Halloween Kindness Activities for Kids

Inside: Use these Halloween kindness activities for kids to focus on and spread kindness during October. 


Halloween is, of course, a kid favorite holiday. 

It could be the costumes and dressing up to be anything you want. 

It could be the Halloween parties, carnivals, and costume parades. 

Or, it could be the obscene amounts of candy given to them. 

And one of the easiest “teaching tricks” is to lean into what kids already love to teach them a concept you want to introduce them to. 

So October and all things Halloween is the perfect time to also focus on social emotional learning and kindness. 

To make kindness a habit, we have to consistently and intentionally teach kindness and give kids specific ways to show kindness to others. 

So to make teaching social-emotional learning easier, we use these Halloween Activities for kids in this Halloween Kindness Bundle. 

  Use these Halloween kindness activities for kids to focus on and spread kindness during October. 

Why Kindness at Halloween is Important: 

Kindness is essential, every month of the year. To make that happen, we use these 100 Acts of Kindness and this Yearly Kindness Challenge.

But during October, when the holiday craziness starts to gear up, it’s a really important time to focus on kindness and social emotional learning. 

As kids run door to door trick or treating, it’s easy to push or grab or forget manners. 

When kids dress up in costumes it’s easy to forget that other people have different likes and dislikes. 

So it’s a great time to prep kids and focus on kindness so they remember to be kind when they’re trick or treating. 

But we can’t cross our fingers and hope it works out. We have to explicitly and intentionally teach kids how to be kind. 

So, we can read Halloween Kindness books like these with them: 

The Magic of Kindness

Zadie and the Witch’s Tea

How to Use the Halloween Kindness Activities for Kids Bundle:

Use these Halloween kindness activities for kids to focus on and spread kindness during October. 

You can start by talking about kindness in October and why it’s so essential with the Discussion starters. 

Choose which version of Halloween Kindness Emergent Reader you want to use (color, black and white, or the no illustrations version). If you use the black and white version, encourage kids to use these skin color crayons so they can draw their friends and family and teacher. 

Kids can practice spreading kindness as they count down to Halloween with our Halloween Paper Chain Kindness Countdown. Every day, kids will rip off one of the paper chains, do the kindness activity, and be one day closer to trick or treating!

The visual representation of the paper chain will show kids how many days are left without you having to answer!

There are plenty of writing opportunities to connect creative writing and expository writing to kindness in October, including our Pumpkin Craft and Write and our Halloween kindness writing prompts. 

Kids can sort kind and unkind actions as a small group or as a whole group game to determine what is kind and what is not. 

They can practice different ways they can be kind on Halloween with the Halloween Kindness Role Playing Cards.

These Halloween Kindness Role Playing Cards are perfect for intentionally teaching kids how to be kind and then giving them fun, hands on ways to practice that kindness.

Kids can practice being kind with our Halloween Handprint Crafts. You can use the printables to create Halloween handprint art, then donate the art to a local nursing home or retirement center to decorate the halls and lobby. 

Teaching kindness doesn’t have to be a chore, or something boring, or something hard. 

We can do it in a meaningful, fun, hands-on way with the resources in the Halloween Kindness Bundle.
