The six pumpkins at B1–B2

  • Listening – video clips built on informal words: pandemonium, blockhead, swot, incy-wincy.
  • Facts – four plausible claims about Halloween, one of them wrong.
  • Songs – the opening lines play and you choose how the song goes on out of three options that all rhyme.
  • Grammar – question tags, typed rather than chosen.
  • Trivia – nineteen Halloween questions with four options each.

Levels: B2 for the reading, the video and the songs, B1 for the facts, the grammar and the trivia · Theme: Halloween

Frequently Asked Questions

What is behind the six pumpkins at B1–B2?

A true-or-false reading about a costume parade where the answers turn on the writer’s attitude; a video quiz on informal words such as blockhead and swot; a facts task with one false claim; a song task where you choose how the line goes on; question tags; and a Halloween trivia round.

What grammar does Halloween Pumpkin Patch B1–B2 practise?

Question tags, and they are typed rather than chosen. Sentences such as “Let’s go trick-or-treating, …?” and “Everybody’s dancing, …?” break the usual pattern, so the auxiliary, the pronoun and the polarity all have to be worked out – the point at which otherwise fluent learners still hesitate.

What is the songs task in Halloween Pumpkin Patch B1–B2?

The opening lines of a Halloween song play, and the student chooses how the song goes on out of three options. All three scan and rhyme, so guessing does not help: the answer comes from rhythm, stress and what the previous line set up. The continuation plays once the choice is made.
