Read the information and legend about St. Nicholas to your class and and then ask them to sort the facts into true and false. Wonderful Christmas listening skills activity! Great group work! Then ask your class to sequence the true facts into a logical order (the order they appear here) and write them up in their books. I have included an image of St. Nicholas and Father Christmas to add to the page so students can see where Father Christmas came from.

Three page starter activity to laminate and use again and again.
Laminate the whole sheet. Neatly cut off the words at the bottom leaving the top like a place-mat. Cut out the individual words from the bottom. Ask Learners to place the two words which make up the contraction in the two boxes next to that word.
Use this starter to see what they already know or assess their recall from a previous lesson. This is a great activity to consolidate using the apostrophe.
This festive activity asks your students to each draw around a verse from the very famous 'A Visit From St Nicholas' more commonly known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'. There are 14 verses so I got every student to do one and created a display in my room and a display on the corridor. Alternatively you could make it competitive.
An inspiration sheet of festive images is provided to help your class with their drawing.
This makes a wonderful display and could even be used to create a performance of the poem or assembly.
