This ebook contains a number of activities that have been tailored specifically to accompany the YouTube video “Evolution of Santa Claus”, from the acclaimed History Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO6a6Ue2z5I. It is aimed for Elementary school students, though older students will also find it interesting.
The video shows how the modern image of Santa Claus has been refined again and again. New York City has shaped the modern secular Christmas we now celebrate more than any other city in the world. It’s really because of the efforts of two very gifted New Yorkers who lived there in the 1800s that the jolly character known as Santa Claus came to life and is now loved by millions of children around the world.
Watch first the video with your students, with or without subtitles if necessary, and then proceed to do the activities in this ebook. For every activity there are Teacher’s Notes and suggested answers.
