      This is amazing! Thank you so much! This is pretty much EXACTLY what my JTE asked for. I made some small edits (I changed the regional slide to reflect my own region) but this is a gorgeous powerpoint. Ostukare sama deshita!!!

      A good change for lower level students might be to fill in the rest of the time with a word search rather than a quiz that rehashes the game, and maybe play classic Halloween songs (Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, etc) on a speaker in the background? Amazing job either way!!!

      Nice powerpoint with some nice info! On top of the change suggested by Sciander above I would also like to point out that "What people do today?" should be "What do people do today?", " Which 3 countries did Halloween start?" should be "In which 3 countries did Halloween start?" and "What is the name of the Celts festival that started Halloween?" should be "What is the name of the Celtic festival that started Halloween?"

      Nice powerpoint. I also noticed the All Hallow's Day mistake that Sciander and idotherock mentioned. All Hallow's Eve's "Hallow's Eve" turned into "Halloween" I'm guessing because it sounds similar.
