Christmas in Spanish

[Nicky Dobinson]

Hello - does anyone have suggestions of activities for Christmas lessons in Spanish for Years 5 and 6?
Thanks

Have you looked on the wiki (click the wiki link on the top of the main page of Talkabout) and done a search of this site? there were several posts last year on Christmas ideas. Also check out El pequeño petirrojo - yr5 and 6 love it as much as the littlies.
Will answer in more detail later as on my way to work

I found some Powerpoints and good ideas on the Sunderland Learning Grid.

Also, a teacher asked me if I knew "Feliz Navidad" the song (didn't) but googled it and found great clip of early 70's singer (blocked in school though). It's in Spanish and English and very easy for kids to sing along 2.

If you can access "Espanol Espanol" there are several Spanish Carols on there 2.

Feliz Navidad!

Sharon, that's great - thanks very much - you learn something new every day, don't you - I'd never heard of it but Wikipedia says it's one of the most played Christmas songs around the world!

Sharon - thanks for the pointer to Jose Feliciano- I did Feliz Navidad with Year 5 with maracas and sleigh bells and they loved it and were singing it as they left the classroom!
