Halloween Activity – Logic Puzzle for Halloween Centers or Early Finishers

A printable Halloween logic puzzle for grades 4 through 9. Students work through 12 clues to determine each child’s first name, last name and costume.

It keeps students occupied and asks for more than coloring or routine practice. They organize information, eliminate impossible choices and use deductive reasoning to solve a three-category logic grid. There is no prep, which helps on the unpredictable days around Halloween.
