20 Halloween Costumes for Teachers

Are you looking for the perfect Halloween costume for teachers? Students just love it when their teachers come dressed up. It’s super fun to collaborate with your team and dress up together. I hope that these teacher costumes give you ideas that are fun and simple.

All of these costume ideas and pictures were shared by teachers in my Not So Wimpy Third Grade Facebook group.

Crayons

Teachers can’t go wrong dressed as crayons!

The best part is that this costume choice works well for teacher teams and even teams with male teachers.

This costume is perfect if you are dressing up as a book character. You can use the book The Day the Crayons Quit or Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Crayon shirts can be purchased HERE on Amazon.

Emojis

Our kids just love emojis. It’s almost like an alternative alphabet that can be used to describe all kinds of feelings!

These costumes are simple to make, perfect for large teams, and can be used for female and male teachers.

Expo Markers

It’s lots of fun to dress up as school supplies! How fun are these Expo markers?

Again, this idea is perfect for a team!

Pinkalicious and Friends

I love the Pinkalicious books! This is a good team costume idea for a female team. It is another great choice if you need to dress as a character from a book.

If You Give a….

…Mouse a Cookie

…Moose a Muffin

…Pig a Party

…Cat a Cupcake

Aren’t these fun book characters for a teacher team to dress up as for Halloween?!

Koo Koo Kanga Roo

My third graders loved Koo Koo Kanga Roo songs on Go Noodle! These costumes would be a hit for sure. (But I would probably be singing Pop See Ko all day.🤣)

Where’s Waldo

My teammate and I didn’t even plan this, but we both came dressed as Waldo/Wenda. It was perfect for our book character parade around the school. The kids loved it!

You can grab a simple Waldo costume HERE on Amazon.

Miss Nelson

This is a fun costume idea for you and your teacher bestie! It’s another great choice if you want to dress up as a book character.

Pac Man

This brings me back to my childhood for sure! This is a fun costume idea for a larger team and can accommodate male and female teachers. It would be a simple DIY costume with some t-shirts and felt.

Glue

Teachers are the glue that hold it all together, right? Plus, we are suckers for school supplies.

I love the tutus!

Running Records

Teachers are always hard at work keeping the running records up to date. The play on words is fun!

Other Ideas

• Dalmations (Would your principal go as Cruella?)
• Pete and Cat (The whole team can do different colored shoes.)
• Care Bears
• Minions
• M&Ms
• Super Heroes
• Different Idioms
• The Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a… (each person picks a different book)

Have lots of fun with your team and your students. We look forward to seeing your costumes in our teacher Facebook groups!

Have a Not So Wimpy day,
