Christmas Connections:Exploring Tradition

This lesson plan, designed for EYFS and KS1 children, immerses them in the festive spirit by exploring key Christmas traditions.
Using a series of 8 colour posters depicting Christmas items like sleigh bells, a Christmas present, and a gingerbread man, children participate in activities designed to enhance their recognition and storytelling skills.
The lesson includes matching games to reinforce understanding of holiday symbols, storytelling sessions where children create and narrate their own Christmas tales, and a fun picture hunt that encourages problem-solving and collaboration.
Extensions such as crafting, singing, and role-playing further enrich the experience. This lesson helps children grasp the significance of holiday symbols and also fosters creativity, communication, and teamwork.
