Christmas Games Esl

Q: game ideas?I am an ESL teacher in Japan and need ideas for Christmas party. About 200 kids and parents will be attending. Each table has a teacher and 10 people. I already thought of bingo.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.


A: Have a trivia competition with a christmassy theme and each table could earn certain amounts of points for different questions. This would be very fun with such a large amount of people.

Another thing i thought of was a christmas carol

Holiday Sudoku and ESL Christmas games | ESL For All

I shot this video after school on my own time, with student volunteers who helped me out before going home. I briefly go over 3 easy games you can play and adapt to a holiday or Christmas theme. I use the points-under-the-flashcards game ALL the time – especially with large or combined classes- it’s an easy way to get my shogakusei paying attention and rooting for their team. The magnet/sticker game sometimes works best if you have smaller or alternate stickers to give to the “losers” or all the kids who didn’t get a chance to pick a card. Sometimes I ask a simple question, like “2+2=?” in English to pick the student who gets to pick a card for a try at a sticker, so they have to “earn” it a little, but sometimes I just pick a random number or let the HRT pick. Holiday Sudoku is found here: crafts.kaboose.com They have a harder one with the word “wreath” that I will use next week, since the “snow” one
