Christmas in July- Rudolph and friends



Twist your tongue!
I found this activity somewhere in the net but I can't remember where.
I typed and printed some tongue twisters. Children had to pick up one and read as fast as they can.
Chocolate cocoa cravings cure colds
Santa sings shining star songs
Big bright bells banish boredom
Grumpy Grinch goes grizzly gus
Tip-top tiny tot toys
Sally's stocking's stuffed slightly
Santa's super souped sleigh swiftly slides sideways
Cheery caroling Christmas critters
Candy cane cookies keep kids coming

What's my name?
Write the letters of the reindeers’ names in cards.
Put the reference card and the letter tiles in the box.
Divide children into teams. Give each team a bag. The first team to form the name wins.
Change bags.
After playing with all the bags challenge children to form the names without using the reference cards.
Dasher , Dancer, Prancer and Vinxer
Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzer
Rudolph

Pin the nose on Rudolph
You need to print Rudolph face and remove its nose. Then you need to prepare a big red circle with adhesive on backBlindfold one kid, spin him/her around and let him/her try to stick the nose where it's supposed to go.


Hidden words
I prepared cards with Christmas related words such as Christmas, Poinsettia, Mistletoes,Workshop, etc.
They were challenged to find smaller hidden words
Example: Christmas
Words: sit, is, his, miss, rat, tar, this, math, chair,

Culminating Activity
We watched the movie (with Spanish subtitles) drank hot chocolate, ate some sugar cookies and of course, got a silver bell necklace to wear home.
Ask the children to ring their bells together to see if they truly "believe" and can hear the Christmas bells.
