Today class we will discuss halloween, how we celebrate it and where the tradition actually comes from.

  • Is Halloween an important day in your country? What does it mean to you?
  • How would you like to celebrate Halloween this year?
  • Do you like horror movies? Why or why not? If so, what’s your favorite scary movie?
  • Why do you think people love to feel scared?
  • Have you ever carved a jack-o-lantern? What do you think the origins of this tradition might be?

We will watch the first 5 minutes of this video about Jack o lanterns to learn its origins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrPeUtjr9Uw

Students will then discuss in pairs some halloween related discussion topics to practice interactive language.

And complete this short listening task:

We will then play a Halloween Trivia or a spooky MacroPhotography quiz to finish the class!
