Use all time favorites - pumpkins, lanterns, web, and wreaths - as the basis of your decor. You can either DIY them or buy them at a dollar store. Add a black bat, cat, spider, or witch silhouettes.

Mix spooky with humor if you teach younger students. If you work with older groups, you can keep decorations simple and elegant.

2. Halloween Window Decor
