This Halloween crossword picks 12 words from a 30-word bank and gives each a kid-friendly clue: "A big black pot a witch stirs in stories", "A carved pumpkin with a light inside", "The long cry a wolf makes". A word bank at the bottom keeps it doable for grades 2 to 4.
Halloween 2026 is a Saturday, so school parties will mostly happen on Friday, October 30. A crossword is a good quiet station between costume parades and cupcakes. For older kids, turn off the word bank. For a whole class, click New puzzle a few times and print different versions, so neighbors can't copy.
Tips for using it
