Pin the Nose on the Reindeer

For your blank board, cut out black paper for eyes and a mouth. Use sticks for antlers or cut them out of paper as well, and arrange them to look like a reindeer’s face on your bulletin board. Then, give each student a large red circle, which will be the reindeer’s nose. Have each student write their name on their nose. One at a time, blindfold your student, spin them around three times, and then have them place their nose where they think it belongs on your bulletin board reindeer. You can either put tape on the back to make it stick or have your student use a push pin. Remove the blindfold and let the student see where his nose ended up. After everyone in class has had a turn, have students return to their seats and get out a piece of paper. Students will write one sentence about each person’s reindeer nose that describes its position. Their sentence should use a preposition of place. You can put a list of prepositions of place on your board to help including above, below, next to, beside, under, and on top of. If necessary, review these prepositions with your students before they write their sentences. Once everyone has finished, collect the sentences and review different options for what they could have written for each student’s reindeer nose.

P.S. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a male reindeer, usually depicted as a young calf who barely has antlers, with a glowing red nose, popularly known as "Santa's Ninth Reindeer." When depicted, he is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. The luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team's path through cold winter weather.

Christmas Games for English Practice

Naughty or Nice

Explain how parents tell their children that Santa Claus only gives presents to “good” children, and that they use this tool to convince their children to do chores or to act properly. Create a list of ten questions that are culturally specific to your particular students as to whether they were “bad” or “good”. For example, one might be “I washed the dishes for my mother.” Write the questions on the board, or make a hand out. Have students work in pairs and ask each other the questions, recording never, sometimes, or always for each. Nevers get zero points, sometimes one point, and always two points. A score below 10 is naughty and above 10 nice. See where the class falls as a whole!
