These Vocabulary Building Activities provide
opportunities for Pre-K (preschool),
Kindergarten, and Grade One children to practice identifying and naming
items that can be found, and activities that people do, during the Christmas
holiday celebrations.

CONTENTS
20 bright and engaging pictures (that can be
used as story starters).
3
formats and three games included:
•
Two pictures on the cards - 8
cards per page / and a larger format with 4 cards per page
•
One picture per card – 4
cards per page - open-ended.
How to play the
game(s):
- Use the CHRISTMAS Chart as a reference. Identify and discuss all of the cards as a class, or group. If the child describes the picture in different words…that’s OK. (example: instead of ‘Christmas lights’- ‘lights’) Use the correct vocabulary to convey meaning. (example: as a class you may decide to use “cookies” instead of a “plate of cookies”. )
- Bring in things from nature to touch and feel.
Example - Game
1
•
The first player chooses any
card, and reads it. For example, “I have a plate of cookies. Who has a cupcake?” That child then places
that card in a container, that has been placed on the table.
•
Everyone looks at their cards
to see if they have a cupcake. The person who does then says, “I have a
cupcake. Who has a candy cane?” That child places that card in the container,
and so on.
•
Play continues until all of
the cards are in the container. (Play
circles back to the ‘plate of cookies’ starter card.)
Example - Game 3
•
Using a bingo dabber, each
child will identify, find, and mark off the picture that matches what has been
called out. (e.g. bells, Christmas tree)
•
The game ends when all of the
cards have been played.
Have fun learning!
