Christmas

Introduction

We celebrate Christmas in the twenty five of December. It´s a date when all people stay with their families and also with the persons who they love. The night before Christmas there is a man who distributes presents to the kids that have had a good behavior during the year. This man is called Santa Claus and is an old man who has a white beard and is dressed with red clothes, but, we can´t see him because if we do, they won´t give us our presents.

To work in this topic we are going to propose five activities.

Activities

•  Dominoes: It´s good to practice the vocabulary. With this kind of game they can see the picture and also the word so; playing again and again they will finally learn the vocabulary of the topic that we are working in. Also, kids use to enjoy this game, so it´s a good way to learn more English.  

• Memory: At the same that dominoes is a good game to practice and learn the vocabulary. And, like dominoes, childrens like to play with this games, so, they can enjoy them learning.

•  Riddle: Other activity is to propose a riddle. In this case, kids can memorize the riddle and find the correct answer. It´s good to acquire more vocabulary and oral resources.

Who is coming on Christmas night?

Who is coming on Christmas night?

With a red, red coat and hair all white?

Eyes that sparkle like a starry night?

I know. Don’t you?

Who has a bag all filled with toys?

With wonderful things for girls and boys?

Who has a sleigh that makes no noise?

I know. Don’t you?

• Nursery Rhymes: There are a lot of songs about Christmas and kids use to like them a lot, so, we can teach them with this about this other culture or customs, and of course, they can learn more oral resources which is important to the memory, vocabulary and pronunciation. We have decided to put this song but, there are a lot of them, so, you can decide what you want to use with your pupils.

Here we go round the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree.
Here we go round the Christmas tree,
on Christmas day in the morning.


This is the way we open our presents,
Open our presents, open our presents.
This is the way we open our presents,
On Christmas day in morning.


Here we go round the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree.
Here we go round the Christmas tree,
on Christmas day in the morning.


This is the way we open our presents,
Open our presents, open our presents.
This is the way we open our presents,
On Christmas day in morning.
