PICTURE AND READING COMPREHENSION – HALLOWEEN

What’s true and what’s not?

The task is to look at the picture on the card, read the English sentences next to the picture, and then choose the sentences that are true. The sentences describe what is/could be seen in the picture (e.g. I see a pig in a ghost costume. The costume is white. I can’t see the animal’s legs.).

The cards may have one true statement, more than one true statement, or may not have any true statements at all.

The worksheets included are based on the same principle as the cards.

The cards and worksheets are available in both American and British English (has vs. has got; candy vs. sweets etc.)

The cards and worksheets help students practice:

• vocabulary: numbers, colors, animals (dog, cat, pig, fish, spider…), emotions (happy, sad, surprised, angry, scared), body parts (eyes, nose, ears, arms…), general Halloween vocabulary (pumpkin, costume, witch, bat, candy/sweets, dark…)

• there is, there are

• verbs can, have, be in positive and negative sentences

• contractions (can’t vs. cannot etc.)

This teaching material includes:

• 24 cards

• 2 worksheets – each worksheet includes four pictures with six sentences. Students who need an additional challenge can come up with their own sentences for the given picture (true or false).

• answer key – a table of all cards in which true statements are marked.
