Warm-up: What Are You Afraid Of? (15 min)
1. Set the tone by dimming the lights, shutting the blinds and turning on spooky sounds:
2. Using your phone’s flashlight, lit your face from below.
3. Ask: Do you like to be scared?
4. If the room is dark, let your students run free for a minute, spooking each other. They can also use flashlights in their phones or sneak up on their friends.
If the class atmosphere doesn’t allow that, move on to the next step.
5. After they’ve warmed up, ask: What are you afraid of?
6. Students name things they are afraid of. Ask volunteers to come to the board and write their suggestions down.
For example:
Spiders, Ghosts, Vampires, Heights, Darkness, Bats, Homeworks, etc.
7. Eventually, you should have 10 – 15 scary examples to work with. Next, you’re going to find the scariest thing of them all.
8. Ask your students to individually pick 2 – 3 things they are truly afraid of.
9. Decide on an action, e.g.: hide your face under the desk or run out of the classroom.
10. Go over all the spooky examples and count the number of students that performed the action. Write that number next to the example.
