🎃 Monsters vs Witches: My New Halloween Game Freebie👾🧙‍♀️!

Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn’t resist making something extra fun for kids (and teachers!) this year. Enter… Monsters vs Witches — a colorful, silly, and slightly spooky board game that turns your classroom or small group into a Halloween playground! 🧌🧙‍♀️

I created this game thinking about all the chaos, giggles, and sugar-fueled energy that comes with Halloween. We tried it out with our own kids, and let me tell you… they were obsessed. Rolling the dice, answering fun questions, and ESPECIALLY performing goofy actions made for a fantastic time.

How It Works

The game is super simple: kids get divided into two teams - Monsters and Witches. They roll the dice, move around the board, and follow the instructions on the colorful spots:

🟣 Purple – Answer a question
🟠 Orange – Complete a fun action
🟢 Green – Move forward
🔴 Red – Move back

If a team can’t answer or perform the action, they go back a space. The first team to reach Finish wins!

What’s Included

This freebie comes with:

A 24-page board game full of monsters and witches. I printed it as a poster for extra large size (190% landscape on 4 pages laminated and taped together, see below).
Question and Action cards with fun reading and movement challenges - add reading practice to your game (you are welcome :)!
Teacher files to save prep time - print the board, pull up the questions on your screen, and play.
Tokens for Monsters and Witches.

It’s perfect for small groups (4 kids) or whole-class team play. And because we included the teacher files, you don’t even need to cut cards if you’re short on time!
