Students explore magical Halloween potions, each with a special effect — from calming nerves to flying over the city. Learners imagine which potion they’d choose, discuss where and how they’d use it, and explain why it’s useful. This creative speaking task helps students practise expressing preferences, giving reasons, and using imagination in English.

Why this activity is useful: 

• Encourages creativity – students use imagination in a fun Halloween context.

• Practises functional language – expressing opinions, preferences, and reasons (“I’d choose… because…”).

• Improves speaking fluency – through open-ended discussion.

• Boosts confidence – students talk about light, personal topics in a relaxed atmosphere.

• Builds vocabulary – introduces magical and emotional adjectives (brave, calm, invisible, magical, useful, etc.).
