Present Simple No-Prep Halloween Game for A1/A2 Levels

This engaging classroom game provides a focused and interactive way for elementary-level ESL students to review the Present Simple tense. Students act as wizards identifying and correcting errors in “magic spells” (sentences), betting “crystals” (game points) on their answers. The activity is designed to strengthen grammar skills in a memorable, collaborative format, making it an ideal resource for a grammar revision lesson, particularly around the Halloween season.

The game targets key areas of the Present Simple, including positive and negative forms, question formation, and the critical third-person singular ‘-s’. It emphasizes not just error identification but also the ability to correct mistakes and articulate simple grammar rules.
