Halloween is a great, fun event for your ESL students to get away from their text books. In this post, I have a fun game that will save you time and add to any lesson ideas that you have already planned.
Trick or treat is a very simple activity to set up and is always enjoyed by my students. I have prepared two versions of this game; one for young learners and another for teens.
Activity Time: 15 mins +
Materials required: A bag/box, a copy of the printable and some candy.
Level: Young learners and teens.
Printable: Young learners and Teens
Materials required: A bag/box, a copy of the printable and some candy.
Level: Young learners and teens.
Printable: Young learners and Teens
Method
1. Print out a copy of the young learners sheet or the teen sheet and cut out the cards.
2. Put the cards into a bag or box.
3. Students pick a card from the box/bag. If they pick a treat, they get candy. If they get a trick card they have to answer a question or challenge to get a treat. The card is given to another student to ask the question and the answer to difficult questions are written on the card. There are a total of 9 treat cards and 18 trick cards.
