Instructions
Put the pupils into teams of 2-4

Pupils have to think of one item to go in each category beginning with that letter. A sheet for recording words is provided.
Teams have 60 seconds to complete the task. There is a timer on the slide. The witch image will gradually disappear and the end of the 60 seconds culminates in a witchâs cackle. Halloween background music plays whilst pupils think of words.
To return to the image page, click on the letter on the top right-hand corner of the witch slide.
If a team finishes before the 60 seconds, they shout âStop the Broom!â Click on the slide to activate the witchâs cackle when all teams have to stop.
Teams score 1 point if they have an appropriate item in the category. They get 2 points if no other team has that word.
The length of time pupils have can be reduced or extended by altering the timing of the witch image.
