Christmas Review Lesson
Class time needed for lesson: ~50 minutes
Class size taught: ~32 students
Target audience: JHS (worksheet aimed at 1st year, but the same games should work for any grade level, elementary or JHS)
Objective: To introduce Christmas topics and games to the students while reviewing grammar that they have learned this semester.
目的：今学期に学んだ文法を復習しながら、クリスマスの話題やゲームを紹介する
Materials: Worksheet (I provide my 1st year's as an example), a bag or container of some kind (e.g. a cheap stocking from Daiso), enough scrap paper for each student to write something, and a (printed) present for each student in the class.
Procedure: Open with Wishlist Mixup! A simple activity where the students write something they want for Christmas on a strip of paper and then all of the papers are mixed in a container. The students then pick out strips and try to figure out (USING ENGLISH!) who wrote each wish. It should be a quick game that gets them up and moving, and asking each other, “Do you want … ?”
Next, give out the Christmas worksheet. Ideally this is a mix of Christmas topics and English review. I include my own as an example, feel free to use part or all of it if you want. This worksheet was made with first year Sunshine textbooks in mind.
Lastly, after the worksheet, play a game of White Elephant. For this, I printed off 30+ pictures of the top purchased presents on Amazon.com. For fun, I also included a couple pictures of coal. All of the pictures may be put in a container or wrapped like real gifts. The first student can pick a present, either pulling it from your container or unwrapping a gift if you went that far. He/she shows the class and tells them what it is. (e.g. “It's a Jacket.”
From then on, each student chooses to pick a new present or to steal one from someone who has already gone (e.g. “I want a new present.” or “I want the ...”). If a student decides to steal a present, then the person that he/she steals from will open a new present instead. To prevent a really popular item from being stolen every single turn, each item can only be stolen a total of three times. After that, the item is locked with whoever stole it the third time.
Additional information: My worksheet focuses somewhat on third person grammar and pronouns since I noticed my own students having some issues with those areas. Please tailor the worksheet to whatever you need.
