I borrowed some work from fellow ALTs in my prefecture, so huge shoutout to them!

Thank you.
How big are your classes? Vampire hunt looks really fun, but I'm worried about how to run the game with a large class (40 students). Especially since I don't think you can break them into groups for that game, right?
Usually my largest class size is 24 students but it might work with a class of 40 if you double the character cards. I'm not sure groups make sense for this game but maybe make sure the vampires are spread out around the class so that students can hear activity around them? Please let me know if you try the activity!
Thanks for the reply! 24 students definitely seems more manageable. I'm bouncing around a couple ideas for my Halloween lesson, but I'll definitely let you know if I try this activity!
@cnakashima18: I had a combined class today with 36 students. I made more cards and we played the game as usual EXCEPT that when it came time to vote, only half the class would vote to save time. We would alternate which side of the class voted each time. It worked pretty well!
Wow this is really good! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Sounds like a fun game! I want to give it a try with my students. I'm just curious about one thing though... what do the exiled characters and vampire attack victims do while the game progresses without them? They sit and watch in silence?
