These Halloween-themed word mats are a versatile and engaging resource for Early Years and KS1. They’re designed to support young learners in developing vocabulary, spelling and writing confidence around an exciting seasonal theme.

The set includes three printable word mats. Each features six Halloween-related words and corresponding images that make it easy for children to recognise and understand the words.

With a total of 18 Halloween-themed words and illustrations, these mats are perfect for classrooms looking to bring a bit of fun into literacy activities.

Each word mat includes simple, child-friendly Halloween vocabulary. This includes words such as “pumpkin,” “witch,” “bat,” “ghost” and “broomstick”. There’s also colourful illustrations to help children connect the words with visual cues.

These mats are ideal for emergent readers and writers, as the images provide a helpful reference, encouraging independent learning.

Teachers can use these Halloween word mats in a range of activities. They’re perfect for writing corners, where children can practise writing simple sentences, labelling Halloween-themed pictures, or creating their own spooky stories.

For group work or guided reading sessions, the word mats provide a fun, seasonal way to introduce new vocabulary.

They can also serve as inspiration for circle-time discussions, where children can share what they know about each Halloween item and learn from their peers.

Whether for individual work, group activities or writing prompts, these Halloween word mats are a fantastic way to make literacy engaging and enjoyable for Early Years and KS1. Plus, they’re quick to print, making them a convenient addition to any classroom’s seasonal resources!
