Are you looking to create some cute Halloween bulletin boards for your classroom this year? Then you’re in the right place! Check out this complete round-up of the best Halloween bulletin boards for elementary.
Decorating your bulletin boards for each season is one of the best things about having your own classroom. But as a teacher myself, I know it can be hard to find ideas that are both cute and easy to make.
In this post, you will find so many super cute Halloween bulletin boards that you can recreate in your own elementary classroom. And they won’t take forever to do either!
This post is all about Halloween bulletin boards.
The Best Halloween Bulletin Boards:
Personally, I love a bulletin board that you can put up and leave all year round. But there’s something so special about decorating your classroom for each season. The kids absolutely love it and it keeps your classroom looking so new and fresh. I used to have a small bulletin board outside my classroom door which I would update for each season.
But listen, I get it! I am a teacher too and I know how little time you have! That’s why for me a seasonal bulletin board has to be cute (obviously!) but not take hours to make. But I know some of you crafty teachers love creating amazing bulletin boards. So let’s split these Halloween bulletin board ideas into two sections: super quick ideas and ones that take a little more time. That way, everyone’s happy đŸ™‚
Easy Halloween Bulletin Boards:
1. An Editable Bulletin Board Kit
If you are wanting to create a super cute Halloween bulletin board but are really short on time, why not purchase a bulletin board kit? All the hard work is done for you – all you have to do is add your student’s names (sometimes not even that!), print, cut and stick it up!
I love this boho themed pumpkin one I made last year! The colors matched the rest of my classroom decor perfectly. And it wasn’t ‘in your face’ Halloween, if you know what I mean! I’ve added this to my Etsy shop so you can use it in your classroom too!
2. Halloween Posters
Using posters is one of the best ways to create an easy Halloween bulletin board. With no cutting required, all you have to do is print the posters and pin them up! I’ve done this before and it seriously looked so great! I’ve also shrunk down these posters and used them as Halloween door decor too. đŸ™‚
Check out these Halloween classroom posters on my Etsy shop.

Creative Halloween Bulletin Boards:
1. Trick or treat, smell my feet
This is such a cute Halloween bulletin board idea! Have your students bring in a (clean!) sock from home. Then peg it onto some string to create a washing line effect. Add your title lettering and you’re done! You could even have people guess who each sock belongs to!
2. Our school is fab-boo-lous
Cut out some cute ghost outlines and stick them onto your bulletin board. Add the lettering and you’re good to go! You could even have your students decorate a ghost each to make this Halloween classroom display even more special!
3. Our little monsters
Cut out different monster characters out of colored paper to recreate this October bulletin board. You could even print off some monster outlines and have your students color them in or paint them.
4. We’re wrapped up in learning
I love a good pun for the title of my bulletin boards…and this one is great! Simply pin some party streamers all over your bulletin board to create a zombie effect! Add the title wording and that’s it! What’s great about this idea is that you don’t need to change the backing paper – just put the streamers over what you already have up!
5. Reading is spook-tacular!
If you are wanting to decorate your reading corner for Halloween, then why not try this reading theme bulletin board idea! I love the 3D element to this bulletin board design – how the book stands out from the board.
6. 3D ghosts
Use some white material to create these ghosts for your Halloween bulletin board.
7. Haunted house
Cut out a haunted house from black paper and add yellow paper squares for the windows. Add a tree, ghosts and pumpkins to complete the look!

9. Hocus Pocus…
Your kids will love this reference to Hocus Pocus (and so will your fellow teachers, aha!) Add a broomstick and some witches legs to really bring this bulletin board to life.
10. Chillin’ with my ghosties
This is an adorable idea! Have your students decorate a ghost to represent themselves. Or you could even stick a picture of each child’s face onto the ghosts!
11. Caught in a web of learning
Back you bulletin board in black paper and then use a white chalk marker to draw a web. Add some spider cut outs and you’re done!
12. Spooky vibes
How cute are these retro vintage pumpkins?!
13. Carve out time to read
Another cute one for your reading area! You could have the pumpkins reading all the books your class have read so far!
14. Funny bones
Have your students create a cute skeleton person to create this display. They could use white pencil or cotton buds.
15. Frankly we love ___ grade
Create this Frankenstein inspired October bulletin board. Again, why not turn into into a craft activity for your students? Give them the green face cut out and have them add the eyes and mouth!
16. Trick or treat, we’re so sweet!
Add some colorrful candy to create this super cute Halloween bulletin board. Why not print off some candy templates and have your students color one each.
17. Watching eyes
Create this spooky bulletin board in your classroom. Use black paper, cut out eyes in yellow card and add some orange tape/paper.
18. Caution, fang-tactic students
Have your students draw around their handprint on purple paper and cut it out. Next, stick on some eyes and cute fangs. Perfect!
