Teacher: Yes! It’s a
cat bucket. What color is it?
Students: It’s black.

and sort buckets and the candies.

Bucket and Candy Match
Spread out the bucket flashcards on the floor. Hand out the candy flashcards to students. Students take turns matching their candy to the correct Halloween bucket (e.g., Candy corn candy goes in the candy corn bucket!).

Promote active speaking practice using the
skull with an open space to encourage students to read aloud and say
the name of the Halloween character clearly.
Children match the Halloween candy cards to the correct Halloween bucket cards while developing vocabulary recognition. Glue the witch finger pointer on a craft stick, there are several colors available.
Students can use the witch finger pointer to participate in engaging classroom games. As they point to the matching cards, they can say simple sentences such as: This is the cat bucket.
Play like this!
Students
love “feeding” the skull — it transforms repetition and review into a fun,
hands-on game. Play Feed
the Skull! Place the cards face up on the table. Call
out a word: Feed the candy corn bucket! Students find the correct card,
say the word, and “feed” it through the skull’s mouth.
Memory Game
Place
the cards face down. Students flip two cards at a time to find a matching pair.
When they find one, they must say the words aloud: A vampire bucket and
vampire candy!
