Christmas Is Sharing – A Heartwarming Classroom Activity
Christmas is the perfect time to bring kindness, empathy, and a bit of magic into our lessons. Inspired by the beautiful short film Mog’s Christmas Calamity, I’ve created a simple, meaningful activity pack to help students reflect on the true spirit of the season: sharing, helping others, and staying positive when things go wrong.
In my new Eduki resource Christmas Is Sharing, you’ll find engaging visuals and easy-to-use tasks that work beautifully alongside the video. It’s ideal for a quick festive lesson that sparks discussion, warms the classroom atmosphere, and reminds us what Christmas is really about.
Here you have two materials:
I hope they are useful for you and your students.
I’m also linking some interesting videos about it.
Teaching Thanksgiving Traditions in the ESL classroom is a wonderful way to introduce students to cultural topics while building meaningful language skills.
Here you have some resources to make it easy to explore the history and customs of the holiday—such as the feast, the parade and expressions of gratitude—through accessible reading and vocabulary work. Activities like The Gratitude Tree help students reflect on what they are thankful for, encouraging positivity, empathy and classroom community.
Thanksgiving lessons not only enrich students’ cultural knowledge but also create a warm, reflective atmosphere that supports communication and personal expression in English.
In 1621, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The Pilgrims and the Native Americans (Wampanoag).
They came to America to find religious freedom and a new life.
They probably ate wild turkey, corn, pumpkin, and fish.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln made it an official holiday.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt fixed it as the fourth Thursday of November.
Families get together, eat a big meal, and watch parades or football games.
To remember the first harvest celebration and to be thankful for what we have.
This is a great game to play in class if you want to review vocabulary. My 1º E.S.O. students love it! Here you have a pack of 27 cards with school vocabulary. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The 5th of November is an important day in British history. Over 400 years ago, a group of Catholics plotted against King James I. They decided that the King, his family, royals, bishops, and other members of the government must die because of the persecution Catholics were suffering in England. Their plan failed, and the plot's failure has been celebrated every 5th of November since.
This is the material I’ve designed for my classes. They are tailored for 4th ESO bilingual courses and 2º bachillerato students, as well as students at B1-B2 levels. I hope you enjoy them!
I let you the link to the videos I used in the material above.
Every year, I like to watch a film with my students—no matter their level. Choosing the right film is key: it has to be something they enjoy, something that captures their attention. Of course, most of them prefer to watch with Spanish subtitles (their mother tongue), but I always encourage them to give English subtitles a try. In my experience, this makes a huge difference in improving listening skills and expanding vocabulary.
One of my favourite classroom films is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It’s fun, full of action, and perfect for keeping students engaged from beginning to end.
Here you can find the English trailer and a link to the teaching material I’ve designed to go along with the film.
I hope you and your students enjoy it as much as we do!
