Be inclusive!
Teaching tip
Although many of us look forward to celebrating Christmas and to the prospect of spending time with the family, we must not forget the people for whom Christmas is not a time for celebration. This may be for religious reasons or for personal reasons, when being alone at Christmas can be difficult. Concentrating on the season – winter – might be a way of avoiding any discussion about family gatherings and Christmas itself.
Round the class
Choose a topic from the list below then choose a letter of the alphabet. Go around the class – each student has to think of a different word beginning with that letter.
| winter weather | activities for winter evenings | seasonal food |
| winter clothes | activities for winter mornings | seasonal drinks |
| winter nature | New Year´s resolutions | ways to save energy |
| winter sports |
Or you could play a game like Taboo or Charades which, while fun, doesn’t have any particular reference to Christmas.
