Halloween pastimes

                                              From: internet

Un año más hemos llegado a Halloween. Una fiesta que, aunque se celebra más en los países anglosajones, parece que se ha ido asentando en muchos otros y parece haber llegado para quedarse, aunque con diferencias a la hora de la celebración.

Una fiesta en la que son muchos los que se lanzan a disfrazarse, adornar las casas y tallar calabazas. A unos puede gustarles más que a otros como sucede con todo, pero ahí está.

Hoy vamos a practicar el vocabulario asociado a esta fiesta y lo vamos a hacer a través de crucigramas, sopas de letras…y para los que prefieran leer, aquí os dejo también unos textos.

He hecho una selección de lo que he encontrado en diferentes páginas de internet y me ha parecido interesante. Para los que queráis más os animo a que miréis por internet que ya os digo que hay infinidad de páginas con diferentes actividades.

Si lo que os apetece es ver un video dónde poder recordar el vocabulario, os dejo este de youtube
