Spooky Themed Activities For Halloween

October is upon us! The month of spooks and scares. It’s also becoming colder and wetter… and some of us are becoming less inclined to go outdoors.

But with all the extra time spent inside, it’s important to make sure all that extra indoor time doesn’t lead to too much sitting around and a lack of motivation to move!

Screen time is making it harder than ever to get kids moving, and the colder weather makes it even tougher. But we all know the scary truth about what happens when kids don’t get enough exercise.

So imoves want to help you keep your classroom active and healthy. And the best way to do that is to make movement enjoyable, engaging and relevant.

So for this Halloween, get your class moving and keeping fit with their FREE Halloween-themed resources!

They can have fun, get in the spirit and burn off some energy to help them focus and do well this autumn term.
