Halloween - Scene It

Watch a movie clip and answer some questions.

I tried uploading this twice and for some reason its not uploading. The original work came from @CarpenterBee, I just copied and edited the heck out of it. Big shoutout to CarpenterBee!

I also paired this activity with my Halloween fact sheet that you can also find on my page.

Movie/Clips in this PPT:
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
- Hocus Pocus
- Shrek
- Ghostbusters
- The Mask
- Coco
- Casper
- Goosbumps 2
- The Adamms Family

Materials:
- Whiteboards, markers and erasers for all teams (optional).
- Blackboard or somewhere for ALT to keep score
- TV + HDMI + PowerPoint displayed laptop

How to Play:
1) Split the class into teams, max 8 teams. (I found that 4-6 teams is the best)

2) Give out whiteboards and stuff each team needs. Fire-up the PowerPoint and lay down the game's basics.

3) Go to the "Videos" part of the PowerPoint. Teams will choose a number for a movie clip. Click the number/movie clip the kids want to be hyperlinked to the video. Watch the clip in full.

4) After the clip, you'll be directed to 3 black spiders. Clicking on any of these will send you to a question.

5) Have teams write their answers on their whiteboards (optional). Countdown, then reveal the answer to the question (also optional).
(OR Students can just raise their hand. The first student to raise their hand and answer correctly gets the point.)

6) All the teams that answered correctly get to pick 1 prize from the next "Prize" slide. Click on any of the black cat icons to reveal points (if the students raise their hands, then that student picks the point). (There are only 8 black cat prize items to choose from, hence why there are a maximum of 8 teams.) Keep track of points on a blackboard so everyone can see.

6) Click on the purple bat in the bottom right corner to return to the spider question slide and select more questions related to the movie clip. Click the pumpkin icon to return and select a new movie!

My students had a blast playing it so I hope yours do too.

      Can you please make it public? It says I need to request access.

      This is incredible. Thank you so much. I don't know jack about Halloween so I always struggle with Halloween lessons, this is perfect.
      Going to use it in a variety of classes this week. I've edited out the Japanese translations under the questions to try and get them to think about the meaning.

      The 5th grade kids loved it! But some teams were disappointed because I forgot to let all teams pick a cat prize... Maybe for Christmas I can get it right lmao

      Thank you so much!!!

      This is great! Would this be suitable for ES 4th graders too?
