October 2026 Calendar & Worksheets

Here are free printable calendar worksheets for kids for the month of October 2026. Using a calendar worksheet is one way to help teach kids calendar skills.

There’s a worksheet for students in 1st grade, and another worksheet for 2nd graders.

The pumpkin themed worksheet uses the calendar for the month of October 2026. This allows kids to be able to answer questions related to the current date and season.

Many like to do some calendar time at the beginning of each day. Regardless of when you choose to work on it, it is meant to be worked on throughout the month and should only take a couple minutes each time.

Little by little, kids will be building up their skills of reading a calendar.

There are 20 calendar questions for each worksheet, which allows for 20 days of working on this important math skill.

How to Use the Calendar Worksheet

Each school day kids work with the calendar worksheet for October, kids will be asked to:

1. find the date on the calendar and draw an X in the box that represents the current day.
2. complete the calendar questions in one pumpkin

You can choose whether to have your child answer the calendar question orally, or write the answer on a separate lined sheet of paper.

Perhaps 1st graders would find it easier to answer out loud, and your second grader might be able to handle the challenge of writing the short answers on a paper.

3. After answering the daily question, kids can color in the pumpkins of questions they’ve answered.
