Living in Malaysia and sometimes Singapore, our family has friends who celebrate Halloween although we don’t really do so.
We were invited to a Halloween party once where little El dressed up as a pumpkin and that was about the experience we had.
Nevertheless, the kids spent some time learning about Halloween in English and Chinese.
I selected key phrases and made a set of bilingual word flashcards. These are smaller cards (1/8 A4) designed for children learning to read.
As a control of error for Chinese reading, there’s Hanyu Pinyin behind each card.
I also made two 1-page write-ups on the festival in English and Chinese for them to practise reading.
You’ll get the free printables below.
