How to write Halloween in cursive
- Start with a capital H (curve forward, slant; curve back, slant, undercurve, curve right). Stroke 1: start at the topline, curve forward and slant down to the baseline.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the w, write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- After the word, add the second stroke of the H.

Halloween questions
How many strokes does it take to write Halloween in cursive?
2 strokes: one continuous stroke for the letters, then add the second stroke of the H. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in Halloween are joined at the midline?
The o, w. These letters end with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "Halloween" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Halloween capitalized in cursive?
Yes. "Halloween" is a proper noun and takes a capital letter wherever it appears.
Is Halloween an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (h, a, l, o, w, e, n) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "Halloween" a good early practice word.
