Christmas 2024 Advent Calendar of English Literacy Activities
Keep your students focused and on-task with this English Literacy Activities Advent Calendar. We all know that students find it harder to focus in the build-up to the Christmas holidays, so why not give them something festive to keep them occupied?
This advent calendar has a literacy-based activity for each school day in December. With only minimal writing, students will complete activities that feel fun, but that also encourage them to think about words, spelling, vowels, consonants, and to apply their speaking, listening and reasoning skills.
There are numerous different types of activity across the different days, so there is something for every learner here. These tasks are versatile and can be used as starters, treat tasks to end lessons, or even as a mid-way break during a lesson where focus is particularly hard to find!
Examples of activities include:
- placing festive words in alphabetical order
- deciphering Christmas anagrams
- discussing the ideal Christmas dinner options
- visualising based on what they hear
There is no prep required. Just load up the PowerPoint before the session and the day’s hyperlink will take you to the relevant activity. And if you need to get back to the main page, just click on the date icon in the corner.
Create a sense of community. This advent calendar can create a sense of community within class or, better yet, across a whole year/school if every student starts their day with the same festive activity.
NB: for anyone who purchased the 2023 version, activities are the same but hyperlinks have been updated
