Want a fun way to sneak in some Halloween math into the holiday’s festivities? These three Halloween math activities using pumpkin rocks are sure to please.
We have so much fun with Halloween here at Kids Activities Blog! Our Halloween Math games are a hit, year after year!
These painted pumpkin stones are super cute.
Painting Your Pumpkin Rocks
We recently turned some of our rock collection into pumpkin rocks. The pumpkin rocks are a super easy Halloween craft all on their own. Use them in some math games for an added bonus.
Supplies Needed For Painted Rocks:
Materials:
- Orange Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brush
- Black Acrylic Paint
- Black Paint Marker (optional)
This craft is easy enough. All you have to do is paint your rocks orange and either use a brush or paint marker and make a face.
You don’t have to just make pumpkins either. You can make ghosts or even monster rocks like Frankenstein!
Halloween Math Games: Counting Pumpkins with Number Squares
This is a super cute Halloween math game that helps your little one learn to count. Also, by putting numbers on the back of the rocks, this game could also double as a number memory game.
A two-in-one math game! Sounds like a win-win to me!

How To Play This Halloween Math Game
Place the pumpkin rocks on the numbered squares.
Count the pumpkins as you place them on the squares. Count the pumpkins as you take them off of the squares.
Optional Gameplay:
Once your little one feels comfortable with counting and recognizes the numbers, this game can be turned into multiple Halloween math activities.
Your little one can flip the rocks over and start matching up the numbers on the rocks to the corresponding number on the cards.
You can even make it a little harder and ask them to only place even numbers, odd numbers, by 2’s, by 3’s, etc.

Learning numbers, sight words, and working on memory skills with these fun Halloween math activities.
How to Play This Halloween Math Game
Draw a card. Place the correct number of pumpkins on the card.
Other Ways to Play with Halloween Math for Older Kids:
- You can practice higher numbers by having each rock represent a certain value. (Example: Have a card labeled 50. Each rock represents 10. You would place 5 rocks on the card to equal 50.)
- Use even numbers, and practice counting by two’s.
- Combine cards to practice addition or subtraction. (Example Card 5 + Card 1 = ?. Place the correct number of rocks on each card. Then solve the problem and choose the correct card.)
