We have lots of Christmas activities for younger learners on the site. This week we feature a lesson for very young learners where children practise Christmas words with flashcard activities and games, listen to and sing a Christmas song, then they make a Christmas card.

This lesson plan for teenagers of all ages and adults uses a short, two-minute video to look at the concept of giving and receiving gifts at Christmas. The video focuses on shoppers at a shopping centre, or shopping mall, who are given a present but then told that it is not for them. Students will use creativity and analysis to predict unknown facts in addition to developing fluency and writing skills.

Every year as Christmas approaches, thousands of charities launch appeals, asking for donations. Christmas is a time of giving and it is a time when many charities raise a large proportion of their total annual income. With so many charities to choose from how can we decide which one to donate to? In this activity learners will imagine the class has £100 to donate. They will work in groups to decide which of four charities they should give the money to.
