Lesson overview:
In this Halloween ESL lesson for teens and adults, students listen to a radio segment about Halloween pranks that didn't go as planned, then invent and describe pranks of their own.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- say how they would react to a prank
- follow a radio story and answer questions about it
- use words like prank, spooky and creepy
- tell a story with the past simple and past perfect
The lesson works well with high school groups and with adults who enjoy a joke.
Lead-in:
Students imagine a few playful pranks happening to them and predict how they would react. Would they laugh it off, get spooked or plan a prank in return?
Add it to a class plan and keep track of what you've taught.
