Today I'm going to talk about my top seven ESL Christmas games and activities. If you want to have a fun class leading up to Christmas or even if you're in a country where Christmas is not a public holiday but you want to celebrate it with your students, here are some great ideas. This is one that I love to do on almost all holidays, valentine's day, Halloween, Christmas, etc. Get a bunch of candies and put them in a jar but first count the number of candies as you're putting them into the jar. And then I let every student at my school or in my classes or however you want to do it. They get to guess how many candies there are in the jar. The winner gets to take it home or share with their classmates, whatever they would like to do. Number two: I get students to make Christmas cards. So I show them some examples of Christmas cards, some sayings, some pictures, etc. And then I have them make their own to give to a family member or friend, a classmate, or even their teacher. If they want to give me their Christmas card, they can. All right number three, Home Alone. It's a classic movie that people watch around Christmas time. Students love it and there are a ton of activities and games you can do along with it so just have a look for like Home Alone ESL worksheet or something like that and you can find like a million things that are already made. It's super easy to do with your students. Number four is charades or Pictionary. So charades is acting, Pictionary is drawing. So I get students to act out Christmas-themed vocabulary or for higher-level students, sentences like, I'm wrapping presents, or, Santa is going down the chimney, etc. It depends on the level of students but this is quite a fun game to play in class. The next one. I love to use crosswords in my classes and the easiest way to make your own is discovery.com puzzle maker so just have a search for that: discovery.com puzzle maker and you can put in the exact vocabulary in hints that you would like and then it makes this really nice crossword puzzle for your students to do. Of course, have a google search too. There are a ton that are already online that other teachers have done. The next one: Christmas carols. So I find that students really like singing. I am not musical and I do not like singing. However, students love it. Thankfully there is Youtube. Put up youtube, and do a little karaoke. There are a whole bunch of Christmas carols with lyrics already done for you. And finally, word association (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTDWlRTYfHA&t=1s). So this is kind of a nice warm-up activity if students already know a good bit of Christmas vocabulary. Put Christmas in the center. It's kind of like a mind map and students will shout out related words: presents, Christmas trees, Santa, reindeer, etc. It's a good way to help students activate prior knowledge. So those are my fun ESL Christmas activities.
