C'est octobre. I love the chill that's in the air this time of the year. It can only mean one thing . . . l'Halloween! I took my boys costume shopping this afternoon. Looks like I'm going to have a little pirate and a Darth Vader this year. I can't wait to dress in costume and take the kids trick-or-treating on a dark, chilly night. Tomorrow we're decking out our house with the paper skeletons and light-up bats. J'adore l'Halloween!
I grew up with this holiday, but it's a relative newcomer to France. Every year I'm amazed by how it's catching on.
Learn some spooky vocabulary in French, and challenge a friend to a game of Halloween Tic Tac Toe. It's the latest language download by Foreign Language House.
Disguised as the classic X and O game, this effective activity encourages speaking and communication. Instead of a blank tic tac toe grid, you'll find Halloween vocabulary pictures in each square. Players must speak in order to place an X or O in a box. Beginners can just identify the picture with a single word, while more advanced speakers can make descriptions or create original sentences in a variety of tenses.
