Spooky Activities for Secondary

You need: A computer, projector, speakers and

paper and pencils for students to take notes.
I use A LOT of videos in the classroom. They´re
great listening practice with visuals to help, and
they keep short attention spans focused. A few of
my faves for Halloween are:
Halloween Betcha Didn´t Know

There are a ton of ways to use these videos but my

favorite is as follows:
1. Tell the students you are going to play a video
and that they need to take as many notes as
possible. Warn them that the narrator speaks
fast, but to focus on what they do understand,
not what they can’t. Walk around the room to
be sure they´re taking notes.
2. Afterward, tell them that they are going to
watch the video a second time and will need to
use their notes to make questions for the other
groups. The idea is to stump the opposing
groups, so they should listen for details. Give
them an example (IE, What is the most popular
costume in the USA?)
3. After a second viewing, give them 3 – 5
minutes in groups to create their own
questions and then have each group asks their
questions to the opposing teams. +1 point to
 each group who gets it right, or +2 points to the
asking group if no one answers correctly.
