James                Are your kids going to a Halloween party tonight?

Irene                Well, yes. Actually we are having one for them and their friends.

James                That will be nice for them.

Irene                Yes. They will all dress up and play games, and I am making a pumpkin pie for them to eat.

James                That sounds good.

Irene                Jenny is wearing a black cat costume and Bobby has a skeleton costume.

James                Children love dressing up like that, don’t they?

Irene                Yes. So do you have any plans?

James                Well, I won’t dress up, but I might watch a horror film.

Irene                Oh. Which one?

James                I’m not sure yet. Maybe something with vampires or werewolves.

Irene                I see. Well, have fun.

James                Thanks. You too. Bring me a piece of pumpkin pie if there’s any left.

Irene                Will do!

          •        Practise the dialogue with a partner. Swap roles.

                        Write: A ____________________ (This must be a male ‘person’ or creature                 e.g. werewolf, bat, zombie, frog, etc.) at the top of your paper. Then fold it                 over so it can’t be seen and pass the paper to the next student.

•        The give the second instruction:

                        Write: met a ____________________ (This must be a female person e.g.                         witch, or creature)

                                Again they must fold over the paper and pass to the next student.

•        Thirdly they must write:

                        at ____________________. (A place) Fold and pass.

•        Next:

                        They were eating _____________________. Fold and pass.

•        Then:

                        He said to her “_____________________.” (A sentence spoken by the male                 to the female) Fold and pass.

•        Next:

                        She said to him “_____________________.” (A sentence spoken by the                         female to the male) Fold and pass.

•        Finally:

                        The consequence was ____________________. (Something that happened                 as a result of the meeting)
