Japanese Halloween Flashcards | 40 Vocabulary Words with Hiragana and Kanji | Kindergarten Flash Cards

Ribbit — ESL/EFL Worksheet Resource

This 30-page set teaches 40 Halloween-themed Japanese vocabulary words in two flashcard formats, giving young learners picture-word matching practice with romaji, hiragana, and kanji or katakana script. Pages 1–10 are fold-flap pocket flashcards: a picture sits on the front of each card, and folding the page down reveals the Japanese word on the back, printed in romaji (romanised pronunciation), hiragana, and kanji or katakana. Pages 11–30 present the same 40 words again as large single-sided display cards (two per page) showing the picture with the word in katakana and hiragana, sized for a word wall or a matching/memory game. The 40 words mix familiar Western Halloween icons — ghost, witch, pumpkin, skeleton, bat, spider, black cat, vampire, zombie, mummy, and jack-o'-lantern — with Japanese yokai and folklore terms such as ryuu (dragon), hitodama (fireball spirit), chouchin obake (lantern ghost), and zashiki warashi, adding genuine cultural vocabulary beyond a direct English-to-Japanese word list.
