Using Halloween Coloring Pages in Spanish & French Class to Add Seasonal Fun

As Halloween approaches, many of us foreign language teachers look for creative ways to bring the season’s excitement into our classrooms while keeping students engaged in their target language. One of my favorite resources for this time of year is Halloween-themed coloring books and coloring pages in Spanish and French. Not only do these seasonal activities bring a bit of festive fun, but they also allow students to build Halloween-related vocabulary.

Why Use Halloween Coloring Pages in Language Class?

Coloring pages may seem simple, but they offer incredible flexibility for language practice! In both of our Spanish and French classes, I use Halloween coloring activities to focus on seasonal vocabulary like fantôme (ghost), araignée (spider), la calabaza (pumpkin), and esqueleto (skeleton).
