Christmas Activities (Paper 1 Revision)

These two lessons are designed for the final week before students break up for the Christmas break. They do involve friendly competitive games but they also require students to use skills required throughout Paper 1.

Activities include using language features in relation to the ideal Christmas/other religious celebration, analysing Christmas adverts and making crackers. These activities are separated by fun, competitive tasks for students to take part in.

Stretch and challenge activities are included.

Included is a document which details information that can be placed into your own lesson plan template.
