Christmas is coming so here’s a full
Christmas lesson plan to get into the Holiday
mood with your students.
Objectives:
-Recognize and identify words, learn new vocabulary,
sing Christmas Carol.
-Work in small groups and write their own version of
the song and use their imagination.
-Share their work with classmates.
Warm up
As a warm up, we could ask our students which their favourite Christmas carols are and why.
We could also go through dates and ask questions like
for instance:
When is Christmas Eve? 24th December.
When is New Year’s Day? 1st January. And so on…
Twelve
Days of Christmas
1-Watch the following video, listen to the Christmas
carol with lyrics and sing-along.
2-When you finish singing. Try to remember the words
and match them with the right numbers.
- Twelve geese
- Seven partridge in a pear tree
- Eight maids milking
- Five French hens
- Six turtle doves
- Ten calling birds
- Three golden rings
- Nine swans
- A drummer drumming
- Four lords leaping
- Two ladies dancing
- Eleven pipers piping
3- Ask the students to work in groups or individually
in order to think and write their version of the song but changing the
sentence: “On the first day of Christmas my teacher gave to me…” Once they have
finished they can share their work with the rest of their classmates.
4- The teacher sings to motivate their students and asks
them to sing along with her (giving handouts with the lyrics of the carol and
extra worksheets about the carol).

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!
What a good job, Nuria! The blog is full of really interesting and enjoyable ideas, activities and resources that I will use in my classes.
ResponderEliminarI have chosen your last post because Christmas time is approaching and I think the way you have planned this lesson is really good as you practice different skills such as speaking, listening and reading.
It is also quite clear that you have tried to motivate the children in many different ways with videos, songs, games, printables to colour, the possibility of using flashcards…etc.
I am quite sure children will enjoy this lesson a lot.
