ENGLISCH ENGLISH CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES ENGLISH CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER ENGLISH CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES ENGLISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES FOR GERMAN-SPEAKING ENGLISH LEARNERS

Word searches are a simple and effective way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in English, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set features ten differentiated word searches, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. It focuses on 25 English Christmas words, which will also help to develop students’ awareness of some English-speaking countries Christmas traditions and figures. There is some focus on the UK, with vocabulary such as Boxing Day, Christmas cracker and mince pies. The vocabulary is really useful for stimulating discussion about UK Christmas practices and customs in general. Students also enjoy talking about other Christmas traditions they know or follow. The vocabulary list features the definite article, though some grids also have the indefinite article / plurals for additional challenge.

There are 5 English to English grids, where students are prompted with the English words, and look for them in English in the grid. For additional consolidation, each grid also features an English word list to complete. There are also 5 German to English grids, where the prompts are given in German. Students look for the English translation in the grid. They also write the English translation of the German word.

There is an answer grid for each word search, so that students can check their answers, or use for a little extra help if they need it. The answer keys help them develop independence in their learning, and also provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with the English Christmas vocabulary. The word searches and answer keys are in landscape format, with arrows indicating in which direction the individual words are located.

There is an alphabetical English-German Christmas vocabulary list which students find really helpful.

The word searches are useful in a range of learning contexts - as bell ringers / starters, refreshers, finishers, fun-time fillers and for sub / cover lessons at any time during the Christmas / Holiday season.
