Halloween is such a fun holiday for kids of all ages, not only for its spooky festivities but also because it's a great opportunity for parents to remind their kids that there is no need to fear for God is always with us. This world can be scary (not just on Halloween) so we need to equip our kids with truths that will sustain them through life's uncertain and scary moments, also to help our children know how to be a light in this world and shine bright for God.

This free Hocus Pocus-themed Halloween Bible reading countdown coloring poster is a perfect way to do just that!

Benefits for your family:

• Helps kids read their Bible everyday in a fun, exciting way

• Helps kids learn to trust in God

• Promotes creativity and self-expression

• Creates a fun and family-friendly Halloween activity

• Encourages kids to shine their light for God in a dark world

How to use:

• Read a Bible verse every day of October! At the bottom of the Halloween countdown there is a Bible verse to read for each day. Starting on October 1, read the assigned Bible verse. These verses will help encourage your kids throughout this spooky season.

• It’s a great coloring activity for your kids! Color the poster as you go. Each day after reading the assigned Bible verse, color a portion of the poster. Grab crayons, markers, or colored pencils and have at it. Your kids will have fun coloring the Hocus Pocus town of Salem. By October 31, your child will have been encouraged by 31 scriptures and have a finished poster fully colored.

• It’s free! You are welcome to download as many copies as you’d like for your personal use only. Just submit your email address in the form at the bottom of this post and you’ll be immediately directed to the download. You’re also welcome to print out copies of this countdown for your neighbors, your classroom or your friends. As long as you’re not selling it, we’d love for you to share and see it get used!

• Printing is a breeze! You can print this poster any size that works for you on your home printer; however, it is best sized as a 24x36 poster for large scale coloring and can be easily printed at your local print shop as an engineer print. I always print my posters at my local Office Depot as an engineering print or blueprint. For a black and white 24x36 poster like this one, it typically costs less than $5. Visit my instructions for printing blueprints with Office Depot.

Additional Tips for Parents:

By following these tips, you can help your kids have a fun and meaningful Halloween experience.

• Make it a family tradition. Gather your kids together each day to read the Bible passage and color in the poster together.

• Discuss the Bible passage with your kids. Ask them what it means to them and how they can apply it to their own lives.

• Use the poster as a springboard for talking about faith and God's love for your kids.

• Encourage your kids to be creative with their coloring. There are no rules when it comes to art!

Halloween is a great time to teach our kids about the truth in the Bible and how God is always with us. This free Hocus Pocus-themed Halloween Bible reading countdown coloring poster is a perfect way to do just that!
