Explore the spooky, the macabre and the downright terrifying stories that the German-speaking world has to offer this Halloween! This two-page reading comprehension worksheet presents four spine-chilling stories from gothic lore spanning Germany, Austria and Switzerland, along with comprehension questions for each and vocabulary support. It offers a truly authentic Germanic take on Halloween, introducing the der Basilisk von Wien, der Alptraum von Freiburg, die weiße Frau von Berlin and die Hexe von Zug in all their chilling glory.
The worksheet level is ideal for pushing proficient students at around A2-B1 on the CEFR scale (so pre-GCSE, able Year 8/9), encouraging gist-reading and reading for fun.
A third page including suggested model answers is supplied.
Just don’t attempt it in the dark!
Trigger warning: themes of violence and horror that may not be suitable for younger or sensitive students.
