Santa's Coming to Town

In this new entry in Pbc English Santa is coming to our pre-school class in the shape of a fun Christmas Card.( 5 years of infant education)
Material we need:
- Cardboard (red, orange & green)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Some cotton

1st Step: Deliver cardboard to cut out

The first thing to do is to give our pupils the pieces of cardboard to cut out. It may seem simple but we can't forget that they are very slow in the process. Then, give them a piece of green cardboard folded as a Christmas card.  After cutting out all the pieces of the cardboard, stick them on the front part of the Christmas card.

   Face: They can stick the eyes or simply draw them.
        Hat: Stick the hat and a white paper strip on it.


2nd Step: Cotton hair and beard

Secondly, after glueing the cardboard, our pupils will start sticking the cotton to make Santa's beard and hair. a little guidance will be necessary, otherwise the results would be strange. It is always very useful to show them a finished example of the work we are doing so they can figure out what they have to do.

 Stick the cotton around the face and make Santa's hair and beard

 To finish, stick a cotton ball at the top of the hat.

Step 3: Inside the Christmas Card: 

The last step is to colour and decorate the inside part of the Christmas card. I have chosen a picture of Santa to colour, with the words "Father Christmas" because it is the vocabulary we were working in class.


I hope you find it interesting and useful for your lessons with the youngest pupils. Have a look to some of their best works. Merry Christmas!
