Let’s
jump into the Posters for each Family and introduce them using the words, Vampire,
Frankenstein, Ghost as their last name: This is Brother
Ghost.
And
introduce more family members: That’s Sister Ghost.
Teach
or review Halloween words like "house," "ghost," "tree,"
"bat," and more.
Have the students describe the family members using the Halloween Family posters. Example:
Family
Small Cards. Sort
them by family members and even make a Family Tree.
Play
Go-fish with the small cards. Print the set
of small cards. Ensure each family member is repeated at least 2-4 times,
depending on the number of players.
Deal 5cards to each player and the remaining
cards go in a draw pile in the center.
The
goal is to collect a complete Halloween family.
The
first player starts by asking another player for a specific card they need to
make a complete family. For example, "Do you have 'Father
Vampire'?"
If
the player being asked has the card, they must give it to the player who asked.
If
the player does not have the card, they say, "Go
Fish!" and the asking player must draw a card from
the draw pile.
If
a player makes a family, they place the cards face up in front of them and ends
the game as a winner.
Playing the game video:
Use the finger puppets for Role-Playing where students practice
conversations.
Print
the template and have the students color and cut the Halloween Family members. Tape
for securing the puppets to fingers
You can use the puppets for speaking like this.
Worksheets
are a good practice.
If
you want to do a writing activity, just have the learners describe the posters.
