Christmas Charades: A Holiday Activity that your students will love!

Christmas Charades Game

A great holiday themed game that kids love is Christmas Charades. Not only is it fun – your students will practice some important grammar points while using Christmas vocabulary at the same time.

Playing charades is the best way to practice the present progressive verb tense in young learners classrooms. This Christmas version is a great way to practice and celebrate the holiday while learning new verbs! Kids love acting out these Christmas action verbs while their classmates guess which verbs they are miming. These colorful cards were designed for use in ESL and EFL classrooms, but they are also an ideal activity for primary grades as well. This exercise is a great way to get students moving, use all that excess energy in a positive way and practice this important verb tense at the same time.

Your students will use common action verbs to mime the action on the card while their classmate use complete sentences to guess the verb.
