Ah, the month of October. The fall season is in full swing, leaves are changing colors, and pumpkin-spiced everything fills the grocery store. It’s a time of year when the best part is— you guessed it— Halloween! But how can you bring the Halloween spirit into your classroom? You’re in the right place! We’ve got some fun easy Halloween classroom decorations that won’t break the bank. So, let’s dive into creating a spooky atmosphere that’s perfect for learning spaces.
Let’s start with the entrance to your Halloween haven— your classroom door. Creative Halloween classroom door decorations are an easy way to make a statement. A trip to Dollar Tree can provide you with simple materials like black poster board, white paper, and hole punch to create a haunted house or a black cat theme. You can also just use some white [paper and a sharpie to make ghosts! Don’t forget to add a decorative Halloween banner to welcome the kiddos in style!
Who said bulletin boards are only for lesson plans and notices? Transform yours into a witch’s brew filled with different sayings, spells, or even a Halloween trick. Grab some yellow craft paper for the cauldron and use white streamers for the potion’s smoke. Black letters can spell out “Happy Halloween” or another Halloween theme of your choice.

Spider webs are an excellent way to add a spooky look to your classroom walls. All you need are some black pipe cleaners and a bit of time. Create spider webs in corners or even hanging from the ceiling. If you’re feeling extra creative, add a giant spider using large googly eyes and black construction paper.
Creating an invasion of bats is another great way to ramp up the Halloween spirit. Cut bats out of black paper, and use a white marker to add eyes. Hang them from the ceiling (just remove them before the fire marshall slides in) or stick them to the walls for an eerie, 3D effect.
