How well do you ACTUALLY know Christmas around the world; in song, dance, and language?

 

This game provides a wide selection of Christmas trivia questions from general trivia to movies and music, traditions and languages. Test your knowledge of Christmas music with questions in the Music and Song Category, or see how well your dad REALLY remembers the movie or famous novel, “A Christmas Carol”. What Christmas song contains the words “And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time…”? Who is Rudolph’s dad? What will probably not find under the Christmas tree? What kind of Christmas is Elvis Presley going to have?

 

Get friends and family to join in to while away a lazy holiday afternoon, or use the game as a warm-up to a fabulous and fun Christmas gathering. Play the Game! And find the answers to these questions and a whole lot more!

The cards are created using beautiful assorted vintage Christmas images from the public domain. Enjoy with our compliments!

Playing card games is a great way for children to learn a variety of basic skills, including counting, taking turns, basic strategy, and being a good sport. Here are some ideas for the best traditional card games for children. All of these games can be played with a standard 52-card deck. While these games are mostly aimed at the younger generations, people of all ages can join in.

Christmas Scrabble Word Game, Printable Christmas Games for Kids #Education #Homeschool

Christmas Scrabble Word Game

Printable Christmas Games, Christmas Scrabble Word Game

Children Learn by Play, and what better time than at Christmas when everything is madly exciting!  This game gives a whole new twist on the traditional board game of Scrabble.

 

Teaching your child phonics and phonemic awareness needn’t be dull and uninteresting. From a very early age your child will begin to recognise the shape and sound of letters, and be able to sound and associate the correct words to pictures shown. Once your child has learnt the alphabet a whole new world of fun learning experiences opens up to him or her.

 

I devised this Letter Tile game which worked wonderfully for my children when they were younger, and who, after successfully “spelling” out simple Dolch words with the letter tiles, pushed their own envelopes and sounded letters and words to pictures, thereby gaining awareness of more complex words and far advancing their initial knowledge. And the kids didn’t even know they were learning!

 

I have included 215 picture cards, all with a Christmas Theme,  blank cards with instructions on how to make your own, a storage envelope and 2 sheets of letter tiles, both upper and lower case, as well as educator notes on the importance of phonics and phonemic awareness.

 

Have fun!

 

Wishing you and yours a very safe and blessed Christmas and holiday season.

Christmas Pictionary, Printable Christmas Games

Pictionary is a fun family-oriented game with rules that are easy to follow, and are also easily adaptable. Of course if you are able to draw or sketch you’ll be zooming ahead to the finish before anyone else, but if, like me, you really aren’t very good there’ll be a lot of laughter and giggling at the attempts.

The game is almost based on a type of Charades Game, a classic game of drawing and guessing pictures. The game is ideal for groups of people, and a perfect addition to a Christmas gathering of family and friends.

Our Christmas Pictionary categories are:

• Song (or sub-categories Poem, Carol, Traditional, Modern, Funny etc)

• Book (or Story)

• Film (or sub-categories TV, Movies)

• Gift (or sub-categories Mum, Dad, Granny, Boy, Girl, Baby etc)

• Object (or sub-category Accessories, Decorations, Things)

But we have included blank cards for you to make your own categories and write your own words and titles if you choose to.

Christmas Pictionary, printable Christmas Games

This unit contains 434 individual Cards in 7 different categories, color-coded for each category, and can easily be sorted for children aged around 4 and upwards. Adults will also be drawn into the game trying to figure out names of old-time movies, characters, songs and stories.
