Free Printable Halloween Activities for Kids
This printable includes four 4×4 Halloween Sudoku puzzles, each using four different picture symbols.
Kids look at the pictures already placed in the grid and figure out which picture belongs in each empty square.
The rule is simple:
π Each picture appears only once in every row.
π» Each picture appears only once in every column.
𧩠Each picture appears only once in every 2×2 box.
The picture choices shown beneath each puzzle help kids remember which four symbols belong in that Sudoku.
How to Play Halloween Picture Sudoku
Start with one puzzle and look carefully at the pictures already in the grid.
Choose an empty square and check its row, column and 2×2 box.
Think about which Halloween picture is missing, then draw that picture in the empty square.
Continue until every space is filled.
π Look at the pictures already in each row.
π§ Check which picture is missing.
βοΈ Draw the missing picture in the empty square.
π Make sure each picture appears only once in every row, column and 2×2 box.

Make Picture Sudoku Easier for Younger Kids
Start with one puzzle at a time instead of asking children to complete all four.
Encourage kids to look for a row, column or 2×2 box that already contains three different pictures. The fourth picture is often easier to figure out from there.
If a child gets stuck, ask:
Which picture is missing from this row?
Then check the column and box to see whether that picture can go in the empty square.
Kids can also lightly sketch their answer first and darken it once they are sure.
