The Centre for Language in Education (CLE) celebrated the Halloween 2021 with two events: a face-to-face event on 28 October 2021 and a Zoom event on 29 October. These events might look a little different due to the pandemic, but the participants tried to do what they could to still make them a special one.
Halloween Trivia Night:
On 28 October, the Trivia Game Night started in the Arthur Samy Language Learning Centre (ASLLC). Student participants were divided into groups and competed against each other to see who knew the most about Halloween traditions, pop culture and history. To make the event more competitive and fun, different mini-games were conducted to offer groups extra bonus points. Take a look at the pictures and check out the winners.
Murder Mystery Night:
On 29 October, an online Halloween event was conducted on Zoom. The event started with warm-up logic games to test student participants’ analytical skills. After sharpening their deductive reasoning skills, they were involved in a detective game to find out what happened in Mistletan Manor, the setting of a crime. The students joined this event as inspectors who, through different rounds, interrogated the suspects (played by the International Tutors and student helpers) in order to find out the murderer.
Thanks to everyone who joined and made these two events possible under the pandemic!
