Who is hiding in our haunted house?

Shine a torch, reveal a character and find its matching window!

Bring curiosity and conversation to your Halloween provision with this colourful, hands-on activity from Bond & Blossom. Friendly characters and a bold haunted house scene invite children to look closely, describe what they notice and match their discoveries.

Your four-page printable PDF includes:

  • A full-colour A4 haunted house matching board.
  • Eight illustrated window fronts.
  • Eight matching hidden character layers.
  • Instructions for printing, assembly and play.
  • Discover a ghost, bat, monster, witch, cat, skeleton, pumpkin and mummy!

Opportunities for Learning

Encourage visual matching, attention to detail, turn-taking and descriptive language. Explore positional vocabulary as children find characters at the top, bottom, beside or below another window.
Adults can join the discovery with comments such as:

  • “I can see something peeping through.â€�
  • “You found the same character!â€�
  • “I wonder what we’ll notice when we shine the light.â€�

Preparation

Print all pages on A4 at 100% / actual size to keep the pieces aligned. Cut out and assemble the window cards using the included instructions.

You will need thin white paper, scissors, glue or tape and an LED torch. ÌÇÐÄVlogt one card before assembling the set, as paper thickness, ink and torch brightness affect the reveal. Adult preparation and support required.

A playful addition to Nursery and Reception Halloween provision, small-group activities or a seasonal discovery table.
