Save Barnaby's Halloween

ESL lesson – interactive vocabulary and grammar A1/A2

Something is wrong at Barnaby’s house this Halloween. Barnaby, a friendly but terribly forgetful ghost, has lost his trick-or-treat bag — and he can’t remember where he left it!

His memories of the previous day have broken into five fragments hidden around the house. Students join Barnaby as he searches the rooms, solves language challenges and gradually puts his memories back together. Each completed challenge reveals another memory and brings them closer to discovering what really happened to the missing bag.

Students practise

* rooms, furniture and household objects

* there is / there are

* possessive pronouns

* adverbs of frequency

* Past Simple of regular verbs

* understanding and sequencing past events

* reading for detail and using visual clues

The set includes the complete interactive Genially adventure, language challenges, visual search activities, story-based tasks and Teacher’s Notes with answer keys.

CHALLENGE ME – C1/C2
Students receive a more demanding follow-up that asks them to defend, reconsider, qualify or expand their argument.

The extension can also turn the activity into pair work: one student answers the main question while their partner reveals the follow-up and challenges them to continue.
