Halloween Left Right Game – Printable Classroom Or Home Activity

Make Halloween celebrations more exciting with this fun and interactive Halloween Left Right Game. This ready-to-use activity gets pupils listening carefully, following directions and passing a small gift or Halloween-themed item around the group as they hear the words LEFT and RIGHT.

The game is designed for groups of all sizes and is particularly suitable for Halloween classroom parties, tutor time, group activities, family gatherings and end-of-term celebrations.

The resource includes a clear How to Play page with simple instructions, followed by a Halloween-themed story packed with LEFT and RIGHT prompts. As the story is read aloud, players pass their item to the left or right each time the corresponding word is heard. When the story ends, everyone keeps the item they are holding.

The story follows Emma as she prepares for a school Halloween party, searches for her missing wand and follows a trail of spooky clues around the school. It includes plenty of Halloween-themed details, including pumpkins, bats, ghosts, costumes, sweets and a spooky treasure box.

What’s included:

• 1 How to Play instruction page
• 2-page Halloween Left Right story
• Clear LEFT and RIGHT prompts throughout the story
• A fun Halloween theme suitable for children
• A4 printable format

How to play:
Players sit or stand in a circle, each holding a small wrapped present or Halloween-themed item. One person reads the story aloud. Whenever players hear LEFT, they pass their item to the person on their left. Whenever they hear RIGHT, they pass it to the person on their right. At the end of the story, each player keeps the item they are holding.

You don’t need to use presents either. The instructions suggest alternatives such as Halloween cards, stickers, small toys, chocolate treats or other Halloween-themed items.
