These units are especially helpful if you want to use CI but:

Activities based on the video "What is Hanukkah?"
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Hanukkah — which can also be written as Chanukah or through various transliterations from Hebrew — is the “festival of lights” in Judaism. For eight nights in a row, Jews come together with relatives and friends to light one more candle in the menorah — a multi-armed candelabrum.
In Hebrew, Hanukkah signifies “dedication,” and this festival commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem during the 2nd century BC, after a tiny band of Jewish warriors freed it from foreign occupying forces. Using the small amount of ritually pure oil discovered in the temple, they kindled the menorah — and it remained lit for eight days. The tradition of igniting a nightly candle, along with the focus on preparing dishes in oil like potato pancakes known as latkes, honors this astonishingly enduring oil.
This comprises a series of tasks centered around the video "What is Hanukkah?". The solutions can be located at the conclusion of the book.

Activities on “13 Differences You Experience At Christmas In Australia"
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
The sun is shining, the mood is upbeat, and Christmas makes the perfect backdrop for those long-awaited visits to distant friends and family. As you might expect, many UK and European Christmas traditions are replicated in Australia. In some ways, however, festive seasons Down Under are very different.
While Europeans might wish for snow, Australians hope for clear skies to make the most of the summer sun. Some years, the thermometer can soar to 40°C almost anywhere in the country. As a result, spending at least part of Christmas at the beach is a popular tradition for residents and visitors alike. Not snow, but sand, sea, surfing, snorkelling, and stunning sunsets are all key ingredients in a perfect Australian Christmas.
Watch the video “13 Differences You Experience At Christmas In Australia" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnyYlM\_ryE8) with your students and do the activities that follow. The video highlights the differences, and your students will be definitely curious to hear about them!
Lesson based on 'Last Christmas' by Wham!
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
If you are a teacher, whether an English teacher or not, and are seeking enjoyable activities for the days before the Christmas break when students are antsy, then this lesson is perfect for you!
This lesson is focused on the beloved Christmas tune 'Last Christmas' by the famous British duo Wham! The song, in fact, has very little connection to Christmas! The focus is primarily on a relationship that didn't work out and encountering the person again a year later. Just the phrase 'Last Christmas' relates to the holiday season, signaling the climax of the relationship. Nevertheless, it continues to be chosen as the most beloved Christmas song.
The lesson offers detailed guidance for the instructor and a variety of exercises to help students practice their four skills. You can choose to use either the audio or video version of the song. Both the necessary photocopy worksheets and the solutions to the tasks are included.

Core French Beginner Children's Stories Videos and Worksheets | Francais
By Jennifer
2 French Children's Story Videos (Petit Poulet and L'Oiseau et la baleine) from The French Experiment are linked.
For your beginner Core French class, I recommend having students watch one of the videos in French first with no subtitles. Have them try to answer as many questions as possible from the accompanying worksheet. You might want to play the video at .75x speed if you teach elementary students.
Next, play the video once more, this time with subtitles. Students will be able to fill in the blanks they missed the first time around.
The last question for each of the stories allow students to think critically about the lesson each story teaches.
The worksheets are in English. The videos are in French.
I found this allows students to think about what they are watching more carefully, learning more French words along the way.
An answer key is not included, but the questions are very simple and you will be able to answer them easily after watching the video. I wrote the answers while watching the videos along with the students.
The French Experiment offers these two French videos for free. The rest are on a paid version. You can check it out below.

Activities for the video “The Story of the Mayflower" for Elementary Students
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
After trade and communication between Europe and the Americas began following Columbus's voyage in 1492, many Europeans began to seek opportunities in the New World. One such group, now known as the Pilgrims, sailed from England to North America in 1620.
In 1620 the Mayflower crossed from England to North America. Filled to the brim with passengers, livestock, and supplies, they faced many delays before finally reaching the shores of the New World. The Pilgrims suffered and many of them died to establish a settlement in what is now Massachusetts, but through cooperation with local tribes of Native Americans they were eventually able to thrive.
Watch the excellent video “The Story of the Mayflower and the First Thanksgiving for Children” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brqIER2KHbE) with your students, and then do the activities in this ebook. The answers are available at the end of the book, as well as plenty of guidance for the teacher in the Teacher's notes.
Activities for the video “History of Thanksgiving” for Elementary Students
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
For many Americans, the Plymouth Massachusetts pilgrims serve as the emblematic influence for the modern Thanksgiving celebration. Following the winter of 1620 that resulted in the deaths of nearly half of their population, the colonists established aconnection with the nearby tribe, which educated them on fishing, agriculture, and hunting.
Even though Thanksgiving festivities trace back to the early European colonies in America, it was only in the 1860s that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the final Thursday of November as a national holiday.
This ebook includes a variety of hands-on activities for Elementary students to engage in after viewing the video "History of the Holidays: History of Thanksgiving" produced by the well-regarded History Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lslqtUMwDxA. The activities accommodate all types of learners and will definitely keep your students engaged and eager to learn more about this American tradition.
The book offers extensive support for the teacher at the back, including Teacher's Notes and the corresponding answers to the exercises.
Activities on the video “Biography: Santa Claus” for Elementary Students
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
By November 1st, Santa Claus is everywhere, but you probably didn’t know that Santa wasn’t always the fat man in the red suit. In fact, Santa didn't get his iconic, jolly look until Thomas Nast, a political cartoonist, drew him that way. Before the 1860s, Santa was represented as everything, from a jolly elf to a tall gaunt man. In central Europe, Santa was even depicted alongside the Krampus, a devilish figure who punishes bad children.
This enlightening video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO0MzHu3Tuw) by the acclaimed History Channel, describes how Santa Claus took the form we now know due to the creativity of New Yorker cartoonist Thomas Nast. Watch the video with your students, with or without subtitles, and then do the activities that follow in this ebook. There are activities for all kinds of learners, especially the younger ones.
At the back of the book, you will find detailed Teacher's Notes with directions about the activities, as well as the Answer key.
Activities for the video "Evolution of Santa Claus" for Elementary
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
This ebook contains a number of activities that have been tailored specifically to accompany the YouTube video "Evolution of Santa Claus", from the acclaimed History Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO6a6Ue2z5I. It is aimed for Elementary school students, though older students will also find it interesting.
The video shows how the modern image of Santa Claus has been refined again and again. New York City has shaped the modern secular Christmas we now celebrate more than any other city in the world. It's really because of the efforts of two very gifted New Yorkers who lived there in the 1800s that the jolly character known as Santa Claus came to life and is now loved by millions of children around the world.
Watch first the video with your students, with or without subtitles if necessary, and then proceed to do the activities in this ebook. For every activity there are Teacher's Notes and suggested answers.
