Great fun Christmas activities, complete and ready to use! Lots of engaging, enjoyable and fun activities and a primary activity of building and firing straw air powered rockets in the classroom (no need to go outside). Please don’t stop reading! This is not a lesson only for science teachers… easy and fully scaffolded, you do NOT need any rocket building skills! But you will have fun too!
The Story:
A story is woven and as part of the lesson the learners build rockets to save Christmas from Safcut - who is Santa’s evil brother. All instructions are included and the lesson teaches the learners almost automatically, this is NOT a lesson only for our friends the science teachers (although it’s excellent for them too!) - any of us can use this fun and imaginative lesson. Who is Safcut? What’s his plan? Can your class save Christmas?
Length:
The length of the lesson is very flexible, there are activities you can miss out and on the other hand there is a Christmas cracker based extension. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 1/2 hour and 1 and a 1/2 hours depending on your needs.
Better than a boring quiz:
This is definitely not a Christmas quiz, it gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. It’s a great lesson you can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
What do they learn?
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and it includes: literacy, SMSC, team working skills, cooperation, physical building skills, questions with answers, activities with answers, play ball game, what engineers do, identify parts of a rocket, joke telling etc
High quality lesson, great for teachers of any subject!
Merry Christmas !
Happy teaching !
