Halloween - English Language Teaching tips and ideas

               Teaching 
                     English 
                               and Halloween







 Some ideas I have found online..................  Thanks to the  web we can find plenty of resources online ranging from videos to  stories and activities.
I was online some weeks ago and  I could follow  some interesting teaching ideas about  the topic  Halloween.  Shelly Terrell provided me with interesting  weblinks.
It is true that this is a typical American celebration . However, it has become international and most of my students do go to Halloween parties in Italy too. In most supermarkets we will find sweets and decorations for the scariest night of the year. 
While I was walking in town yesterday, I could see some shop windows and also in most schools we have children talking about  Halloween.

 



I found some nice  videos which I am going to use  with students in my classes. They will provide  some material for
 " thinking, listening and reporting" in English. 

I might use some tools like edupuzzle  https://edpuzzle.com/   for checking what they have understood.
