How to prepare an unforgettable Halloween themed class for your students: Get the most out of it!

Surely you already noticed but... 🎃👻 Halloween is just around the corner! 🎃👻

We know that you're always looking for ways to make learning fun and memorable for your students. Today, from Great Little People, we bring you some practical tips so you can prepare a Halloween-themed class full of magic, learning and, of course, lots of English!

Why organize a special Halloween class?

Incorporating holiday themes such as Halloween into lessons not only adds a touch of fun, but it also helps children learn in a more meaningful and natural way. Through games, songs and creative activities, you can encourage their learning of English and involve them in Anglo-Saxon culture.

Here are some key ideas for preparing your class so that your children can enjoy this experience to the fullest with the help of tools from our English methodology for children:
‍

1. Create the right environment

Transform the classroom to immerse children in this special class: Decorate with pumpkins, cobwebs, bats and ghosts to create a festive atmosphere that motivates them to participate. In addition, you can take the opportunity to teach new vocabulary in English related to the elements you use: “Pumpkin”, “Spider”, “Witch”...

Remember that the more visual the class, the easier it will be for children to associate English with the reality that surrounds them.
‍

2. Introduce storytelling

Nothing better than a good story to capture the attention of the little ones. This is where we propose you to use the resource of our video”The Magic Girl and the Big Pumpkin” where you will discover a chilling adventure perfect for celebrating Halloween 📽️✨

You can project it at the beginning of the class as an introduction, and then do related activities. Ask students to tell what they liked the most, or to draw their favorite scenes while practicing key words from the story.
