Candy Cane Horseshoes. This game is similar to the throwing horseshoes game. Put up a pole/stick/cone in the classroom. Students take turns throwing candy canes at it. The object of the game is to get your candy cane closest, and only throwing underarm. Extra points for getting the hook around the pole. The winner's prize? To eat all the candy canes! (TP: V: candy cane, throw, underarm, points, prize).

Candy Cane Pass (Relay Race). Supplies: 4 candy canes per team (have a few extras due to breakage). How To Play: The first player holds 4 candy canes between his/her fingers and passes them down the line, teammate to teammate, without dropping any. (TP: None).

Christmas Cards. Supplies: card, colored pens/pencils, glitter. Students make cards for other students in the class. (TP: V: Christmas card. F: writing messages).

Christmas Stocking Relay. Supplies: one stocking for each team, one spoon for each team, one bowl for each team, some wrapped candy. How To Play: Divide students into teams. Have each team line up at one end of the room. At the other end, hang a Christmas stocking for each team. Place a bowl of candy and a spoon in front of each team. Each S takes a turn carrying a candy from the bowl with the spoon across the room to the stocking. They drop the candy in the stocking and race back to the next person in line and give them the spoon. First team to fill the stocking wins! (TP: V: stocking, candy, spoon, bowl. AA: Before the game you can get the sts to decorate their stockings with stars, bells, glitter, etc.).
Chritsmas Flashcards

Students create decorations, ornaments and wrapped presents from craft paper, and then glue them to the tree. (TP: V: decorations (star, bells, etc.), cut, glue).

Freeze: Supplies. Christmas music (see bottom of this page). How To Play: Begin playing music, everyone moves and dances until the music stops then they must "freeze" in whatever position they happen to be in. (TP: None).

Limbo. Based on the classic beach game of "limbo". Try using a string of twinkle lights, or a strand of sparkly garland for your limbo stick. For a fun variation on the game, make it a little more challenging by adding a Santa Stomach to each student as they take their turn. Have a couple of oversized shirts, and some fluffy pillows on hand. (TP: None).

Pass the Christmas Ornament. Supplies: one straw for each child / ornaments cut out of tissue paper (tree, bell, star, etc.). How To Play: Divide the class into 2 teams and line up each team. Sts pass the ornaments down the line, teammate to teammate, by inhaling and exhaling on the straw to hang onto or release the ornament. No hands! The first team to successfully pass the ornaments up and down the line wins! (TP: V: ornament, decoration, tree, bell, star, line up, pass. AA: Before the game you can get the students to make the tissue ornaments).

(TP: V: Rudolph, reindeer, nose, pin, blindfold, spin. F: parts of the body. AA: Song ' Pin The Nose on Rudolph. This is a take on 'pin the tail on the donkey'.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer', 'Rudolph Dash' game).

(TP: V: circle, red, nose, run, stick. F: shapes, colors, parts of the body. AA: Song ' Rudolph Dash. Supplies: Circles cut out of red construction paper, Vaseline.

If the nose falls off the S must go back to the bowl and add more Vaseline to reapply their nose. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer', 'Pin the Nose on Rudolph' game).
Christmas Worksheets
Santa Says. Same as 'Simon Says': The S up is "Santa". S says "Santa says hop". All students hop. S says "Stop". Students should continue hopping on until "Santa" says "Santa says stop". Repeat for other actions such as jump, run, turn around, sit down, stand up, hands up/down, star jump, etc. (TP: F: actions, commands).

Scramble Christmas Words. Supplies: index cards, paper bags. How To Play: Choose a Christmas word such as: Christmas, Candy Cane, Santa Claus, Reindeer.... Write each letter of a word on individual index cards. Put the set in a paper bag. Divide the students into teams. Give each team a bag. The first team to decipher what the word in the bag wins. A variation of the game would be to divide into teams with the same number of students as there are letters in the word. Each S gets a letter and the team must arrange themselves in the right order to spell the word. (TP: F: Spelling).

Secret Santa Gift Exchange. Set this up 2-3 weeks before the class party. Write each person's name on a slip of paper, then have students draw a name from a hat. They can't get their own name. Students must buy a present for the person whose name they chose, but set a (low) price limit. Students bring the wrapped present, with the recipients name on it, to the party (have a few extra presents on hand if anyone forgets, or in case of other emergencies so everyone can get one). The teacher (or Santa!) draws the names from a hat, and the recipient has to guess who gave them the present. (TP: None).

(TP: V: snowman, snowball, throw, points. F: 'wh' / 'yes,no' questions. AA: Song ' Snowball Frosty the Snowman. Draw a snowman on the board with target points (e.g. 10 pts head, 5 pts stomach, etc.). Make wet balls of using tissue. Sts throw the wet 'snowballs' which stick to the snowman (who also slowly melts!). Ask qus for points. Frosty the Snowman', 'Rudolph Dash' game).

Snowflakes. Fold a piece of paper until it is quite small. Then cut small holes in the folded paper. Open up - a snowflake! (TP: V: Snowflake, paper, fold, cut. F: weather).

Spelling Banner. Prepare two banners that say whatever you want them to say, ie Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, etc. Also prepare a set of letters for the same words cut out in two different colors hidden randomly around the room. Divide the class into 2 teams with two captains--the captains sit and wait for their teammates to bring the letters for their banner. If a student is on the "red" team and sees a letter for the "green" team he/she just leaves it alone. The first team to cover their banner letters wins. (TP: F: spelling).

Who am I Santa?. Blindfold one student. The other students stand in circle around the blindfolded student. Spin the student around and then stop him/her facing another student. S says "Ho ho ho. Who am I?". The blindfolded S must guess who that student is and call out his/her name. (TP: F: asking people to identify themselves).

Word Find. Supplies: timer, paper, pens. Divide students into teams. Take a Christmas related word such as: Christmas, candy cane, Santa Claus, etc. and find as many words as possible using the letters of that word. Give a time limit (e.g. 2 mins). The team with the most words wins! Example: Christmas 1: (sit, is, his, miss, rat, tar, this, math, chair, rim...), Example 2: Candy cane (candy, cane, and, dance, day, nay, can, dye, an, any...). (TP: F: Spelling).

'Tis the season to be merry and celebrate the holidays.

You can encourage an atmosphere of celebration in your classroom when you include these Christmas themed games in your lesson plans.

Try These 6 Fun Christmas Games for English Practice

1. Christmas Tongue Twisters

Not only will tongue twisters give your students some pronunciation practice, they are sure to bring laughter to the class room. It's easy to write your own tongue twisters - just compose a phrase whose words all begin with the same or similar letters. Writing your own will give you the chance to include your students' names in the tricky tongue exercises. If you don't feel like writing your own tongue twisters, try one of these: Perfect presents are perched in preparation for the party. Christmas candles cascade characters on the ceiling. Dave dives into delectable desserts.

2. Guess What I Am

In this game, your students will take turns describing different Christmas and holiday related items. Start by brainstorming a list of different holiday items. Your list might include the following: Christmas tree, holiday lights, presents, menorah, Santa Clause, etc. Then either assign one to a student or have her draw an item from a hat. She must then describe the object in the first person (as if she is that object) until someone guesses the object correctly. She starts by giving three clues. For example, she might say, " I grow in the forest. People bring me home and decorate me. They put presents under me. " Students then have a chance to guess what object she is. Whoever guesses correctly gets to be the next person to give a description. If no one can guess the item after three clues, she gives three more and students get another opportunity to guess.

3. Winter Wonderland Categories

This free game from TeachersPayTeachers will challenge your students' knowledge of vocabulary and give them some pronunciation practice. Simply download Winter Wonderland Categories and print the cards and separate them. If you like, you can laminate them as well. Shuffle the cards and put them in a stack. Students take turns drawing one card at a time. On his turn, your student must decide which item listed does not fit into the category. If he gives the correct answer, he keeps the card. If he gives the incorrect answer, he must return the card to the bottom of the pile. Special cards give instructions, and the student who draws one of those should simply follow the directions. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

4. The Guilty Elf

In this game, your students will ask questions to try and determine which elf committed the Christmas crime. Students play in groups of around four. Each group should have pictures of five different elves (you can also use pictures of Christmas trees, Santa Clauses, etc.). Each group lays their pictures face up on a table where everyone playing can see them. The first player secretly chooses one of the elves as the guilty party and thinks of the Christmas crime he committed. It might be that he stole the presents, kidnapped Rudolph, drugged Santa Clause, etc. You might want to brainstorm with your class what Christmas crimes the elves could have committed. The rest of the players then get 20 questions to determine which elf is guilty and what crime he committed. The questions must be yes/no questions. If the group solves the mystery before their 20 questions are up, they win the round. If they are not able to solve the crime, the player who chose the elf wins. Play until each person has a chance to choose the guilty elf.

5. Christmas Story Recall

How well can your students listen to a story and remember the details they heard? You will know after this challenging Christmas story recall game. Start by telling your students the story of how you got your Christmas tree. Make up your own story or use the following.

My whole family got into the car and drove to the Christmas tree farm.

We picked out a tall, green tree.

We brought the tree home and put it in our living room.

We decorated the tree with lights, ornaments, and a star.

We put presents under the tree.

We heard squeaks coming from the top of the tree.

We looked and found a chipmunk was living in our Christmas tree!

After you have told your students the story two times, challenge their listening comprehension and memories. Ask one detail question about each step of the story, and have students write down their answers. You might ask: Where did we get the Christmas tree? Where did we put the tree in our home? What noise did we hear coming from the tree? Put students in groups of three to check their answers and correct each other as necessary. Then, give each group a copy of the story cut into strips. Have students work together to sequence the events and check the answers to your questions.

6. Pin the Nose on the Reindeer

If you have a free bulletin board in your classroom, use it for this preposition practice game. For your blank board, cut out black paper for eyes and a mouth. Use sticks for antlers or cut them out of paper as well, and arrange them to look like a reindeer's face on your bulletin board. Then, give each student a large red circle, which will be the reindeer's nose. Have each student write their name on their nose. One at a time, blindfold your student, spin them around three times, and then have them place their nose where they think it belongs on your bulletin board reindeer. You can either put tape on the back to make it stick or have your student use a push pin. Remove the blindfold and let the student see where his nose ended up. After everyone in class has had a turn, have students return to their seats and get out a piece of paper. Students will write one sentence about each person's reindeer nose that describes its position. Their sentence should use a preposition of place. You can put a list of prepositions of place on your board to help including above, below, next to, beside, under, and on top of. If necessary, review these prepositions with your students before they write their sentences. Once everyone has finished, collect the sentences and review different options for what they could have written for each student's reindeer nose.

If Santa visited all of the houses of the children in your class on Christmas Eve, how far would he travel. Could you calculate the measurement using a map or online tool?

Computing

Create a game in which Paddington has to deliver Christmas presents to different houses.

Use publishing software to create a 'Wanted' poster for the Christmas present burglar.

Record the rest of the TV news report explaining what was seen on the video.

Design Technology

Create a model of Santa's sleigh.

Design a pop-up book (or a single pop-up page) that tells this story.

Art

Create a storyboard that retells the main events of this story.

Make a picture of snowy rooftops like the ones in the story.

Geography

Make a story map that shows the main events of the story and where they took place.

To celebrate the release of Paddington 2, a 'Pop Up Book' trail appeared around London. Can you plot the location of some of these on a map?

PSHE

What lesson does 'Santa' learn in this story? How does his character change?

WELCOME to the SONG ACTIVITY FACTORY!

There are numerous websites for teachers out there, but here is

the place to be if you believe in the power of using songs to teach English!.

If you're a BELIEVER, here you'll find Creativity, Inspiration, Teaching Ideas and Resources to bring Musical innovation to your English Language Teaching Practice!

Whether you teach English online or not, using songs to teach has a wider scope than you think, and it is not restricted to listening exercises with songs or gap-fill. Check my older posts and don't be afraid to try something new!

This week, SAF features SIA and her marvelous music video for: SNOWMAN!

I hope YOU and your students have a BLAST with it!

Description:

This song-based STEP-BY-STEP LESSON PLAN for ENGLISH language TEACHING features the lyrics and music video for " SNOWMAN" by SIA. Students PLAY a hangman game with a sentence from the song, WATCH a vocabulary video with words related to the music video, SPECULATE on the music genre based on a word cloud, do a JIGSAW VIEWING with the music video, WRITE a short narrative about the video, READ other students' narratives in a collaborative Google Doc, and DO a listening exercise with an interactive worksheet.

OBS: This lesson plan was made for ONLINE TEACHING, but it can be modified for face-to-face instruction, as well.

Language level: B1 and aboveLearner type: All agesSkills: speaking, reading, listening and writingTopic: winter activities, ChristmasLanguage/grammar: narrative sequencing, agreement/disagreementMaterials: YouTube videos (music video and vocabulary video), google slides, collaborative google doc and interactive worksheet.Duration: 1 hour or soDownload your free teaching resources:  instructions; google slides;IMPORTANT: to make a copy of the slides, click on "file", then "make a copy" 🙂collaborative google doc (for you to make a copy you can edit)

FREE MATERIALS AND RESOURCES FOR THIS ACTIVITY:

Check out the video version of this post!

Step 1 (5 min)

Play hangman with the phrase "DON'T CRY, SNOWMAN". You can use this app made with learningapps.org if you prefer>>>> https://learningapps.org/view15331996

Step 2 (3 min)

Play the vocabulary video 2x (send the link to your students via chat box, so they can watch on their devices twice)
Words in the video:
Carrots, stick, snow, snowman, pull cart, pull, push, North Pole, castle, sled,
 melt, ice box

Step 3 (5 min)

Screen-share the word cloud (slide 1) with words from the song Snowman by Sia.

Have students say if they can identify which song you are going to work with.

Ask them to say what kind of song they think it is based on the words.

Step 4 (7 min)

Jigsaw viewing:

Divide the class into two groups, A and B. Group A stays in the main room with you to watch the music video.

Group B goes to the breakout room and waits.

Tell Group A to pay careful attention to the music video because they are going to retell the story to the others.

Step 5 (12 min)

Group B comes back to the main room.

Now pair students from each group: StudentA+ Student B in breakout rooms. Student A retells the story from the video to student B who types it on the notepad or word doc. Give them a time limit of 10 min for the task.

Step 6 (10 min)

Back to the main room, share the link to the collaborative google doc (via chat box) with the designated spaces for the pairs to paste their texts.

Students read all the narratives. Highlight the mistakes, but do not correct them now. Assign the correction for Homework.

Step 7 (5 min)

Play the video again for everyone this time (or send the link for them to watch on their devices), so students in group B can see the video too.

Have some students compare their narratives to the music video. You can also have a vote on the most detailed one.

Step 8 (10 min)

Share the link to the interactive worksheet. Students listen to the song and drag the lyrics to their correct place in the song. To check, tell students to click on FINISH!! and then, CHECK MY RESULTS!

5 Christmas adverts with ideas for class

5 Christmas adverts with ideas for class

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's that time of year again! For some, the run-up to Christmas hasn't yet started in earnest, but for others it's already in full flow: In Britain, Christmas adverts tend to appear on the TV from mid-November onwards, making the countdown to Christmas very long indeed! These short videos are a great resource to use with your students, who will also be starting to feel festive. The adverts often tell a story with a message, contextualise lots of Christmas vocabulary and can be used as an inspiration for student production. In this post I've chosen five new adverts from 2018 and added a few ideas on how to use them in class. Give them a try with your students!

Before watching show pupils screenshots from the video and ask them what they think they are going to see. Then watch to check.

Eg. Where is this little girl? How's she feeling? Why? What's she going to do?

Ask students to write down the names of anything tars, the Queen's speech, tinsel, wise men, Christmas tree, bauble, angels, turkey, gravy boat. Alternatively, pre-teach these words and get students to spot them, or do a match up with screenshots (use the Christmas-related that appears in the video. Answers (probably not an exhaustive list): s snipping tool).

After the show the mum goes to talk to her daughter (the lead singer). What do they say to each other? Imagine the dialogue.

What makes you feel nervous? Why? What do you do to get over the nerves?

What's the proudest you've ever felt of someone?
https://www.theoystercatchers.com/users/169916-saatchi-saatchi/videos/41012-60cut74_revendframe_11_05_14h31-1-1
Watch from 0:05 to 0:53: what's the video's message? (It's explicitly stated at the end and the product advertised at the start gives a clue.) Do you agree?

What shops do you see in the video? Answers: greengrocer's, florist's, gift shop (?), bookshop, butcher's, bakery, toy shop, record shop, sports shop.

What are the advantages and disadvantages for the consumer shopping in A) the highstreet B) big chain stores C) online

Watch Maria Carey's All I want for Christmas is you and hand out the lyrics. Underline all the Christmas vocab (there's a lot). Which of these things do you have in your house? You can also do gap fills, have students unjumble lines from the song or talk about what they would ask for if they could only get one Christmas present, or what they would give if they could give any present.

Find the Christmas items (santa hat, Christmas tree, tinsel, baubles, turkey, presents, fairy lights, stockings, mistletoe...). Or, students write 10 things they expect to see in the video based on screenshots / the start of the video. Then they watch to check.

Compare the house in Florida with the house in London.

How are the bear grandparents feeling at different points in the video? What emotions do they go through?

What would you prefer: to stay at home with your extended family for Christmas, or travel to the Florida Keys with your partner for Christmas? Why?

If you could travel anywhere for Christmas, where would you go? Why?

Stop the video at 1:08. What's he going to listen to? Why do you think so?

If you only had a few minutes left, what would you say and to whom?

PS. You might want to bring tissues to class

PPS. Rather than a big-budget advert commisioned by a company, this one apparently cost £50 to make

Watch up to 0:18. Why is the orangutan angry? (More obvious to older students with greater world knowledge.)

Comprehension: what naughty things does the orangutan do, what are the humans doing to her and what is the little girl going to do to help? Transcription can be found here.

What can ordinary people do to help?
If you use more than one:
What's your favourite and why?
Which advert is the most effective and why?
Is there anything you don't like about any of the adverts?
Make your own Christmas advert
If you like Elton John, the John Lewis Christmas advert is also worth checking out

‘Memoirs of an Elf’ read by Sutton Foster

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
It’s Christmas Eve and Spark Elf has the very important job of keeping Santa Claus on schedule as he travels the globe in 24 hours delivering presents. Small in stature with pointy ears and stopwatch in hand, Spark lets Santa know it’s time to go. He programs the GPS while the other elves secure the toy bag and check the Nice list. Little known fact: We don’t even bring the Naughty list with us. Six hours into the trip Santa, sleigh and crew begin to fall behind--so many cuddly doggies to pet and extra cookies to eat. The jolly group makes up time in Brazil and soon find themselves back at the North Pole. Their work is done. But wait, there’s something left in the bag--but it isn’t a present at all--it’s a family dog! Well known fact: Santa gives things away. He does not take things! Momma Claus comes to the rescue with a plan to get the dog back to his family. Can Santa return the family’s beloved pooch in time to keep their Christmas merry?
