Learn Halloween Vocabulary - Spooky English Words for Beginners

The Halloween words a beginner needs before the holiday arrives: pumpkin, witch, scarecrow, full moon, Frankenstein and the rest, shown and said one at a time.

Halloween vocabulary is unusual in that almost none of it appears anywhere else in the year, so students meet the words once, use them for a week and lose them. This runs through them slowly - pumpkin, witch, scarecrow, full moon, Frankenstein and the other characters and symbols of 31 October - with each word shown, said, and left on screen long enough to repeat.

Pronunciation gets as much room as meaning, which matters here: several of these words are longer and stranger than anything else at A1. Four minutes, animated, and it is the video to play before any of the Halloween games on the site, so the class has the words the games assume.
