20 (Not Scary) Halloween Writing Prompts for Kids

by Sarah Gribble | 0 comments

I'm a firm believer in Halloween fun. But I know all the gore and scary movies aren't for everyone, especially little kids.

Halloween is for everyone, though! There's so much more to the celebration than jump scares and fake blood. And I think we all need a little lightheartedness this year.

20 (Not Scary) Halloween Writing Prompts for Kids

Have your kids try one of these writing prompts (or try one yourself)!

20 Halloween Writing Prompts for Kids

Why not get them excited for the holiday with a little bit of creative writing? Maybe pair these prompts with some home Halloween activities to get in the spirit of things.

(I know I'd love to mix up a potion or “ride” my broom around the house. Alas, I think my dog and my husband would think I'd finally lost it. I might take that risk, though.)

  • Write about a carved pumpkin coming to life.
  • One night a year (Halloween!) your pet can talk to you. Write what you talk about.
  • If you could dress up as anything or anyone in the world, who/what would it be? Describe the costume and write why you want to be that person/thing.
  • Your town wants to ban Halloween! Write a letter to the town council and mayor explaining why they shouldn't do this.
  • Finish this sentence: This Halloween, I'm going to …
  • Pretend you're making a potion in a cauldron. What do you put in it? What does the potion do?
  • Write about the silliest thing that's ever happened to you on Halloween.
  • If you were a wizard or a witch, what would you do with your powers?
  • You put on a pirate costume, but you can't take it off! Now you have to live as a pirate. What do you do?
  • A fairy lives under your bed. She's very nice and invites you to come visit her in Fairyland. What's it like there?
  • Write about solving a Halloween mystery. (Maybe with your favorite cartoon character?)
  • Would you rather be friends with a vampire or a werewolf? Why?
  • Everyone has decided to give presents for Halloween this year! What would be the absolute best Halloween present? Why?
  • You've discovered the broom in your house can fly. Hop on! Where do you go and what do you do?
  • You're a mad scientist. You've just created a creature in your lab. What is it? What does it do? What does it eat?
  • Write a story which contains the following words: moan; cackle; hiss; splash; crash; meow.
  • You get to interview a witch. Make a list of questions to ask her. How do you imagine she would answer? (Or have a sibling answer them!)
  • Write about going to a Halloween carnival. What do you do there? Don't forget to describe the scene including smell! Some activities to consider: bobbing for apples; a hayride; a corn maze.
  • You go to a psychic and they read your future. What do they tell you?
  • What happened on your favorite Halloween ever?

Halloween is a favorite among students of all ages. Whether you want to take a few minutes to have students “quick-write” or spend 20-30 minutes writing in-depth responses, these easy-to-use writing prompts will encourage your students to be creative. While all of the writing prompts are easy to incorporate independently, some can be used in collaboration with a story or novel that you are reading in class.

Halloween Writing Prompts

  • Do you love trick-or-treating? Dressing up in costumes? Haunted houses? Costume parties? Halloween games? Halloween decorations? Scary movies? Write a poem about your favorite part of Halloween, sharing why it is special to you.
  • Write a story about a kid who goes trick-or-treating. Start from the minute he or she puts on his or her costume and finish when he or she gets home and puts on normal clothes again. Tell me everything that happens.
  • If we had a Halloween party in class, what would you want to see? Should we decorate the classroom? How would we do that? What types of food and activities would we have? What costumes would you want to see?
  • What was the best Halloween you ever had? What made it great? What would make this Halloween even better than that?
  • Write a spooky story to tell around the campfire. Remember, you want to build suspense using onomatopoeia and alliteration. Don’t forget to have a big finale to frighten everyone who is listening.
  • If you could design a haunted house, what would you name it? What types of rooms would you have? Describe, in detail, three of the best rooms in your haunted house.

5 Halloween Writing Prompts

Since there were five different prompts, I let the kids choose which one they would like to complete first:

  • When I got home from school yesterday there was a magical cat sitting on my bed…
  • How to Make a Magic Brew
  • My favorite kind of candy is…
  • Halloween Acrostic Poem
  • And a picture story prompt

Then, it was time to engage their imagination and creativity.

halloween writing prompts for 6th grade

Each child wrote their story and then we used their writing checklist to make sure they had covered the writing reminders: use punctuation, check spelling, look up unfamiliar words and re-read the story to make sure it makes sense.

After they finished writing and editing, students took some time coloring the top.

We worked our way through each of the five Halloween writing prompts throughout the week.

If you printed them off on festive paper, you can also hang them up in your classroom for a bit of fall décor!

After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of  5 books to help teach children  to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips ( Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading ,  Mrs. Karle’s Reading Patch , and  Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch ). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read. Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called  The Handwriting Patch . With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The  Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller  the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles. The  Reading Patch  was established by the creators of  Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading . Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

Halloween ELA Activities – Reading, Writing, and Punctuation

Halloween ELA activities spark kids’ attention. This October, increase learning with reading passages, writing prompts, and punctuation activities. Your third, fourth, and fifth grade students will love them!

halloween writing prompts for 6th grade

Ms. Sneed Plans Some Halloween ELA

Our favorite fourth grade teacher broke out in a smile. “Let’s have some fun in our ELA block ” she said to her student teacher. “Time to plan our Halloween activities.”

She sat down at her desk and opened her October files. Mr. Grow pulled up a chair and pulled out his plan book.

Halloween ELA – Reading Passages

“Nothing like a scary story to grab their attention,” Ms. Sneed said.

The Headless Horseman

First, she pulled out The Headless Horseman . “I like to lead with four similar folktales,” she said. “See? Kids read four short, one-page stories. Then They find similarities and differences with Venn diagrams.”

“Cool,” Mr. Grow responded. “I like the way they address our literature standards too. Through these activities, kids compare folktales from around the world.”

In this Halloween ELA activity, kids compare and contrast four legends of the headless horseman.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

“As a follow-up, I ask them to read  The Legend of Sleepy Hollow . This adaptation works well for kids in fourth or fifth grade. It’s a great way to introduce parody.”

Mr. Grow pointed to the file. “I see it has a companion website as well.”

“Right.” Ms. Sneed clicked to open it. “As you can see, kids can explore links to video snippets, commercials, and art related to the legend. And,” she smiled, “another standard is managed. Kids study various illustrations and videos to determine how media affects the text’s meaning.”

Upper elementary students read an easier version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." They answer reading questions then analyze related videos and art.

Halloween ELA – Writing Prompts

After Mr. Grow penciled the reading activities into his plan book, Ms. Sneed moved on to writing.

Informative – How to Carve a Pumpkin

“At the beginning of October, we do a short informative Halloween writing activity. As students explain how to carve a pumpkin , they will also work on writing skills. First, they draw a face on a printed or virtual pumpkin. Second, they list the steps for carving. Third, they explore beginnings and endings. A specially-created thesaurus provides suggestions for word choice.”

“These organizers go a long way toward improving student writing,” Mr. Grow said. “This type of short, focused piece is perfect early in the school year.” He penciled the activity in for the first week of October.

In this Halloween ELA activity, students write informative pieces to describe how to carve a pumpkin. Writing process sheets and a specially designed thesaurus help them organize and improve writing.

Narrative – The Best-Dressed Witch

“In the middle of the month, our classes will write descriptive narratives.” Ms. Sneed’s eyes twinkles as she thought about the great stories they would produce. “As you can see,” she said, “each student describes the best-dressed witch as the plot unfolds.”

“More work on the writing process and improving narrative writing,” Mr. Grow said. “Looks like it will take about two weeks.” He penciled in the second Halloween writing prompt.

Kids focus on setting, plot development, dialogue, and lots of description to write a narrative about the best-dressed witch.

Persuasive – Wear a Costume

“Finally,” Ms. Sneed said, “kids will try to convince us to wear costumes with this persuasive paragraph . For our advanced kiddos, we can use the five-paragraph version .”

Mr. Grow’s eyes scanned the file. “Perfect!” he exclaimed. “We’ll hit three different genres of writing in one month. These Halloween writing prompts will give our kids some great practice – and support.”

Kids write a persuasive paragraph to convince their teacher to wear a costume. Graphic organizers help them from start to finish.

Halloween ELA – Punctuation Activities

“What about language skills?” Mr. Grow asked.

“Funny you should ask,” his mentor responded. She clicked around on her computer and opened a file named “Halloween Possessive Nouns.”

Possessive Nouns

“In three simple lessons, our classes will use Halloween-themed worksheets to master possessive nouns .”

“What?”

“Well, okay, it will take a little longer with added practice and the quiz. But seriously, with this method, kids really get it. First, you introduce singular possessive nouns. Just add an apostrophe to every word. Easy peasy. Second, you teach plural possessives. You know. Add ‘ to anything that ends in s, but add ‘s to everything else. Finally, kids move on to mixed practice.”

“I see that they practice two ways. Initially, they just add ‘ or ‘s. Then they have to replace an entire phrase, such as ‘teeth of the vampire.'”

“Right. And look at this. For extra practice, kids use this little coloring book. Fun!”

This Halloween ELA activity teaches kids to write possessive nouns in three short lessons: singular, plural, and mixed. A color and do book adds some fun to the worksheet-based unit.

Writing Dialogue

Finally, Ms. Sneed pulled up one more file. “These Halloween dialogue activities are some of my favorites. When presented with a riddle, kids write the reply as a direct quote.”

Mr. Grow grinned as he wrote the last activity into his plan book. “Look at that!” he exclaimed. “Our October ELA lesson plans are done. The kids will have a ball with these.”

Kids practice writing dialogue with Halloween riddles.

Enjoy Teaching

When teachers use fun Halloween ELA activities like these, they naturally enjoy teaching. Why not replace some of your worn-out, boring lessons with these sensational seasonal ideas!

Halloween Writing Prompts and Activities for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade

Halloween writing prompts, activities, and ideas for upper elementary classrooms

Need some low prep Halloween writing activities, prompts, and ideas for your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade classroom?

Halloween covers a variety of topics - from bats, to jack-o-lanterns, to monsters, to spooky stories, to candy, and more.  No matter what your upper elementary students need, one of the 9 Halloween writing prompt ideas below is bound to work for your classroom.

9 Halloween Writing Prompt Ideas

1. halloween from the point of view of a jack-o'-lantern.

It's always fun to have students practice point of view through writing!

Have students write a narrative that considers what a jack-o'-lantern might be experience on Halloween.  Have students think about:

  • What unusual things the jack-o'-lantern might see, smell and hear?
  • How might a jack-0'lantern describe humans?
  • What might a jack-o'lantern think about Halloween?

Let your 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students' creative juices flow!

2. A No Prep Monster Descriptive Activity

This Halloween writing activity is always a favorite!

Have students secretly draw a picture of a monster and write a matching description.  Then, display all of the monster drawings while students read their descriptions to the class.  If students have included plenty of details in their writing, then the class should be able to figure out which monster is theirs!

For a no prep, scaffolded version that walks students through the entire writing process, check out this Monster Descriptive Activity Resource.  

Stick with the theme with these other fun monster reading and writing activities.  

3. Candy Corn Opinion Writing

Candy Corn Bundle

4. Write a Halloween Squiggle Story

If you haven't ever tried squiggle stories with your upper elementary students, Halloween is a great time to try.

To write a squiggle story, give students a sheet of paper with a random squiggle on it.  Have them create a Halloween drawing that incorporates that squiggle.  Then, they write a short story based on their drawing.

This no prep resource includes plenty of squiggles and "prompts"   to help direct students writing.  And best of all, it can be used all year, not just for Halloween.

5. Make an Edible Spider How - To Writing

Food makes everything more fun!  As a class, make an edible spider together.  Then, have students write a how to paper that gives instructions on how to make that spider.

This edible spider is made chocolate donuts and pretzels, while this one uses Oreos and licorice.  

This is a fun option for schools or students that do not celebrate holidays or Halloween.

6. Use These Free October Themed Writing Prompts

This Halloween freebie includes 24 October themed questions that can be used as team building discussion questions or as writing prompts.

While not all of the questions are directly related to Halloween, they are related to October themes.  Some of these questions make good alternatives for students or classrooms that do not celebrate holidays.

7. Compare and Contrast Hallowen and Dia de los Muertos

Instead of focusing on Halloween, spend a little class time on Día de los Muertos.  You could read a book like Pablo Remembers the Fiesta of the Day of the Dead or teach a   more comprehensive lesson like this one.

Once students have been introduced to Día de los Muertos, they can compare and contrast the two holidays. Using paragraphs frames to help scaffold compare and contrast writing like this can be very helpful.

Pablo Remembers

8. Write a Halloween Poem

Sometimes the idea of writing poetry can feel overwhelming.  But Halloween can make for fun inspiration.

You could keep it simple, and have students write a short couplet - 2 lines that rhyme.

This is also a great opportunity to have students write a Halloween haiku.  Writing haiku will require students to have a basic understanding of haiku.  (This no prep haiku resource can help with that.) Since haiku are short and structured, however, even your more hesitant writers will be eager to write.

Dana Kessler, a 2nd-5th grade teacher, has her students use scary paintings as inspiration for their poetry.  You could use paintings like The Scream or The Abbey in the Oakwood.

Check out these examples of haiku that you can include in your poetry lessons.
