Elicit/explain vocabulary
Simple idea of game is to escape from the Halloween Pumpkin room. Normally this is done by clicking things and working out various puzzles.
The idea here is you give them the instructions and they themselves go through and do the activity – a nice fun reading with some great Halloween vocab, imperative and prepositions of place!
Instructions
Knife is in the eye of the fire place
H: move logs in the fireplace
A: Left hand wall, top shelf, spin middle pumpkin
L: front wall, single pumpkin on top, click stem
L: right hand wall, single pumpkin in middle top, click stem
O: left hand wall, single pumpkin above poster, nose
W: left hand wall, very bottom pumpkin, use knife to cut mouth
E: front wall, second shelf, slide second and third pumpkin
E: right hand wall, bottom shelf with 4 pumpkins, click stem of pumpkin on right
N: 3rd pumpkin down on right hand of steps
D: left box on floor
A: Puzzle above door, place round pumpkins first, then rectangles, then pear shaped. Collect pumpkin, Open middle box on floor, collect uncarved pumpkin. Place carved pumpkin on bottom shelf above fire place, click on stem.
Y: bottom right hand scroll of flashing poster

Candle: right hand wall, single pumpkin on top right

Put all letters on top of the empty shelf next to door. Click uncarved pumpkin, then use the knife to carve nose, mouth and stem. Place candle in pumpkin, then click stem to close it. Place the pumpkin on bottom empty shelf next to door. You are out!
