Learn about traditional autumn festivals with this fun scavenger hunt, which covers Halloween, la Toussaint and le Jour des Morts. There are 10 English language texts, each covering the origins, traditions and vocabulary of autumn festivals. The first text introduces the festivals, there are three texts on Halloween (including Halloween in France), five texts on la Toussaint and one on la Fete des Morts.

The texts can be hung up around the classroom. Each text has a question; however, the answers to the questions are found in a different text, so pupils need to move around the room, reading the information and searching for the answers.

The answers become the Code Words, which are recorded in the pupils’ answer grids. Once the grid is complete, pupils unscramble the letters in the shaded boxes to find the Mystery Words. The first pupils to find the Mystery Words are the winners. Pupils can play individually, in pairs or small groups.

This resource contains:

• 10 texts to stick up around the classroom
• Directions for pupils and notes for teachers
• Teacher answer sheet
• Answer grids for pupils
