fall Code Breaker #2 is new, but uses the same code as #1. When your children solve these kinds of puzzles, they are practicing spelling and growing their vocabularies! I try to mix in nouns related to the season with adjectives that describe the sensations of Fall, like brisk, orange, and crunchy. If your kids don't know what the words mean, it's a great time of year to take them outside and show them! 


Enjoy this best of all seasons!

More Halloween Code Breakers


I created 2 more Halloween themed Code Breaker puzzles. Set 3 and 4 use a different code than sets 1 and 2. You can download these new puzzles by clicking on the pictures. You will get a pdf from Google Drive that includes answers. (If you are trying to download from a school network, you might be blocked from Google Drive by your admins. Try downloading from home instead!)


These are simple puzzles, but great fun! You can extend the activity by asking your children to encrypt a note in one of the secret codes. It could even be a poetry verse or quotation they are trying to memorize. They might also have fun writing secret notes to their friends! These are basic images, but some might have a hard time drawing them. So instead, you can download the template below where your kids can create up to 4 secret codes of their own!


I hope you and your students enjoy these free puzzles! (I have more Fall ones coming soon!)

Halloween Code Breaker #2


It's October and Halloween month! Yay! Here is a free puzzle called a Code Breaker. It contains a bunch of Halloween related words that have been encoded with little Halloween icons! So cute! These are very easy to solve, so very appropriate for younger elementary aged students. These types of puzzles help children practice spelling and visual perception skills, and expose them to a larger vocabulary.


You can also download Code Breaker #1 for extra crypto-cracking fun!

Hope your month is super spooky!
