Teacher Guide
Talk about the Christmas holiday and help the students to choose adjectives to describe the items pictured. Have them read their sentences out loud (the whole sentence not just the words they wrote).
10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions: What's your name, age, and where are you from? Have you got any brothers or sisters? Ask questions to each student in a circle. When a student has answered the question, they must ask the next person in the circle the same question.
Choose a student to stand up, and ask the other students: What's his/her name? Where is he/she from? Where is he/she from? Repeat this process until every student has had a turn.
10mins: Review: 'Days of the week' - Ask each student what their favourite day of the week is, and what they do on that day.
10mins: Review: Christmas vocabulary - Christmas tree, snowman, presents, father Christmas, stocking.
- Write these words as a list on the whiteboard. Then, write a list of adjectives on the board, and ask students to come one at a time, drawing a line to link a Christmas word with an appropriate adjective.
10mins: Worksheet: 13 Christmas writing
15min: Activity: Christmas card - Have students draw the Christmas vocabulary on a piece of paper and label them. Have students copy a special Christmas message such as 'Happy Christmas' or 'Santa is coming'.
05mins: Warm Down: Goodbye + points
