Sharing free and funny e-cards are a great way to wish your friends a Happy Hallowe'en. However, you can use them in class as well, especially if they are interactive, like this one. I have used this card once as a warm-up in a lesson about Hallowe'en and it totally grabbed the students' attention in a very effective way. Egreetings.com offers an interesting selection at your disposal on this 'spooky' venue!... In case you prefer the printable version, GotFreeCards offers you the possibility of creating and printing your own Hallowe'en card at home. You could challenge your students with a competition on the spookiest Hallowe'en card ever... Some students simply love a contest and that is an extraordinary way to boost their creativity!...
Last, but not least, YouTube! Our students love YouTube (and so do most of us)... It has an endless handy list of resources that we, as teachers, must not forget. One of my favourite for Hallowe'en is Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas, as well as, The Corpse Bride. You can use these resources to develop your students' vocabulary on Hallowe'en, their listening skills, as well as their ability for story telling, which can also be a written activity. Fantastic teacher-friendly resources that make our life much simpler and our lessons utterly more interesting!...
