christmas games for kids(小学生圣诞节游戏).doc

Here are some games which we associate with parties and Christmas celebrations in UK schools. These games can be adapted for language learners of all ages and levels. Pass the parcel (Whole class/mixed-ability groups) Prepare 5-6 boxes or envelopes decorated or wrapped with Christmas paper. In each parcel put a group activity with a Xmas theme for students to try e.g. a word search, a dialogue to practise, a questionnaire to ask each other, a poem to read aloud. Spread the boxes around the class and students can work through each parcel, passing them around. Good for two lessons or a double period as well. Suggestions for parcel activities at different levels: Younger learners? A Christmas card to colour in (by numbers, following the instructions) or a kit to make one with the words Happy Christmas from… inside. A dialogue with very simple words missing e.g. Santa talking to a child (complete the dialogue and practise) or a silly quiz e.g. Christmas colours: What colour is Santa’s beard - White, brown or black What colour are Christmas trees? Etc. A simple questionnaire: What would you like for Christmas? Where do you spend Xmas? What’s your favourite Christmas food? Pictures of food, drink and other words to match to word cards Lower levels (teens): A Christmas word search with a list of Christmas words to find in the grid A jumbled dialogue (between the innkeeper and Mary and Joseph? Or in a shop buying Xmas presents) Jumbled interview between famous person/pop star on Xmas habits/likes/dislikes which can be reordered and acted out. Higher levels (teens and older) Discussion cards to work through as a group (see suggestions of topics in the Essential UK Christmas special) A gap-fill Christmas pop song (give the words to match to the gaps to make this easier) Role cards to act out improvised conversations e.g You are given an awful/strange present by a relative/boyfriend. Student B is the relative who is watching you open the gift. Act out your conversation. Santa’
