This is good activity for advanced beginner level students to practice three things at the same time - Modal verbs, asking Polite questions, and Special questions. I'm going to try it with my practicum group.
This is a good listening activity, where learners will listen to a story and get used to coping with noise when listening. They can listen to the story with and without subtitles. Then they can answer comprehension questions. Alternatively, it is a good story - a part of Halloween party, and students can describe the clothes and characters they see.
