Putting the food words into Halloween
flashcards makes it fun to connect with everyday food terms. Make puzzles
out of the flashcards to reinforce vocabulary recognition. Encourage speaking
practice as students say the food item they found.: “I have a
hamburger.”
Arrange the Halloween food flashcards face-up on a desk or wall — this is the “Halloween Food Stand.” One student is the “shopkeeper,” the other is the “customer.” Print the sign to add make it fun.The customer student looks at the flashcards and says:
“I want a hot dog, please.”
The shopkeeper student finds the card and
says:
“Here you are.”
The customer student replies:
“Thank you.”
Students can make even more short dialogues.
Give a
small group of students a set of small cards. Each one picks a
card and writes a sentence starting with:
o
I like… (e.g., I
like ice cream and soda.)
o
I want… (e.g., I
want a hot dog.)
Have them share their sentences with the group.
Turn it into a group survey: students ask each other “Do you like…?” or “Do
you want…?” and
record answers.
Character Favorites. Students pick one Halloween character card and one food card. They make a sentence:
“Frankenstein likes pancakes.”
Find two vocabulary worksheets: Crossword Puzzle: Students use picture clues to fill in the words for different Halloween food items. Word-to-Picture Match: Students draw a line from each food word to its matching picture. It will reinforce Spelling. Then, Use the words in a mini spelling contest.
You can send the worksheets home for extra vocabulary practice.
There are grammar practice worksheets as “What do you want and “Do you like?More grammar worksheets to build Sentence Structure.
Cut-and-fold matching worksheet to review vocabulary. Students name each food item on the worksheet. They cut out each food item and its word, fold them in half, and place them on a table. Cards can be used for matching games, speaking activities, or sorting tasks.
