1) Free AAC Halloween Communication Boards
These free communication boards are great for trick-or-treating, trunk-or-treats, and Halloween parties.

Halloween offers lots of opportunities for social interactions, problem-solving, and perspective-taking. This set of social skills questions has been really popular with my students. Social skill areas covered include “Topic Talkers”:

- Talk about your Halloween costume.
“Problem Solvers”:
- You are home alone and you hear a knock at the door. What do you do?
- One of your neighbors dares you to throw eggs at a house. What do you do?
- You are out trick or treating and your neighbor only has candy that you don’t like. What do you do?
“Act it out”
- Pretend that you just walked into a spider web.
- Pretend that you just saw a ghost.
- Pretend you are a zombie.

11) Make a spider web with a ball of yarn:
- Have a group of students sit or stand in a circle. Get a ball of yarn. Have one student hold one end of the yarn and toss the ball of yarn across the circle to another student. Then the catcher of the yarn holds onto the yarn and tosses the ball across to another student. Have the students continue to hold onto the yarn with one hand and toss the ball to another student until all students are holding onto some of the yarn and a large web forms. This is a fun social activity, getting to know-you activity, and can even be used to answer language questions or practice speech sounds.
12) Monster Freeze Dance
- Get the kids up and moving and listen to some fun spooky music. When the music stops – freeze. Here are a few song suggestions for the playlist: Thriller by Michael Jackson, Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Picket, Ghostbusters Theme Song, The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and The Addams Family Theme Song.
I hope these spooktacular Halloween activities create some Halloween fun in your home, classroom and therapy rooms!
