Learning through play

Watch the video and then....

Monday -  Talk about the characters in the book.  Can you see the shepherd, baby Jesus, an angel, a donkey, wise men?  Talk about what you can see using the words 'I see...'

Tuesday - Look at Christmas tree decorations. How many different bauble designs can you see. Draw and decorate a bauble.

Wednesday - Listen to the song 'jingle bells'.  Can you learn the words and add actions to the words.

Thursday - Counting with Christmas decorations (or spoons).  Count 10 items - remember to point to each thing as you count.

Friday - Talk about things you would do at Christmas (or any other special occasion).  Do you make special food? Do you put decorations up? Do you have music and presents? Draw a picture of things you love about Christmas.
