Santa Claus is Coming to Town Pop Up game + Christmas Card
« on: December 10, 2013, 11:48:04 AM »
Attached is a ppt with 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' embedded, the ppt is timed to change with the lyrics. Nabbed from this site but I have modified the font and pictures on most slides.

I use this as a nunchi/pop up game. Students have to pick one of the following words (and write it down, so it's harder to change):
Santa Claus
coming
better
good

They have to stand up when they first hear their word, and sit down the next time, then stand up again etc. The students left standing at the end win a prize / candy / stamp / whatever. The winning word is 'better.'

Also attached is a step by step guide to making a simple pop up Christmas Card. All that's needed is A4 paper, scissors, glue, and markers for decoration. My school is VERY limited when it comes to craft activities but we always have paper and the kids usually have markers.

** Note - I changed the PPT for the card as it wasn't great, new and improved version up now. Edit the last slide with a card of your own. ***

Template is here: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Christmas-Tree-Pop-up-Card-(Robert-Sabuda-Method) plus another guide.

Fantastic! My 5th graders loved this. Thank you for this wonderful gem!





This is how I did it:

-Hi how are you? Announced two activities of the day

-Showed song once. Blew up the lyrics on screen. Asked the kids to pick one word. Called on the smartest kid and asked him to pick one out loud. Then moved from kid to kid

-Explained the game. Ran it once. Gave surprise candy to the ones standing.

-Ran it again but with two words instead of one and also in pairs

-Christmas Card was simple, followed together step by step.



*Do not hand out the glue or scissors too early or the kids might try to jump ahead and screw up their cards >.<

*Also helps to go over Christmas phrases, like 'Merry Christmas', before the cards.

Making Christmas cards is a great lesson idea. I can't wait to do it with my middle school students next week.

The lesson is great, but I have made some minor changes which I have attached. I went though and made the pictures bigger so even on a 38" TV students at the back will (hopefully) have no problems seeing.
