Halloween Face Activities for Young English Learners

 This resource is also included here:  https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Face-Unit-for-Elementary-English-Language-Learners-10106986

 

Focus on the face of Halloween characters. It connects the Holiday with essential vocabulary practice.

The Halloween Flashcards help introduce the characters and reinforce vocabulary like eyes, mouth, teeth, hair, and nose.

Labeling activities encourage active language use, helping students connect written words to visual features.

 

 Use the small cards to play: Who Am I? Guessing Game. One student picks a card and describes the face (He doesn’t have hair)

Classmates: Mummy!

Students pick a small card and make a simple sentence. Motivate them to create a text.

  By labeling parts of a Halloween face of the small cards, students practice reading, writing, and vocabulary recall in a meaningful way.

Worksheets give students extra practice recognizing, labeling, and describing face parts.

Label the Face worksheet. Students look at Halloween character faces and write the words (eyes, mouth, nose, teeth, hair) on the blank spaces. Then, they can color the parts of the face. Later, they write a short text describing the face. This helps students build simple descriptive sentences.

Read, draw, color worksheet, Students complete the Halloween face on each character.

Read the phrases to draw and color. Students read and color according to the sentences.

Complete the Sentences worksheets.

Students read simple sentences describing the face of a Halloween character and color according to the text.

Students look at the five Halloween characters (witch, vampire, mummy, Frankenstein, devil) and complete each face by drawing the missing parts (eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, hair). After finishing the drawings, they color each part according to their choice.

Then, students answer simple questions about the faces they completed.

Give students a chance to apply descriptive language to their own drawings writing their own texts to expand the worksheet.

Face unit and the Numbers 1 to 20

 This resource is also included here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-120-and-Describing-Hair-ESL-Flashcards-Games-and-Worksheets-for-ELLs-13578003

Learners better retain language when words are used in context rather than isolation. Repetition is key for ELLs, and integrating numbers with the face unit allows for natural repetition of both sets of vocabulary through games and activities.

The children with a number flashcards integrate Multiple Vocabulary Areas.  Students learn and review both numbers (1–20) and descriptive face vocabulary (e.g., curly, short, brown hair).

It can promote sentence building: “The boy with 10 has short, curly, black hair.”

Describing people on the cards encourages oral production. Have the students sort the flashcards by hair color.

Teacher: Who has blond hair?

Students: Number 8 and 15 have blond hair. 

Another sorting activity is according to the hair length: long or short.

Children see diverse appearances represented, which builds self-esteem and social-emotional learning. This time students can sort the hair into curly and straight.

Students: Number 5 has straight hair. Number 13 has curly hair.

The small cards are the perfect size for hands-on activities, individual use, or small group games. The same sorting activities can be done in on their tables. They can write their own sorting criteria.

Just like this:

If you have the small cards from the resource, use them to sort by hair color.

Sentence Building Activities can be done as they sort the cards.

Students: Number 17 has long hair. Number 14 has short hair.

take a look!

The small cards are used as an easy to repeat practice with more sorting, such as curly and straight.

Practicing same vocabulary using different adjectives at the same time: Number 18 has short, straight and brown hair.

Worksheets help reinforce the numbers vocabulary, it can me matching the numeral to the word or just write the teen number words.

The worksheets provide structured repetition, which is essential for language retention. This is a read and color practice. Focus: Listening or reading comprehension

ELLs gain confidence when they can complete tasks on their own, even simple ones. This is the face labeling review.

Worksheets engage students in reading and writing sentences.

Teachers can use worksheets to check understanding of vocabulary and concepts taught.

Students cut out the picture and glue them on the correct section of the sorting worksheets. There is also long and short.

Board games create a low-pressure environment for practicing English. Students use target vocabulary and sentence structures repeatedly while having fun: “This is number 15. She has long, straight blond hair.”

Play Guess Who? Using the mats.

Player 1 picks a number from the mat.  

Player 2 has to guess which card it is: Is it a girl?

Player 1: Yes, it is.

Player 2: Does she have long or short hair?

Player 1: Long hair.

Player 2: Is the hair brown and long?

Player 1: yes, it is.

Player 2: Is it Number 19?

Player 1: yes, it is.
