Christmas classroom ideas

As Christmas is approaching, I thought I’d share a list of Christmas themed activities. These can be done both in class and on Zoom, depending on how you are currently teaching!

1. Enjoy mince pies and a hot drink. (Everyone can bring their own for health and safety reasons). How festive!
2. Drink hot chocolate with marshmallows. – A nice activity for lunch times/ break. Depending on the age group you teach and allergies, permission may be needed.
3. Christmas Quiz. – Is it even Christmas without the classic Christmas quiz?
4. Christmas Jumper contest. – This could be fun on Zoom, who has the best/ worst Christmas jumper.
5. Make Christmas decorations. – From paper snowflakes to paper rings, everyone can enjoy some relaxing crafting to alleviate the stress of 2020!
6. DIY Christmas cards. -Follow PapercutbuttonsHK for inspiration.
7. Make popcorn and watch a Christmas film. – I love The Holiday and The Princess Switch.
8. Write down resolutions and share. – A good literacy activity!
9. Make Christmas crackers. – Or try eco friendly sock crackers!
10. Write a letter to relatives. – We may not get to see all of our loved ones this year. Have your students write their relatives a letter, so they know they are thought of.
