Connect Christmas vocabulary with decorations and scenes that participants can interpret in their own way. Words to begin with include tree, star, gift, bell, ornament, light.

Words, images and a conversation

A word search practices spelling; a matching game connects pictures; coloring draws attention to star points, ribbons and repeated ornament shapes. Choose one activity and add another only if it offers a different way to participate.

An idea to continue

Design an ornament from two geometric shapes and explain how you would repeat its pattern in a garland.
