A Christmas Visit (Younger)

Description

A Christmas playground story for students of 4 – 7 years. In this playground, students will begin by writing a letter to Santa. Then as they are getting ready for bed, they notice a letter from Santa in the wardrobe, thanking them for their letter and inviting them to visit him. And so the adventure begins. They have a clue to use the chimney like Santa does and so they jump through the fireplace and are magically taken the reindeer’s stable where they can feed the reindeer. Then they can pin the nose on Rudolph (with their eyes closed of course!) and label the reindeer diagram. The door then opens to a maze with a game of Tic Tac Toe in the middle to practice HAVE GOT sentences. As they leave the maze, students will find another activity to practice CAN and CAN’T. As a reward they can decorate a Christmas tree before finding their way into the igloo where some listening activities await. The path leads on to a diagram on a snowman to label and of course, they can dress their own snowman. Up the steps we find the elves in the workshop, This section of the playground contains 3 activities, sorting the children into naughty and nice lists, filling some sacks with some presents written on lists, and a matching activity to match the elves to their descriptions. Finally, students will find Santa’s house past some glittery trees. Don’t worry if they forgot to bring the key from the igloo, there’s a spare under the door mat. In Santa’s kitchen, there’s a quiz, a counting activity and a “find something that” activity. When they students go upstairs, they will need to answer a few questions about how good they’ve been this year, before they finally open the door to meet Santa. At this point, you could reward your student with some gems to buy their own dragon, but that’s up to you… Have fun and happy Christmas! (Note that in the video, I took out the doors as I was moving through the playground.)
