Christmas vocabulary activities

A seasonal vocabulary set for classes choosing to explore Christmas traditions. Offer an alternative topic for learners who prefer a different seasonal activity.

Your starting word list

Before you print

Read through the list together. Check that learners know the meaning of each word, and replace words that do not fit your lesson. The generator uses uppercase A–Z letters. A worksheet practises spelling and recognition; introduce new meanings before asking learners to work independently.

A classroom idea

Compare decorations, music and celebrations without assuming all families celebrate in the same way. Use the winter or feelings list as an inclusive alternative.

Talk about it

Which words could also appear at a celebration in another season?

Choose an activity

• Word search: start with across and down, then add diagonal or backward directions.
• Vocabulary bingo: use the small grid with this list, and call words or definitions.
• Word scramble: rebuild each word and check it against the separate key.
