This was originally posted by mssamansa. Cant thank them enough for going through the trouble of making this because ES keeps us so busy with classes. I have simply altered the questions to be suitable for 6th grade ES (One World Smiles textbook Up to Unit/Lesson 7)and uploaded it to save time for other ES ALTs.
ACTIVITY
Happy spooky month, everyone! This is a simple, powerpoint based quiz game with a Halloween theme! The main questions are all general English review, but some of the bonus questions involve Halloween trivia.
PREP:
Connect your computer/tablet to your classroom display, mark out a place on the board to keep track of points
HOW TO PLAY:
Divide students into groups of 5-6 and have them draw straws to determine play order
Teams take turns choosing a number from the home screen. They then have 30 seconds to answer the question. If they get the question right, they earn points. HOWEVER--some questions lead to a "trick or treat" option. On this screen the students can decide if they want a "treat" (2 points) or a "trick" (challenge question or minigame worth 4+ points).
There are roughly 10 trick or treat options hidden throughout the game. Half of these lead to challenge questions, which are all multiple choice Halloween trivia. The other half lead to minigames which are as follows:
Zombie Attack: all teams return to zero
Vampire Battle: play janken with another team, winner steals 3 points
Candy Bag: +6 points
**Note: If a team answers the original question correctly but fails the challenge question, I give them 1 point for their first correct answer.
POWERPOINT INSTRUCTIONS:
Click the number on the home screen to take you to the corresponding question
After students have answered, click anywhere to reveal the right answer
Click the ? icon to reveal the points OR trick or treat
In the case of trick or treat: click the candy icon to reveal the points, or the ghost icon to reveal the challenge question
Click the home icon to return to the home screen.
Used this with my 6年生！They're a bit advanced but still had some challenges with this one (especially arranging sentences off the top of their head!) I would recommend having a time limit if you want to keep up a pace (we did 25 seconds) and cross off on the board's writing function with small dashes for each tried number ! Also let the other team steal points for some competitive edge, but they were very reluctant to choose trick instead of treat.
This was a great activity. Thank you for going to the trouble to create and share it.
