halloween games and activities
|
|
I work in an English course and all teachers must do something nice for Halloween, but something really fast because of the schedule. So, I need some ideas for fun activities and games that last at most 15 minutes. I also want ideas for my adult students.
I was thinking about give them a worksheet, tell a little about Halloween and make some games e activities. Give candies to the winners. Maybe a song. Peps, help me. Don�t know what to do.
Thanks in advanced.

I like to use a Japanese game called "Karuta." For Halloween I focus on the different characters/costumes (ghost, vampire, skeleton, etc.).
The game is this: make some cards with pictures of the characters (I use 12). Make enough for groups of 4 - 6 students. When you say "witch", they try to be the first to touch (slap) the witch card. If they can touch it first, they "get" the card.
However, they only get 1 touch, so if they touch the wrong card they cannot touch again.
I make them sit out the next time (1 time) if they touch the wrong card; this prevents them from just slapping quickly instead of listening.
Also, to increase the difficulty, I will sometimes say a wrong word ("Blue cat", instead of "Black cat"). This forces them to listen carefully.
Anyway, that is what we are playing this week and my JHS studenst love it.
