The sun is shining, surf lifesavers are wearing Christmas hats and the Australian Christmas Beetles are making their appearance. It’s beginning to look a whole lot like Christmas around here, so it’s time to put up your classroom Christmas tree and get into the festive spirit! To help you out, we’ve created eight jolly Christmas resources in French, EAL/D, Indonesian and Japanese.
1) Christmas Bunting
First things first, Christmas decorations! Get your students involved with the classroom decorating, while practicing their colour vocabulary, with our colour-by-numbers bunting.

2) Festive Flashcards
Introduce your class to key festive words with our flashcards; there are many games you can play from memory challenges to matching pairs. Our favourite is a new take on the old classic, Musical Chairs. Just like the regular game, play some fun music and ask your students to run around the chairs – you can always ask them to hop like a rabbit or take pigeon steps. When the music stops, one child will be left without a chair and will have to correctly translate one of the flashcards to stay in the game!
