Christmas, the most popular holiday in English-speaking countries, is celebrated on December 25th. On Christmas Eve (December 24), children and adults sing Christmas carols (carols). This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when beggars in search of money and food wandered the streets, singing holiday songs. Also on Christmas Eve, children hang stockings on the fireplace or on the edge of the bed so that Santa Claus will put his gifts there.

On Christmas morning everyone opens their presents and later the family gathers for a traditional Christmas dinner consisting of Brussels sprouts, fried potatoes with roast turkey, roast beef or goose. Sweet cake or Christmas pudding are served for dessert.

The next day, December 26th, is Boxing Day. There are several versions explaining the name of the second day of Christmas. The most popular of them associate this day with the tradition of giving gifts to the poor, making donations to the local church and rewarding servants: on December 26, boxes with such gifts and donations were traditionally opened.

Christmas celebrations are always accompanied by songs, dances, noisy parties and, of course, games, riddles and quizzes. Try these fun Christmas games with your children.

More games (though in English) can be found on Christmas Games & Activities and Kid's Zone

Pass the parcel
Pass the parcel

Prepare 5-6 boxes or envelopes decorated or wrapped in Christmas paper. In each box (envelope) put several tasks on a Christmas theme, for example, guess a Chinese word, act out a dialogue, ask each other questions, read a poem out loud. Distribute boxes (envelopes) around the class, and the guys, taking out one task at a time, work, passing the package around.

Sock Guessing Game
Guess what's in the sock

For this game you will need a pair of thick socks. In each of them, put 10-20 items related to Christmas (Christmas tree branch, tape, pine cone, coin, Christmas tree decoration, tinsel, etc.). The items must be the same in both socks. Tie each sock tightly with a ribbon. Give the children a piece of paper. Passing socks around, the children write down the items they were able to feel. Two socks will make the game a little more dynamic. The winner is the one who guesses the most items.

Who's Santa?
Who's Santa?

Rudolph the reindeer is waiting for Santa to deliver gifts to the children. He needs to find Santa, who is hiding. Sit all the children in a circle. Choose one child - he will be Rudolph. Rudolph leaves the room, and the children sitting in a circle choose Santa. Rudolph returns and stands in the center of the circle. Santa starts winking at the kids. The one who received the wink should loudly shout "HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas!" Once Santa is found, the game starts over.

Find Santa's Reindeer
Find Santa's reindeer!

Santa's reindeer had a big party last night and now Santa doesn't know where they are. He needs help finding the deer. The one who finds the most deer wins. For this game you need to hide pictures or figurines of deer throughout the room. One can be hidden under the table leg, another in gifts, a third on the Christmas tree, etc. You can give reindeer as a gift at the end of the game.

Gift Wrap Relay
Relay "Wrapping a Gift"

Prepare two small boxes of the same size, sheets of wrapping paper for each player. Beautifully pack boxes for each team. It's funny when boxes contain something rustling or rattling.

Divide the children into teams. Each team member runs to their box, unwraps it and wraps it again in their own sheet of wrapping paper located on the table. He then returns to his team to pass the turn to the next player. The team that completes this task the fastest wins.

The Siamese Twin gift-wrap
Siamese twins wrapping a gift

At the beginning of the game, divide the children into twos. You will need wrapping paper, ribbon and everything else needed to wrap the gift. A cardboard box or book is ideal as a “gift”. All this is placed in front of each double team.

Teams need to wrap the gift while standing side by side with one free hand. The other hand can be placed behind the back or placed on the other's waist. The idea is that one only uses his left hand and the other only uses his right. The team that wraps the “gift” faster and more accurately than the rest wins.

Santa's sack
Santa's bag

Prepare everyday items of different sizes and shapes. Wrap them in Christmas paper and put them in a bag. The kids take turns taking out the wrapped objects and get points if they can guess the pulled out objects. Older children ask: “It could be a mobile phone. It might be a calculator...etc.” Younger children may say: "I think it"s a..." or ask "Is it a/an...?"

Christmas Theme Chinese Whispers
Chinese whispers on a Christmas theme

The well-known game “Broken Phone”, which can be given a Christmas touch. Divide the children into two teams and seat them in two rows. If there are few children, you don’t have to divide them into teams.

Prepare cards with holiday-themed suggestions ahead of time. For example:
"Rudolf likes Christmas pudding on Mondays"
"Roast turkey is a traditional food for Christmas"
"Mrs. Claus likes plum pudding on Friday"
"Children can find different gifts in their stockings"

At the beginning of the game, let the first child in each row read his sentence. Then he returns to his team (row) and whispers it into the ear of the next player, who whispers it into the next player’s ear, and so on. Each participant can say a sentence only once. When the message reaches the last player in a row, he must say it out loud. There are usually no winners and losers because it's just fun to listen to distorted messages.

Christmas Carol Chaos
"Compote" from Christmas songs

This team game does not require a specific number of players, but does require a good knowledge of Christmas songs (you can choose).

Divide all the children into teams. Each team sends its player to the host, who gives them the name of some Christmas song (Xmas carol). The children return to their teams and try to imitate the Christmas carol by drawing it on paper. Once a team guesses the song, they must sing it loudly. After singing, the children send a new player for another song. The first team to guess five Christmas songs wins.

Christmas Tree
Christmas tree

A group of children sits in a circle with the leader in the center. Each child has a Christmas-themed card attached to their circle: Star, Bauble, Tinsel, Angel, Snowflake, etc. There must be at least two cards with the same name in a circle.

The presenter calls the word. For example, snowflakes. Snowflakes jump up and change places. And so with every word. But if the leader shouts "Christmas Tree" all the children must jump up and change places. This game is very fast and energetic. Both senior and junior schoolchildren love to play it. It brings children together.

The test for the most persistent students!

Choose one correct answer in every sentence.

Prepared for us Olga, author of a thematic website for children and adults English Language Club and blog Little nothings of life. Olga shared a great find, and since it’s December, it’s especially important that it’s New Year’s Eve.

There is a widespread belief among parents that the days immediately before and after the holidays are not the best time to study a foreign language. These days, many are freeing their children from any exposure to English in order to immerse themselves in the holiday bustle.

Meanwhile, practice shows that this opinion is wrong. And today I will try to convince you that it can just become that “magic kick-off” that can awaken your child’s dormant motivation to learn English.

Let's put aside all the textbooks, audio and video recordings and workbooks - and take a look around. Which of the real, not book, characters speak English? Of course, Santa! And if your child knows not one, but two whole languages ​​(even if he knows only a few words from the second), he has every right to receive two gifts in the New Year: from and. You agree with me?

True, in the case of Santa Claus there is one tiny “but”: he does not understand a word of Russian. So if your child wants to write him a letter, he will have to do it in English - but you will help him, right? Here you have both spelling practice and eyes burning with impatience - two, as it seemed before, absolutely incompatible things.

By the way, if you don’t know where Santa lives, I’ll secretly share the address with you - after all, that’s what you’ll have to indicate on the envelope:

Santa Claus
1 Reindeer Lane
North Pole

It was from this address that my daughter received a letter last year:

Do you know what Santa wrote to her? He suggested to Dasha that he create one with his own hands, to which the elves could bring tasks every day. We settled on a version made from cardboard cubes, which my daughter signed herself, at the same time understanding the differences between even and odd numbers, and also making significant progress in counting:

Santa kept his word: the tasks actually arrived every day throughout December. And all of them, naturally, were in English. And now, a year later, I can say with confidence: believe me, if Santa asks your child to learn, dance to or draw a picture using the colors named in the letter (blue, red, yellow, brown, green, purple etc.), your child you won't have to ask twice.

Here is our list of tasks from Santa last year - I will be glad if it is useful to you:

This year, my daughter herself sat down to write letters to both Father Frost and Santa. And she no longer needs tasks - she herself knows what she can do in preparation for the New Year. But she is really looking forward to answers from both and, of course, the ordered gifts.

By the way, gifts from them also come in different ways: Santa Claus usually puts his surprise under the Christmas tree, and Santa - this funny and wonderful grandfather - out of habit puts his surprise in a sock hanging on the wall or a boot sewn specially for this purpose:

I wonder if you are one of those mothers who uses preparations for the New Year and other holidays to stimulate your child’s interest in learning the English language and the culture of English-speaking countries?

Young children love to play, but it is a mistake to think that they do not like to learn at all. They love it if you teach them not in boring ways, but with the help of fun games, pictures, cubes, and visual aids with illustrations. The tasks that you will see below were created specifically by American teachers. There is nothing special there, it’s just from these pictures and cubes that little Americans recognize the words symbolizing Christmas and New Year.

Learning any language for a child is, first of all, the alphabet. to some extent even easier than Russian, and many well-illustrated manuals will help you make learning it fun and memorable.

English for children in pictures on the topic of New Year and Christmas - this is an archive with different files, where there are both coloring pages and diagrams of New Year's cubes, which you can print and glue together with your child. Before the Christmas holidays last year, I published various tasks for children. and additional bonus tasks on the Merry Christmas theme for children can be viewed here. Some tasks require communication and contact with the child, such as coloring or connecting numbers will give you the opportunity to do your thing while the child draws.

Almost all files are in pdf format, which is very convenient for printing and viewing. English cards for children, diagrams of cubes, a New Year's poster, lined New Year's sheets for writing New Year's words and other tasks - all in one archive.
