Halloween Coding Activities for Creating Your Own Halloween Game

For Halloween, your students can express their creative sides by making a fun Halloween coding game from one of our Halloween coding activity templates. They’ll follow step-by-step instructions to create a personalized Halloween-themed game that they can share with their parents and friends. We have tutorials for beginnerintermediate, advanced, and expert coders.

This tutorial has some of the game already built and students will need to add their own assets and finish the rest of the Halloween Tynker coding. They’ll add eyes, noses, ears, and mouths for their custom jack-o-lantern.
