Description
This October, challenge and engage your ESL students with this interactive map game featuring a haunted town on Halloween night! This game is a cross between a picture dictation and a logic puzzle. It can be played by either one or two players. Students read in the first version and speak in the second. In both versions, the students practice using cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and ordinal directions (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest). Illustrated cards represent the following places on the map: bats’ cave, black gate, cemetery, ghosts’ mansion, pumpkin patch, spooky tree, stone wall, vampire’s castle, and witch's hut. Students can review this vocabulary with the matching activity provided. In the one-player version, students read the clues and place the cards on the map to satisfy the conditions. This version is self-checking, so students get instant feedback. Audio is included to support emergent readers. In the two-player version, students use their oral communication skills to produce matching versions of the map. One student arranges the cards and the other asks questions to guess their locations. Sentence starters are provided. Students will enjoy working as a team to match their boards. Both versions feature seven levels of play, starting with just three places and ending with nine. Younger children can succeed at the lower levels, while older ones can challenge themselves to complete all seven!
