Reading & speaking A2 and B2 activities

Both Halloween and the Day of the Dead happen at the same time of year — when days get shorter and nights feel longer.
But they show two different ways of looking at death.
Halloween – Fear and Mystery
Halloween comes from ancient Celtic traditions in Europe. People believed that on October 31st, the line between the living and the dead became thin.
They wore masks and costumes to hide from spirits and protect themselves from bad luck.
Today, it’s full of fun, fantasy, and fear — ghosts, pumpkins, and haunted houses.
It’s about scaring and being scared, turning fear into something playful.
Day of the Dead – Love and Memory
In contrast, the Mexican Día de los Muertos celebrates death with colour, love, and music.
Families prepare altars with candles, flowers, and food to welcome their loved ones who passed away.
It’s not about fear — it’s about connection.
People don’t run from death; they invite it to the table.
It’s a day to remember, not to escape.
Two Traditions, One Message
Halloween and the Day of the Dead might look very different — one dark and spooky, the other bright and joyful —
but both remind us that death is part of life, and memory keeps people alive in our hearts.
