Christmas across the globe
Christmas is a holiday that’s celebrated right around the world, so it’s a great opportunity for you to teach your pupils about the different ways in which other cultures engage with the Christmas tradition. For example, why not try working a Christmas exploration into your next geography lesson by putting your class into groups and tasking them with finding out how a specific country celebrates Christmas?
Christ-maths activities
Maths is notorious for being a subject that school pupils famously find difficult to engage with, so by putting a Christmassy spin on your maths lessons, your students might find the lesson a little bit more digestible! One idea would be to create a Christmas present themed maths challenge, where you place some small, wrapped gifts around your classroom, each one with a maths problem on them, and your students can only open the gift if they figure out the problem. This is a great option because it provides your pupils with a tangible reward for solving the problem, which motivates them to put the effort in to solve it.
Christmas card writing
We’d highly recommend this classic Christmas activity within the classroom, as it encourages giving and kindness, as well as offering your pupils the opportunity to show off their handwriting skills. It’s the perfect way to bring some festive cheer to your English lessons, and if you wanted to get even more creative, you could order some blank cards and encourage your pupils to design their very own Christmas cards. That way, they can create a personalised card for whoever they like.
