Make early-math lessons fun this Halloween with our Spooky Counting Template: a bright, interactive whiteboard activity designed for young learners. This playful counting game helps students practice number recognition and counting skills while keeping the lesson festive and light-hearted.
How Spooky Counting Works
Students count the spooky characters on each slide — bats, ghosts, pumpkins, and black cats — then circle or highlight the correct number using the drawing tool on the Lessonspace whiteboard. It’s a simple yet engaging way to build confidence with numbers 1–4 while introducing fun seasonal vocabulary.

Tips and Variations
