Here's a fun and educational way to use those Halloween foam shape stickers that you can get in the dollar aisles or at craft stores around Halloween time.
I used white construction paper to make a graph and placed a different Halloween sticker in each column. If you want the graph to be more durable I would suggest using tag board paper instead but for our needs the construction paper worked fine.
Next we used index cards cut up into small rectangles and placed one sticker on each card. I chose to put the stickers on cards as opposed to having my girls stick on the stickers to the graph so that we can use this activity/game multiple times.
I also made cards with the terms Most, Least, Same so the girls can use these comparative words once they complete the graph.
Before the girls started the graph I grouped the stickers cards together so that once they were done graphing they would each have a column that had the most, least and two that were the same.
Again, what's great about having the stickers on cards is that each time you play you can group them together differently so that the outcome is never the same, making it more challenging and keeping it interesting for the kids.
Now the fun part, graphing time!
Once they were done I asked them to count each category and write the corresponding number under each column. This is a great way to include writing and number skills into this activity!
Finally, I asked them to tell me which column had the most, least and which two were the same. They then placed the comparative word under the corresponding column.
There you have a Halloween graphing game using not only graphing skills but counting, number writing, and comparison words as well! Now you can switch it up and do it over again and again!
