Hanukkah Kwanzaa Christmas Diwali ESCAPE ROOM
By Language Arts Excellence
This activity features a meaningful and inclusive escape room in which students tackle 5 Language Arts skills-based puzzles about the winter holidays: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and Diwali!
There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock!

Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!
Where this lesson truly shines is its objective: to help students on their journey to becoming global citizens as they learn about the holidays of diverse cultures and religions around the world. Being more culturally aware has become increasingly important in a world that seems to be getting smaller as we get more connected. As we build relationships with people from other cultures and religions, it is necessary to have some perspective of where we are all coming from which ultimately helps us to acknowledge how much we have in common.

Christmas Collaborative Writing Activity
By Language Arts Excellence
Celebrate the Christmas season with this engaging communal story-telling activity!
"Christmas Collaborative Story Time" is a communal story-telling activity in which students practice using Freytag's Pyramid plot structure in their own narrative writing. In this activity, each student begins a story inspired by a unique Christmas picture or photograph. They are prompted to write the exposition of the tale by introducing the setting and main characters. After the allotted amount of time, the story is then passed to another student who is prompted to write the inciting incident or conflict and begin to detail the rising action. The paper is passed from student to student twice more until the story is resolved. When the stories are finished, the worksheet is returned to the original student who can then make edits and is responsible for producing a final draft.
With this intrinsically engaging activity, each student has the chance to tap into their creativity while applying knowledge of the 7 steps of Freytag's Pyramid. It is a great activity to introduce or reinforce the plot diagram and is perfect for getting students in the Christmas spirit. Since it runs itself, the lesson is also great for substitute plans or on those days when you need a quick plan to get you through the day. I trust you will find that your students will ask for this activity again and again!

French Christmas Role Play Skit - Listening and Reading Comprehension - Noël
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
French Christmas skit - Listening and reading comprehension - Noël
This is a French dialogue about Christmas between two people. The title of this skit is Le Père Noël est occupé. Short skits or dialogues like this one can be used in many ways during the weeks leading up to Christmas.
I've included a 4 step lesson plan which includes listening comprehension, reading comprehension, answering comprehension questions, and acting out the skit with a partner or in small groups.
This skit can also be used as an individual reading comprehension assessment. 14 reading comprehension questions are included. Check out all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom here.
The skit can be printed on one side of a sheet of paper and the questions on the other for a really easy, no prep Christmas activity. The grammar level is intermediate.

French Noël - Christmas Speaking Activity - Vocabulary - Communication Orale
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
Looking for a fun and engaging way to practice speaking about Noël - Christmas in French with your core and immersion students? Wish you had a way to improve la communication orale in your French class? This is the activity you've been looking for!
These French speaking prompt cards are perfect for reinforcing grammar, vocabulary, and getting your students to speak French together! Very low prep. Just print and cut out the cards and you're ready to go! Check out my Noël - French Taboo Speaking Game for another fun way to get your students speaking about this theme.
30 question cards are included. Almost all of the est-ce que questions are asked in the tu form and require students to reply using je. Some of the questions encourage oui and non responses, but never without pushing for a bit more information like asking pourquoi. The questions include le présent, le passé composé et le futur proche.
This resource is included in my French Noël Bundle.
Included:
All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities.
Read about all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom.
There are many ways you can use this set of speaking cards:
➤ Print, cut out, laminate , punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
