Use this Holiday to review and practice feelings and emotions vith your ESL learners.There are  Halloween characters such as pumpkins, ghosts, witches, vampires, monsters, mummies and more with the basic emotions like happy, sad, angry. 

Halloween emotions Flashcards

Use the Halloween emotions flashcards to  review feelings vocabulary. Display the cards on a bulletin board  and encourage students to identify the emotions shown by each character.

Teacher: How does the candy corn feel?

Students: He is angry!

Matching and Sorting Activities with the small cards

Play a game by handing in all the small cards and having the students make groups by sorting the cards into characters or emotions. Designate a place for all the happy, sad and angry characters. At your signal students run to place their Halloween card.

Teacher: All the happy Halloween characters cards. Here!!!

Students sort the Halloween character cards into matching groups, such as pumpkins, witches, ghosts, vampires, and zombies. 🎃👻🧙‍♀️🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️

A set of Halloween emotions cutouts is included. I would suggest that you make puppets. One idea is that you hand in all the puppets and then start calling them.

Teacher: Where is the happy Vampire? Come here!!

Halloween Sorting using the cutouts

Sorting can be fun. I used 3 Halloween paper plates and added the emotions words on each one. Students can start sorting and saying where each characters belongs: A happy ghost!

I saw another sorting idea on Pinterest and gave it a try, instead of using plastic spoons I had some recycled plastic knives. I glued the cutout on each knife. I placed the devil and the emotion word on each candy holder that I had.

Make patterns with the cutouts

Let’s make patterns strips of paper. It can be all with the same emotions: sad devil, sad Zombie, sad ghost, sad candy corn.

It can be the same character in different emotion: a happy werewolf, a sad werewolf, an angry werewolf.

Make puzzles

If you cut each item in two, three, even different positions, you have a big Halloween puzzle for your students.

Halloween Worksheets

 Teachers can use the worksheets for speaking. When the worksheets are ready have the students point and name each character.
Students: an angry Zombie! A happy ghost! A sad Mummy!

Playing Halloween Emotions Bingo can be a good way to assess their knowledge on the unit. Print the cards and templates to hand in to each group of five students. Have the students glue their favorite characters onto each square. Start calling Bingo!

Teacher: an angry Frankenstein!

There is a template to use for sorting the Bingo cards.  Students can sort the cards onto the mat into emotions as they say the phrase.

Students: a happy ghost!
