At the time, the name of the celebration was called Samhain. Samhain was an event to celebrate the harvest and the start of winter. But it was also a time when people thought ghosts came out. People were very scared of ghosts. So, they dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off evil spirits. Later, when the Romans invaded the Celts, they realized their celebration for the dead was around the same time as Samhain. So, the Romans combined the two festivals, and that tradition became modern-day Halloween. When is Halloween? October 31st Who Celebrates Halloween? Everyone around the world! But it's especially popular in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Fun Facts About Halloween Famous magician Harry Houdini died on Halloween in 1926. Halloween is one of the most commercially successful holidays in North America. Americans purchase around 600 million pounds of candy each year for Halloween. Trick or Treating became part of American popular culture by 1951. Originally, Jack-o’-lanterns were carved from turnips instead of pumpkins.

If you’re looking for some fun ESL Halloween activities and game ideas, then you’re in the right place. We have all the top ideas, along with lesson plans, worksheets and more. Make Halloween this year extra special with these top picks for English learners. ------------------- • History of Halloween for Kids : https://youtu.be/kTJUeOAkj6o ------------------- • Check out my blog if you want to find more information about Halloween ESL Games, Activities, Lesson Plans & More https://eslspeaking.org/esl-halloween-games/ 63 ESL Holiday Games and Activities book: https://amzn.to/3S24V1m -------------------- https://www.facebook.com/eslspeaking https://www.pinterest.ca/eslspeaking/ https://www.instagram.com/jackie.bolen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@englishwithjackie?lang=en #esl #learningenglishwithjackie #halloweenactivities ------------------------------------------------------- Even more Ideas for the TEFL Classroom: https://eslspeaking.org/ -------------------------------------------------------- Transcript for Halloween ESL Activities and Games: Let's talk about my favourite ESL Halloween activities. The first activity you can do is a costume contest. Encourage your students to dress up, give a few prizes, and have some fun with it. That leads me to the second Halloween activity which is having a party. So there are a ton of games you can do, scary movies, music, food, snacks, that kind of thing if you're able to have a Halloween party. And get students to help you plan it, of course. The third one is trick-or-treating. This is a fun one to do if students can go from classroom to classroom and then in each classroom, they can collect a little treat or a piece of candy, something like that. The next one is a haunted classroom. Students can help you decorate your classroom and then other classrooms can participate as well. And then you can do kind of a little walk about, where students go from classroom to classroom, checking out the scary sights. The next Halloween activity is a scary story or a creepy story. If you tell students, tell me a scary story, it's not going to be a great activity to do. If someone told me to tell a scary story, in English, on the spot I maybe would struggle with it a little bit even though I speak English perfectly. If you give students a bit of time to prepare their story and they can write it down, the activity will go much more smoothly. The next one is a pumpkin carving contest. If you can get your hands on some pumpkins in the country that you're living in buy a few of them and then maybe put students in groups of three or four or five and they can come up with a decoration a pattern and then carve their pumpkin. Better yet, make it a contest. The next one is charades or Pictionary. If you teach students a bunch of Halloween vocabulary, consider playing charades or Pictionary to review that vocabulary. This is also a great activity for a Halloween party. The next one is what am I. So you maybe have played that little party game before where there's a Post-It note with a word or a person or an animal written on it and then you put it on your back. And then you have to ask yes or no questions to the other people at the party to find out who or what you are. You can do this with Halloween words as well. The next one is a candy-tasting contest. Bring in some blindfolds, and bring in some candies that are popular in the country where you live. The best ones I find are things like Skittles or M&Ms that are already just like a single piece. However, you can use chocolate bars and just kind of cut them up into little tiny pieces before you get to class. And then I divide the students up into teams, maybe like three or four different teams. And one student from each team comes and sits in a chair, puts on a blindfold and then they would each try three different candies. The next one is guessing the pumpkin weight. So buy a big pumpkin, bring it into class, and then students have to submit a guess as to how much it weighs. And then on the day before Halloween or on Halloween, I'll reveal the weight and the winner. Okay, so those are my top 10 ESL Halloween activities.

Have you ever wondered why a person says "scaredy cat"? In this video, I talk about 5 very common English Idioms that are Halloween-themed! Watch the full video with my top 5 idioms for Halloween to improve your English and impress your friends. ------------------- • Idiom Activity for ESL or EFL Students : https://youtu.be/m_1SWRQSWHg ------------------- • Check out my blog if you want to find more information about American English Idioms https://eslspeaking.org/american-english-idioms/ Check out my 365 American English Idioms book: https://amzn.to/3bCR2Yv -------------------- https://www.facebook.com/eslspeaking https://www.pinterest.ca/eslspeaking/ https://www.instagram.com/jackie.bolen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@englishwithjackie?lang=en #esl #learningenglishwithjackie #englishidioms #halloweenidioms ------------------------------------------------------- Even more Ideas for the TEFL Classroom: https://eslspeaking.org/ -------------------------------------------------------- Transcript for Halloween Idioms: Here are my top five Halloween idioms. The first idiom is skeleton in the closet. This means an embarrassing secret. so If you're a politician or a famous person, you don't want your skeletons in the closet to come out because it could create a lot of embarrassment for you. My second idiom related to Halloween is ghost town. A ghost town is somewhere where there are no people. You might be driving and then you drive through a town and you see stores and buildings but there are no people. That is a ghost town. My third idiom is Night Owl. A night owl is someone who loves to stay up very late at night. I might say, my friend, Jill is a night owl. She never goes to bed before 3am. The fourth Halloween idiom is scaredy cat. My cat Lucy is scared of everything. She's scared of people, and she's scared of loud noises so I would say she is a scaredy cat. But that also can describe a person who is scared of many, many things. My fifth Halloween idiom is graveyard shift. This is someone who works at night. So I can say, my dad worked the graveyard shift when I was growing up. That means you start work at 10 or 11 at night and then you maybe finish work at seven or eight in the morning. That's it for my top five ESL Halloween idioms. Please check out my book, 365 Idioms. Until next time, bye everybody.
