This Halloween-themed ESL/EFL picture story helps adult students practise the past simple and past continuous tenses while developing their storytelling, narrative writing and picture-description skills.

Students look at nine colourful illustrations and write a story about a group of office workers who want to celebrate Halloween despite their strict boss's objections. An unexpected visitor leads to a surprising and funny ending.

The activity encourages students to describe past events, combine the past simple and past continuous, and use sequencing expressions to connect events into a coherent story.

Language goals: Storytelling, describing past events, narrative writing, sequencing events.

Grammar: Past simple and past continuous.

Theme: Halloween, office life, teamwork, problem-solving, celebrations.

CEFR level: A2–B1 (Elementary to Intermediate).

Age group: Adults

Page 2 contains the KEY with example answers for all nine pictures.

Interactive quiz: An interactive version complements the printable worksheet. Students type their own sentences into the answer boxes. After submitting each answer, an example solution is displayed. Because this is an open-ended writing activity, students' answers are not automatically corrected or scored.
