This Halloween activity is a great way for your students to work on their reading, recognition and instruction following skills. Students have to read the instructions on each of the task cards included, and find/point to the matching items on the Halloween scene. This is a great way for students to pay close attention to detail and start to work on their symbol > image matching/recognition skills. The theme is linked to Halloween and is a great way for you to introduce some Halloween fun into your classroom while continuing your students work on these important skills. Instructions are also included on first page of the PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual pieces so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting.

Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle.
