![]() For the spell to be broken, another student must hold an orange ball, the sun, over the head of the frozen statue for five seconds. If tagged by Jack or his buddy, students freeze into a crazy frozen statue. Jack Frost and his buddy are trying to freeze all the children into ice statues. The Who then attempts to get another present.Ĭlick the picture for a video of the game! If a Who makes it all the way to the presents without getting tagged, she earns the right to take one present back to Whoville. If tagged, the Who stands up holding the scooter like a suitcase walks to the closest sideline, and continues back down the mountain to try again. The Whos attempt to scoot across the floor (up Mount Crumpit) without getting tagged by the Grinch and his helper. The Grinch and his helper begin the game in the middle of the gym floor, each holding a green swim noodle. The Whos line up along the opposite baseline (base of Mount Crumpit in Whoville). Set up the game by dumping at least 50 yarn balls and beanbags along one baseline (top of Mount Crumpit) of your gym. The Grinch and his helper are trying to stop the people of Whoville (Whos) from taking back the presents that were stolen. They’ll do anything possible, even fight through a blizzard, to help people in need. Students have to deliver food to a shelter for homeless people. *I’ve also played this game with a “GIFT OF TIME” theme. I usually play 2-minute rounds before changing blizzard taggers. If an elf makes it all the way to Santa’s sled, she drops the toy into the sled, then runs back along the sideline to try and deliver another toy. ![]() If an elf is tagged, she holds her hands up and walks to the nearest sideline, then returns to the starting point to try again. Each blizzard tagger can only move side to side, staying in their own lane (use cones to create eight lanes for eight blizzard taggers). Several students wearing blue pinnies represent the blizzard and attempt to tag the elves. The elves take one toy from the basket and try to work their way across the floor, all the way to Santa’s sled. The wind is howling, snow is piling up, and visibility is limited. However, there’s a blizzard making the task nearly impossible. Santa’s elves need to load his sled with all the presents on Christmas Eve. Once the candle is lit, that player must walk their scooter along the sideline, back to their team to continue the game. When a player crosses the opposite end-line, he/she is safe and can light one of the candles. The student who was the eternal flame can now try to light a candle like everyone else. Once the eternal flame rescues a tagged player, he hands the flame to that player, who now becomes the eternal flame. This tells the person on your team with the “eternal flame” (noodle or candy cane) to come rescue you by handing you the candy cane. If you are tagged on the opposite side, you must freeze with your hands up. The goal is to cross over the middle line and safely get to the opposite end in order to light a candle on the menorah (I use a plastic ball pit ball for the flame). We’ll talk about the Menorah, the shamash or helper candle, and the order in which you light the candles (from right to left) and why.Įach team begins on their own side, sitting on a scooter board, much like capture the flag. Many times I’ll let my students who celebrate Hanukkah lead the discussion. Before we play, we meet in a circle to talk about Hanukkah. Here are some more Christmas materials you can find here on Games4esl.My students love this game. I hope you found this Christmas lesson plan useful. Ask students to tell you 3 Christmas words that they have learned before they leave the class. A great way to do this is to have students line up at the door before they leave. ![]() Reviewīefore finishing the class, review what students have learned during this Christmas lesson. ![]() Alternatively, put students in pairs or small teams and pause the video while they write down their answer. This activity can be played as a whole class and you can ask students to simply raise their hand or shout out the answer when they are ready to guess. Students must try to guess the Christmas word that is being described before the time runs out. It’s a ‘What am I?’ Christmas quiz in which students will read three clues describing a Christmas object. This last activity is a fun Christmas quiz with 10 questions.
