Solo Teacher Halloween Costumes

1. Wilson from Home Improvement

Teacher Halloween costumes can be from popular tv shows like this one. A boy wears a fishing hat and a plaid shirt and is holding a fence made from popsicle sticks in front of his face.
Mrs. Orman’s Classroom/Wilson via traceeorman.com

This one is a definite throwback, but we think a lot of kids have probably seen the reruns of this show. It is just too clever not to include on a list of teacher Halloween costumes.

Here’s how to get the look:

2. Pumpkin π

A woman is shown wearing an orange shirt with a green collar to look like a pumpkin. The mathematical symbol pie is on the shirt.

This one is for all those math teachers out there and maybe for the ELA teachers too since they love a good pun.

Here’s how to get the look:

3. Ceiling Fan

A woman is seen wearing a white shirt that says Go Ceiling Go on it and holding pom poms in this funny teacher Halloween costumes idea.
Instructables/Ceiling Fan via instructables.com

Speaking of puns, this costume is so simple but so funny. See which of your students pick up on it the fastest!

Here’s how to get the look:

4. Fork in the Road

A woman is shown wearing all black with yellow lines down her shirt and pants to look like a road. A fork is stuck in the yellow lines.
Mrs. Orman’s Classroom/Fork in the Road via traceeorman.com

This costume pairs perfectly with a lesson on metaphors! We especially love that all it takes to recreate are some black clothes, yellow duct tape, and a fork, of course!

Here’s how to get the look:

5. Smartie Pants

Teacher Halloween costumes can be simple like this one in which a woman is shown wearing a white collared shirt, glasses, and pants with smartie candies taped onto them.
Crumb Kisses/10 Last-Minute Halloween Costumes via crumbkisses.com

Teacher Halloween costumes that can be pulled together last minute are a must since a teacher’s life is a busy one. Grab a bag of Smarties and tape them to your pants for what we think is a hilarious costume!

Here’s how to get the look:

6. Miss Havisham

Teacher halloween costumes can be literary like the old woman shown here in a wedding dress who is supposed to be Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.
Instructables/Miss Havisham via instructables.com

If you are a high school English teacher, this is the costume for you! Great Expectations is certainly a classic, and Miss Havisham might be the most memorable character from the novel.

Here’s how to get the look:

7. Waiting … waiting …

A woman is dressed as a skeleton and holding a frame around her face that says "teachers be like 'I'm just gonna wait til it's quiet.'"

Talk about relatable! This costume idea is funny while also driving home a point to your (sometimes) chatty students.

Here’s how to get the look:

8. Popcorn Party

A teacher is dressed as popcorn and is standing in front of a shelf of buckets of popcorn.

This costume is just so cute! We especially love the way the teacher here has incorporated the popcorn theme into her reading nook.

Teacher Halloween Costumes for Duos and Trios

9. Napoleon and Pedro

One character has brown hair and glasses and a white shirt that says vote for pedro. The other character has a western themed shirt on and a fake moustache.
People/Napoleon Dynamite via people.com

Some teacher Halloween costumes like this one may appeal more to your fellow teachers than your students since they hearken back to an old-school movie. It really couldn’t be easier to pull off this dynamic duo! We subbed in a blue shirt for Pedro (another one of his iconic looks from the film), but really any button-up will do.

Here’s how to get the look:

10. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore

Three women are dressed up as Alvin, Simon, and Theodore in a blue sweatshirt, a red sweatshirt with a yellow A, and a green sweatshirt.
lifewithmrswasick/Alvin, Simon, Theodore via Instagram

Caution: Whoever picks Alvin as their costume will probably hear it screamed at them more than once throughout the day. Otherwise, this costume is totally easy to put together!

Here’s how to get the look:

11. Slinky Dog

Gutsy Feeling/Slinky Dog Costume via gutsyfeeling.com

To recreate this look, just wear all brown, have one person don dog ears, and put some curly metal wire between you and your buddy for a perfect slinky pup.

Here’s how to get the look:

12. Cruella de Vil and Dalmatians

Three women are shown. The two on the outsides are dressed as dalmations. The one in the middle is dressed as Cruella Deville.

If you wanted, you could gather 101 of your teacher besties to join in! On top of DIY supplies, we found some ready-to-wear Dalmatian shirts, ears, and a Cruella you can pop on instead.

Here’s how to get the look:

13. Rock, Paper, Scissors

Three women are dressed as a rock, a piece of paper, and scissors.

14. A Wearable History Lesson

Teacher Halloween costumes include this one which shows a man dressed as Uncle Sam and wearing a tall hat. He is standing behind a poster that says I want you. A woman is shown with her hair in a red and white polka dot bandana making a muscle with her arm. She is standing in front of a poster that says We Can Do It.
ESC Region 11 Social Studies/Costumes via Facebook

This one is perfect for the history department. Get yourself a recognizable hat and headscarf to bring good old Uncle Sam and Rosie the Riveter to life. Finally, get to work on those famous posters.

Here’s how to get the look:

15. Dominoes

Two women are dressed as dominoes.
Mom’s Kitchen Cool/Dominoes via Pinterest

17. Best Friend Necklace

Two women have large pink hearts around them. Each heart fits into the other and is meant to be the sides of a friendship necklace.
jamierose23/Best Friends Necklace Costume via Instagram

You probably had one of those “best friend” heart necklaces as a child, right? Pretty much any color of construction paper will do, but we went for old-school nostalgia with a gold-and-silver theme for our product picks.

Here’s how to get the look:

18. Field Trip Survivors

Field Trip Survivors as an example of Teacher Halloween costumes
typeainprek/Happy Halloween via Instagram

So easy to put together with a simple poster-board sign—and you can mix things up by basing it off whatever your most recent school field trip was. These ladies seem to have survived a visit to the local pumpkin patch. Did you go to a museum recently instead? Try ripping up a cheap print of famous artwork that was on display for another fun spin (and then maybe reprinting some to hang up in class).

Here’s how to get the look:

19. Hippie Teachers

Teacher Halloween costumes include two women shown dressed in tie dye shirts, flower crowns, and sunglasses
Cmsheppard/flower children via Pinterest

Know anyone who’s stashed away some old 1970’s duds? This group costume is the perfect time to show them off! If not, there are a couple of other options we found for embracing your inner hippie.

Here’s how to get the look:

Here’s how to get the look:

21. Hocus Pocus

Teacher Halloween costumes based on Halloween movies like Hocus Pocus are perfect. Three women dressed as three different witches in elaborate costumes are shown.
linzhinzstudio/Sanderson Sisters via Instagram

Hocus Pocus has become a classic Halloween movie in the last few decades, and the recent sequel has introduced it to younger audiences too. We can think of many costumes more fun than dressing as the hilarious Sanderson sisters!

Here’s how to get the look:

24. Crayola Crayon Box

About a dozen people are wearing different colored pointy hats and different colored shirts. They are all standing inside a huge yellow box that says Crayola Crayons 12.

We just love teacher Halloween costumes that look like they belong in their students’ backpacks. This super-easy costume idea works well for bigger groups, and you really only need some primary-color T-shirts and party hats. It will help to have someone crafty to create the lettering and big box.

Here’s how to get the look:

27. Mother Nature and the Four Seasons

A woman in the middle is wearing a green dress with a sign that says mother nature. A woman dressed as winter and another dressed as spring are standing to her left. A woman to the right is dressed as summer and another woman to her right is dressed as fall.
