Spooky season is here, and as teachers, we know what that comes with, right? 🎃 Lots of Halloween energy! 🎃 In this episode, I’m giving you several ideas that you can use to make a Halloween class party really fun. These ideas will allow your students to funnel their energy into something that will be enjoyable for everybody.

I have 22 class party game ideas, and have divided them into three different categories - games that you can use in centers, games you can play as a whole class, and games that you can do while students are snacking at their desks.
