I built a musical instrument out of teeth! Youtube link in bio. Maybe it’s off beat, but at least it has a lot of bite 🦷

This guy Sauron called and gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Sorry I’m an orc now. #wetaworkshop

So, among other crazy things, Simone created a robot which fed her pumpkin soup.

Sounds weird? Messy? It definitely is and your students are going to love it.

I don’t usually teach younger students, so I don’t do Halloween lessons much. But I love Simone Giertz and I thought this short, funny video would be great as a video lesson. That is the maximum of Halloween themed lesson I can bear.

It’s a simple, one-page PDF worksheet with warm-up questions, vocabulary matching exercise and discussion questions.


Have fun, and don’t forget to share if you like it. Thanks!
