Free Halloween Homework Passes to Treat Your Students

Halloween is such a fun day for kids. I love to treat my students with a night off from homework. You can do the same with this free Halloween Homework pass. You will win major cool points with your class and all you have to do is print and cut!

A few years ago, my mom asked me to make some homework passes for her students.  This was at the very start of my TpT days.  Let’s just say that homework pass was so u-g-l-y that I HAD to remake it.  This new one is so much better. ?

With this homework pass – assign your students homework!  ALL day long, make them think they have homework.

Just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean you get the night off!  Be sure to get your homework done before you go out tonight!

Then, at the very last minute, pass out the homework pass to your students.

Or attach it to their homework page so they don’t see it until they get home!  Surprise!

The homework was the trick, this pass it the treat!  Get it?  Trick-or-treat!

It’s always been a big hit with the students!

I wish I could say I came up with that one, but the credit goes to my mom.  She’s a clever one, I tell ya.

Click here to download the trick-or-treat Halloween homework passes for free!

Stephanie...love the saying! I pinned it to my Halloween board and will attach pencils to them for my students. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Glad you like them :)

Stephanie, you share my feelings about candy in the classroom. I really do love your blog (I just added your button to my right column). If you would ever like to do a guest post, please let me know...I'd be honored! Betsy Weigle

Love them! You made me V-Day passes last year!!! ;) So cute!!!

Thanks!! These are really cute, and that little perk for being a Facebook follower make them even cuter :) Shar W [email protected]

I love this idea - simple cheap and effective. Sue SOS-Supply www.sos-supply.blogspot.co.uk

Love this idea, Steph! I just "followed" you on FB. How funny that we are FB friends and I wasn't following you?? I'm not the best about following pages. Thanks for these! Awesome! Elizabeth Fun in Room 4B

Very cute!!

Great idea!!

We were required to do standards based activities for our Halloween activities last year. We had just finished reading "Charlotte's Web", so I put together a Literacy Cafe with several activities: A game (found online) that involved coordinate graphing and featured Charlotte and Wilbur, an activity where students researched the different parts of a spider and labeled a drawing with the various part names, a poetry activity where students found words (like Templeton) and glued them to construction paper to make poems, and the standard spider making out of Ritz Crackers (only I had peanut butter allergies, so I used cream cheese instead to stick the 2 Ritz Crackers together - we used whole wheat crackers. the kids had a great time rotating through the stations. J. Tappan

please share pictures and details :)

Super-cute! Thanks! :)

Hi! thanks so much for this fabulous idea! I also buy the Wendy's frosty coupons and now McDonald's has coupons as well! This will be a nice addition to their goodie bags!! Since our state bans (I know, right?!) candy in classrooms (NJ! of course) I also give pencils and fun erasers! Thanks again for your generosity!! Love ya! Amy :)

Love the passes!

I am so using this, thanks! I'm linked up too, and am your newest follower! Learning With Mrs. Leeby

Free Printable Homework Pass Set for K-12 Teachers

Plus ideas for using them.

The homework pass just might be the most coveted of all school rewards. It’s easy for teachers too, since it doesn’t cost a thing. Make it even easier to hand out homework passes with our free printable set of two options, each in two styles. Just fill out the form on this page to grab them.

Homework can be a surprisingly controversial topic. While many assume it’s just a natural part of a child’s education, others feel that homework isn’t all it’s cracked up to be . As we seek to encourage a better work-life balance for adults, is it possible homework is sending the wrong message to kids ?

That being said, very few schools have banned homework altogether , and it does have its benefits. It’s especially useful in subjects like math and reading, where students profit from lots of skills practice. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to offer kids a break with no penalty, or at least the chance to postpone their assignment to a better night. That’s where the homework pass comes in.

Homework Pass Options

Our free printable homework passes come in two options, with styles for both elementary and middle/high school:

• No Homework: This pass allows kids to skip a homework assignment, with no penalty to their grade.
• One Day Late: This one gives them an extra day to turn in their work, which can be really helpful if they have a busy night of after-school activities or aren’t feeling well.

Most teachers put some limitations on their homework passes, specifying that they’re for certain assignments only. (You don’t want to give a student a free pass on a big project or paper.) Make sure you explain any restrictions when you hand yours out.

Some teachers give every student a certain number of passes to use each semester or year. Others use them as rewards or prizes for in-class competitions or quizzes.

Get Your Free Printable Homework Passes!

However you choose to use them, you can grab your free homework pass printable set by filling out this quick form.

Printable Homework Passes | Free Homework Pass Template

Teachers, if you want to make a few homework passes to hand out to a few hardworking students, please take a look at the printable homework pass templates I have drawn.

For best results, print the homework passes on sturdy construction paper. Then carefully cut them out with scissors or an x-acto knife. If you want to reuse the same passes multiple times, simply leave the “for” and “date” lines blank and laminate the pass.

Free Hall Pass Templates to Edit, Customize, and Print

Michele is a writer who has been published both locally and internationally.

Learn about our Editorial Policy .

Free editable templates for hall passes make every teacher's life easier with one less thing to create from scratch. From bathroom passes to standard hall passes, you can use these templates for your classroom , your entire grade, or the whole school. Click on the image of the hall pass you like best to download, customize, and print. If you need help using the printables, this handy guide is useful.

Visual Hall Pass Template

Just as you would use printable homework charts or free behavior charts with elementary students, you can use visual hall passes. Kids in grades pre-K through five can use these passes to let other teachers know why they're in the hallway without you. The passes feature hall pass clip art of these common destinations: girl's bathroom, boy's bathroom, nurse, library, office, and cafeteria.

• Free Sample Letters to Make Asking for Donations Easy
• Sample Invitation Letters for Special Events to Get You Started

Ways to Customize the Hall Passes

While these hall passes are simple, there are a few easy ways you can make them unique.

• Add your name to the top line in your favorite colored font.
• Add stickers or simple drawings to the destination images to make them fun such as adding a Santa hat to the boy's bathroom figure in December.
• Use actual photos of these locations in your school instead of the cartoon images.
• Cut out the passes and adhere them to funny objects such as a toy frying pan or action figure.

Basic Blank Hall Pass Template

Make your own hall passes for any specific need you have with a basic blank hall pass template. This design features a lined paper look and room for the teacher issuing the pass to sign and room for the teacher who receives the student to sign. These work great for round-trip hallway use in middle school.

Since the blank hall passes are completely editable, there are many ways you can customize them.

• Create a class bathroom pass by filling out the info in a generic way like saying "Forever" in the "date/time" spot then adhering the pass to the front of a notebook or roll of toilet paper.
• Draw funny stick cartoons in the margins to represent common destinations so you don't have to fill that in on a moment's notice.
• Add your electronic signature to all the passes before printing to make filling them out quicker.

Detailed Check Box Hall Pass Template

High school teachers are often in a bigger rush and teens have more possible locations to visit in the school. These bright orange hall passes signal to passing teachers that the student has permission to be in the hall and feature a convenient check box system for marking destinations.

• Fill in the year on every date line and add your electronic signature before printing to make filling them out easier.
• Create one page of passes for each student in your class(es) by adding their name to the "student name" line before printing. Keep them in alphabetical order in a binder.
• Once printed, pre-cut a portion of each pass so it's easier to tear off when you need it.

Ways to Create Your Own Hall Passes

If you pride yourself on originality and love craft projects, you can make your own cool hall passes featuring items related to the subject you teach or things your students love. Add printable hall passes to other items to make durable passes or create your own from scratch.

• Use blank raffle tickets as passes where you can easily jot down the necessary information.
• Help kids stay out of trouble as they walk down the hall by attaching your pass to a simple handheld toy like a fidget spinner or Rubik's Cube.
• Make classroom passes by customizing printable wine labels and sticking them to water bottles.
• Use a candy bar wrapper template to make custom passes on small candy bars students get to eat if they get to their destination on time.
• Customize and print free hall passes then slide them into name badge holders so kids can wear them instead of carrying them.
• Create a digital hall pass using Google Forms and a QR code that can track student movement using cell phones.

Give Kids a Pass

Hall passes are a great way for students and teachers to communicate with each other quickly and efficiently. Using a free hall pass template takes one task off your list as you prepare for a new school year.
