Who Took the Candy from the Candy Jar? | 1 Halloween ESL Lesson | Counting & Shapes

Celebrate Halloween with Who Took the Candy from the Candy Jar?, a complete 1-lesson ESL pack for kindergarten and young non-readers, built around the popular song from Super Simple Songs.

This playful Halloween lesson uses candy as the theme to practise counting, number recognition, colours and shapes through hands-on games and visual activities. Children learn through listening, sorting, matching, counting, spinning, collecting and playing, with no reading required.

The pack includes 8 interactive activities: Colour Sorting, Feed the Candy Bag, Sorting by Number, Who Took the Candy from the Candy Jar?, Shapes Clip Cards, Spin the Wheel and Collect the Candy, Candy Bag Bingo, and I Spy.

Students practise numbers and counting up to 15, identify different candy shapes, sort candy by colour and number, and use the song props to actively participate in Who Took the Candy from the Candy Jar? rather than simply listening to the song. The shape activities introduce and reinforce shapes such as circle, square, rectangle, triangle, star, heart and oval.

Teachers receive clear instructions for every activity, making it easy to prepare the materials and follow the lesson from beginning to end.

A fun, structured Halloween lesson that combines music, candy, counting and shapes while keeping kindergarten students actively involved throughout the class.
