Merry christmas

December is coming! Holidays are near but we have to prepare them well with the children. For this we have made some activities. The first one is an introduction to Christmas time, in this case a small story about a snowman. 

After reading it kids were concious that Christmas is coming and wanted to be prepared. I read the story in a particular way because I used prezi in order to teach children about the new technologies. It is an unsual way, they were motivated and heard the story without speaking. 

Here you have the prezi I hope you have fun reading it! 

Carols

After reading the story kids wanted to celebrate Christmas so I thought it was a good chance to sing some traditional carols that most of the children love. They are very easy and popular, but most of the kids only know them in spanish that is why it is important to practise them at school in order to potenciate the language. 

Kids love to sing and had a good time singing and know they are able to sing the song without lyrics. You have to practise them during the whole month, so they will know them for Christmas. 

Here you have some explames of the carols I choose for my classroom. I think this are easy for the children and they can understand them. 

I hope you like them and have a good time singing with your kids!

Christmas puppets

This is one of the last classes before Christmas and I have decided to do some papper puppets and make a small theater, in order to have fun. 

The first things is that children must choose one or two puppets and colored the way they want. Afterwards they painted them with beautiful colors and paste them together. 

When the puppets were finished they create a small theater that they did infront of their classmate with a topic related to Christmas. 

Children had fun and practise a lot of English with this activity!

I hope you like this idea and try it with your class. Merry Christmas!
