Room on the Broom Activities for Kids

As Halloween approached we thought it might be fun to add a little witch and potions fun to our preschool activities at The Educators’ Spin On It!  One of my favorite books about witches is called Room on the Broom by Julie Donaldson. 

You might remember her name from our popular Gruffalo activities that featured her book The Gruffalo.

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson

This best selling book from Julia Donaldson invites your child into the world of a witch and her cat happily flying through the sky on a broomstick. Then the wind picks up and blows away the witch’s hat, then her bow, and then her wand! Three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom. But is there room on the broom for so many friends?

You can print out activities to go along with this book on her website Room on the Broom . The Room on the Broom finger puppets are my favorite!

2. While your little witch is covering their eyes with a witches hat “fly around the room on your broom” and hide the letters of the alphabet.

For little ones I would start with just a handful of letters to teach them how to play.  You could even start with the letters in their name.

To make the game more challenging you could find items for them to hide the letters by that match the letters that they have in their witches cauldron.  There are a few ways to spin this Witch Themed Alphabet Game!

For older kids you could expand to look for their sight words or spelling words.

3. Now it’s time for them to uncover their eyes and search around the house with their witches cauldron for all of the hidden letters of the alphabet.  As they find each letter encourage them to shout out the name of the letter and the sound of the letter.  It’s a great way to start learning to be confident in their literacy skills.

4. Bring all the letters back in the witches cauldron and encourage them to match them to our Witches Alphabet Printable.
