Halloween Would You Rather? PowerPoint

Make Halloween speaking and listening fun with this illustrated Halloween Would You Rather? PowerPoint for KS1. Designed for Year 1 and suitable for Year 2, this classroom game gives children 20 playful choices to discuss, with clear pictures and large, easy-to-read text.

Would you rather have a pet ghost or a pet dragon? Fly on a broomstick or ride in a pumpkin carriage? Each question includes a picture for both choices to help children understand the prompt and join the conversation.

Ideal for oracy practice, the slides encourage children to practise explaining their opinions, giving reasons, taking turns and listening to different viewpoints. The repeated sentence starter, “I would rather … because …”, supports spoken sentence composition and can lead into a short writing activity.

What’s included?

• A 24-slide teaching PowerPoint.
• 20 Halloween “Would You Rather?” questions.
• Different illustrations for every question.
• Large text with capital letters.
• A sentence starter on each question slide.
• Simple instructions and a short teacher guide.
• A slide for children to create their own choices.

Perfect for:

• KS1 Halloween activities and classroom games.
• Year 1 and Year 2 speaking and listening.
• Oracy practise during partner talk and circle time.
• Morning starters, brain breaks and end-of-term activities.
• Oral rehearsal before sentence writing.

Display the PowerPoint, read the choices aloud and give children time to share their ideas. Use a few questions for a quick discussion or spread them across the Halloween season.
