This song has so many great childhood memories for me. Every year we would sing this song in class near Halloween. I have continued the tradition with my students and every year they are thrilled to hear it again and partake in a sing-a-long with me. After we've sang the song at the beginning of class, we start on a few Halloween activities I have created for them. This year we'll be focusing on les virelangues d'Halloween. Over the last few weeks our Virelangue de la semaine has been Halloween themed. This week students will write their own tongue twister and post them around our classroom. Students will then vote to select certain ones for a Halloween award. Categories are: most creative, scariest, most difficult and silliest. If we have time students will illustrate their tongue twisters and we'll create a classroom ebook from them. My hope is to have students record themselves saying their tongue twister and embedded the audio into our ebook using iBooks on my MacBook.
What kind of Halloween activities will you be doing this week? I'd love to hear what you are all up to.
I'm having a Halloween sale at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. 15% off everything until October 31st!
I'm having my students, in second year of FSL but in grade 5, make "Go Fish" cards for halloween words. On one card they draw the picture of the item. On the other, they write the word in french. They can add to these decks as they go through the year!
