Halloween Matching Game Printable

These printable monster cards can be used a variety of ways, with kids of different ages. You could make them into a Halloween matching game for a small group, or turn the cards into a simple monster busy bag for the children.

Materials

Free printable monster cards
Laminating pouches (optional)
Laminator (optional)

Monster Matching Busy Bag - match pictures to words or play a game of memory with these Halloween cards

Prep the Monster Cards

Print out multiple copies of the Halloween matching game. Be sure to print out the cards best suited to your classroom or your child. Cut the cards apart.

Once that’s done, I’d suggest laminating the cards. That way, the kiddos can use them over and over again.

How to Use the Monsters Printable

These monster cards can be used a few different ways, depending on the child. Below are a few ways to use them:

  • Print out multiple versions of the picture-only cards. Children can match the “monsters” that are the same.
  • Print out copies of the picture-only cards, as well as the picture-word cards. Kids can match up the pictures while also seeing the words.
  • Print out copies of the picture-only cards, as well as the word-only cards. This task focuses more on letters and letter sounds, providing a bit more of a challenge for kids who need it.
  • Kiddos can use the monster cards to set up a simple game of memory.
  • Add magnetic letters to the busy bag so children can create the words that match up with the monsters.
