Halloween Candy Corn Friends Readers
Present the book to the students, tell them that it is about Candy Corn Friends. Many students have not seen a candy corn. They don´t know what it is. Explain that it is a candy used in Halloween.
Read aloud the book for them.  Read using different voices for each Candy Corn. Such as a stronger voice for Frank and a different one for the witch.  After reading discuss the book. Ask them questions about the characters.
Teacher: What color is Frank ?
Students: He is green.

For introducing the story use the puppets. Show them the characters of the book before reading.  And you can use them after reading for the students to create their own story to present to the class. I made mine by gluing a craft stick but you can use a glove, felt anything to create wonderful puppets.

 crowns can work for retelling the story or for role play
 Recounting the story is a skill to grow. Retelling using props helps the students comprehend the story. You can read and have the students come to the front one by one as you mention them  with their crown.

Halloween vocabulary practice

Here is an interesting part, an interactive book.  A little cutting, gluing and putting together their book.

I made mine using a book ring.

Halloween Board Game for Vocabulary Practice

The board game has the characters. I made them stand using a clip.

Students move around the board while reviewing Halloween vocabulary and practicing beginning sounds and letter recognition. 

And then students can play in small groups.  This a simple board game that doesn't take a lot of time to play.

And there´s another version where the students have to say a word with each letter of Halloween. Teach the rule that when a player lands on an H, a word starting with letter h must be said in order to stay in that place, if not, the student  has to stay where he/she was before.

Pocket Chart Sentence Building Activities

Pocket charts provide a hands-on way for students to create sentences, sort vocabulary, sequence story events, and practice reading skills.

Pocket charts are also a good way to play in small groups making the sentences. I only have this little red pocket chart. I thought that didn´t have a place in the English language Teaching, but I started doing things and they are quite useful. Besides making sentences, students can sort the Halloween Characters by color. You can use them to create the sequence of the story book. Place all the characters in alphabetical order.

Candy Corn Friends Coloring Book

Students color the Candy Corn Friends while reviewing colors, following directions, and expressing creativity through Halloween-themed activities.

And finally, make a coloring book to take home. By coloring in class, it helps to prepare students more structured lessons in the years to come. Coloring the Candy Corn characters  will motivate the students to appreciate the difference between the characters. They can come with imaginative ways to color their Candy Corn friends.
