Susan's OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES for practising English ESL

10/11/2017

Every Christmas we teachers rack our brains to think of new as well as traditional activities to do with our students as the festive season nears.

Over the years I have started preparing children as early as the end of October so as to be sure they knew their Christmas carols and plays off by heart.

However, as a teacher, repeating activities year in, year out, can become less stimulating over time. Therefore I have explored other ideas suggested to me and decided to adapt Christmas activities to learn more language useful to us throughout the year as well as listening comprehension and speaking skills.

I have now compiled a small E-Book of my more successful OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES in the hope of being able to stimulate other teachers who may want to deviate from their usual Christmas activities.

Looking forward to any feedback regarding these activities and hoping you may want to contribute with more of your own in the comments below.

Wishing your creative Christmas endeavours bring fruitful progress to your students...

Have a wonderful festive season!

My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
