I will admit, spiders and bats, along with other creepy crawlers and fliers, creep me out just a bit. Maybe a lot a bit! Funny thing, though, I still enjoy using these creatures as a theme in my classroom before Halloween. Students seem to LOVE Spider & Bat Themed Activities For Kindergarteners.
Spider & Bat Activities
Spider & Bat Themed Activities For Kindergarteners are an easy way to incorporate Halloween in your classroom without actually incorporating Halloween. I know some districts prevent teachers from using the actual theme of Halloween in the classroom, but spiders & bats are super close!
