October is creeping closer, and this Halloween idioms and sayings bingo game is ready to haunt your lesson plans in the best possible way. It covers 25 idioms and sayings, comes in three different card formats to match your students' proficiency levels, and gives you 40 unique cards per version so everyone has a different card.

WHAT’S INSIDE:



• ✅ Image + Text Halloween Bingo Cards (color) Each card shows a full-color real photograph to go with the idiom or saying printed beneath it. The calling cards include the image, the idiom, and a definition, making checking whether a Bingo win is legit quick and easy, even if a sub is running this in your absence.
• ✅ Image-Only Halloween Bingo Cards (color) Full-color real photographs appear on the playing cards without any text. Students must connect the image to the idiom as it's called, which raises the challenge level above the Image + Text set. 
• ✅ Text-Only Halloween Bingo Cards (black and white, printer-friendly) The playing cards display idioms and sayings only, with no photographs or color. The black and white calling cards include the idiom and its definition. This set works well for higher-proficiency groups and is easy on the ink budget.

Each version includes its own set of calling cards.

THIS WAS CREATED FOR YOUR ADULT ESL STUDENTS

For many of your adult ESL students, this might be their first Halloween. Their kids are coming home from school all abuzz about costumes and candy. The neighbors have skeletons and gravestones in the yard, and that's probably coming across a bit morbid. There might be a costume day at work, and the break room is full of conversations they can only half follow. Halloween is loud, strange, and everywhere in October...and your students are right in the middle of it without a map.

The 25 idioms and sayings in this game feel at home in October, but they don't disappear on November 1st. Expressions like these turn up in workplaces, conversations, and everyday life all year long. Your students get the fun of a Halloween classroom moment and vocabulary that keeps working for them long after the decorations come down.

Forty unique cards per format with twenty-five Halloween-flavored idioms and sayings. You've got zero excuses not to make October lessons something your students will remember.
