The weather may be frightful, and the great outdoors might not look very inviting on a dark autumn evening. You may not be able to go trick or treating like in the past with COVID restrictions. Create a festive atmosphere at home for the kids at Halloween with decorations and story writing.
Children aged 5-7 are still working on their vocabulary and grasp of the English language. Alongside reading, word puzzles and other literacy tasks (see our full range of Halloween English resources), they can really use their imagination with Halloween writing activities.
