I am a teacher and I just published a blog post with ideas on what teachers can do with the students and then I thought, ” Hey waht about mums and dads?”. So, I have adapted my blog post and have written a post with ideas on what you can do with your kids. Here are some ideas 😀

• Christmas/holidays around the world project: Get your kids to find information about how Christmas is celebrated around the world. It may be a good idea to do some research on how people in Australia celebrate cause it is summer over there :). You can also send your them to this website  and ask them to  out.

•  Sock Snowman: Make a snowman out of a sock.

 

• 3D paper tree: Again time for some video-viewing. Make some 3D paper trees and decorate your house with them.

• Christmas gingerbread men streamers. Get a string of paper and get each student to draw a gingerbread man. Then cut out the men and make a hole on the top of the paper and hang it in your house.

• Make gingerbread men: watch  the recipe with your children and then make  gingerbread men.

• Make decorative banners using various Christmas Fonts with your kidss. You can find free Christmas fonts here.
  
• Online Christmas trivia: Get your kids to answer questions about the holidays.This can be done online. You can find the quiz here.

 

• Pin Rudolph’s red nose. How do you play? Find a picture of Rudolph online, blindfold your kids, turn them round in circles for a bit, and then ask them to pin Rudolph’s nose. This activity is loads of fun and young ones. 

 

• How about watching a movie related to the holidays? Here are some movie ideas:

The Polar Express

Home Alone

Frosty the Snowman

Miracle on 34th Street

The Muppet Christmas Carol

It is a wonderful life

• Go to audible.com and use the free trial option to listen to Charles Dickens audiobook (it is 2hrs 54 mins long).

• Play Christmas word snake. How is this played? Each person takes turns to write a word connected to holiday season on the board. The final letter of A’s word is the first letter of  B’s word.

                                     Christmas

                                                       Santa

                                                                 Angel

                                                                           Lantern   

• Time to make a card for the Holidays! You can find templates here or improvise!!

 

• Play Holiday season Bingo (make word or picture Bingo cards). You can find templates here.
