Halloween Games?
 

Hi! Does anybody have an idea for a halloween game or activity for a small class of ESL students? (5 to 10 students)
I know there is a bingo game I found in this site, but what else could I use? Any bingo songs or stuff like that?
Thank you!!!:)

what about writing a scary story ? You may give them the beginning of a story, introduce a few characters, and ask the students to write the story like this: Each person draws a picture of a person,describe and name the character and begin the story. Then they pass their sheet to another group who have to continue the story and so on... I have done it a couple of times and it is fun!

I play "Pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern" to reinforce the vocabulary up, down, move left, move right, move forward. One student is blind folded and another student has to help them place the "nose" on the pumpkin by orally giving them directions.

Zombie Killer

Materials:
Zombies
Suction cup balls - or sticky balls
whiteboard or blackboard
Quiz materials

Make a few (maybe a dozen) printouts of zombies of varying sizes. Laminate them, and put magnets on the back.
In class:
Split the class into teams.
Put the zombies at the top of the whiteboard.
Draw a "base" for each team at the bottom of the board.
Ask the students a question, or show them a flashcard, or whatever quiz method you like.
After each question, move the zombies towards the bases.
The correct answer gets a sticky ball to defend their base. Have them throw the ball. If they hit the zombie it goes back to the top of the board.
If a zombie hits the base, they are dead.
