Color the Halloween Adjectives worksheet with fun, spooky words and festive illustrations.

Let’s go through the task step by step.

The instruction says:
> Color any shape that has an adjective in it yellow. Color the other shapes any color you like.

So we need to find which words are adjectives — these are describing words (like “spooky,” “dark,” “funny”).

First, let’s list all the words shown in the image and decide if they’re adjectives or not:

Words visible:
- haunted → ✔ adjective (describes something scary or ghostly)
- ghost → ✘ noun (a thing, not a description)
- spooky → ✔ adjective
- candy → ✘ noun (a thing)
- broom → ✘ noun (a thing)
- scary → ✔ adjective
- dark → ✔ adjective
- witch → ✘ noun (a person/character)
- treat → ✘ noun (something given)
- moon → ✘ noun (a celestial body)
- cat → ✘ noun (an animal)
- fun → ✔ adjective (can describe something enjoyable)
- cool → ✔ adjective
- happy → ✔ adjective
- black → ✔ adjective (color = description)
- foggy → ✔ adjective (describes weather or atmosphere)
- trick → ✘ noun (as in “trick or treat”)
- mask → ✘ noun (a thing)

Now, look at the big circle on the left side of the page — it already contains some words:
“haunted”, “spooky”, “scary”, “dark” — all of these are adjectives! So that circle is correctly marked as needing to be colored yellow.

But wait — there are MORE shapes with adjectives outside that circle!

For example:
- The pumpkin has “fun”, “dark”, “happy”, “cool” inside it → all adjectives → should be colored yellow.
- The cat has “cool” and “moon” — only “cool” is an adjective → so part of the cat might qualify? But since the whole shape (cat) contains at least one adjective (“cool”), according to the rule “any shape that has an adjective in it”, then YES — color the whole cat yellow.
- Leaves have “foggy”, “treat”, “candy”, “bat”, “black”, “mask”, etc. — only “foggy” and “black” are adjectives → so those leaf shapes should be colored yellow.
- Bats have “trick”, “bat”, “fun”, “treat” — “fun” is an adjective → color those bat shapes yellow.
- Other items: “witch”, “ghost”, “broom”, “candy”, “treat”, “moon”, “cat”, “mask” — unless they contain an adjective word inside them, don’t color yellow.

Actually, re-read the rule carefully:
> “Color any shape that has an adjective in it yellow.”

That means: if even ONE word inside a shape is an adjective → color the ENTIRE shape yellow.

So let’s group by shape:

1. Big circle on left → contains “haunted”, “spooky”, “scary”, “dark” → all adjectives → COLOR YELLOW.
2. Pumpkin → contains “fun”, “dark”, “happy”, “cool” → all adjectives → COLOR YELLOW.
3. Cat → contains “cool”, “moon” → “cool” is adjective → COLOR YELLOW.
4. Bat near top right → contains “trick”, “bat” → no adjective → DO NOT color yellow (unless another bat has one).
5. Bat near bottom center → contains “fun”, “treat” → “fun” is adjective → COLOR YELLOW.
6. Leaf near bottom left → contains “foggy”, “candy” → “foggy” is adjective → COLOR YELLOW.
7. Leaf near bottom center → contains “black”, “mask” → “black” is adjective → COLOR YELLOW.
8. Another leaf → “foggy”, “treat”, “candy” → “foggy” is adjective → COLOR YELLOW.
9. Small bat near bottom → “bat”, “candy” → no adjective → skip.
10. Mask → just “mask” → noun → skip.
11. Witch → just “witch” → noun → skip.
12. Ghost → just “ghost” → noun → skip.
13. Broom → just “broom” → noun → skip.
14. Candy pieces → mostly say “candy” or “treat” → nouns → skip.
15. Moon behind cat → says “moon” → noun → but wait — does the moon shape contain any adjective? Looking again — the moon near the cat has “moon” written twice — both nouns → so do NOT color yellow.
- BUT — the moon near the pumpkin? It says “moon” — still noun → skip.
- Wait — actually, looking closely, some moons may have “cool”? No — in the image, the cat has “cool” written on its body, not on the moon.

Also note: “dark” appears in multiple places — once in the big circle, once in the pumpkin — both count.

Final list of shapes to color YELLOW:
- The large circle on the left (already outlined)
- The pumpkin
- The cat
- The bat with “fun” in it (bottom center)
- The leaf with “foggy” (bottom left)
- The leaf with “black” (bottom center)
- The leaf with “foggy” again (another one nearby)

All other shapes can be colored any color you like.

✔ Final Answer:
Color yellow: the big circle on the left, the pumpkin, the cat, the bat with “fun”, and the leaves containing “foggy” or “black”. All other shapes can be any color.
