Eine Lerntheke zu Halloween auf zwei Niveaus
(Klassen 8/9)
Ein Beitrag von Konstanze Zander, Westerengel
alloween zählt zu den beliebtesten Festen bei
Jugendlichen. Sie verkleiden sich, gehen von
Tür zu Tür, um nach Süßigkeiten zu fragen, und
feiern gruselig-schöne Partys. Die meisten Menschen glauben, dass Halloween eine USamerikanische Tradition ist. Aber stimmt das?
In dieser Lerntheke gehen die Schüler der Geschichte von Halloween nach, die ihren Ursprung
bei den Kelten hatte. Sie beschäftigen sich aber
auch mit der modernen Form des Festes, wie es
heute in den USA und Europa begangen wird.

Haunted houses

At Halloween people build haunted houses to give visitors a spooky experience.
Haunted houses are believed to be inhabited by the ghosts of the people who
once lived there. Are you brave enough to have a look at a haunted house?
Task
Work together with a partner. Each of you gets a picture of a haunted house. Partner A
describes his picture. Partner B listens carefully, tries to find the differences between
his picture and writes them down. He or she can ask questions to find the differences.
Then swap roles! Afterwards compare the differences that you found.
