Activity

Helping Santa (Flexible Grammar; Whose _ is This?)

Students will practice speaking and asking questions with random presents for characters

Update 12/10/2024: Made some changes to the worksheet. In the 2024 version, the students dont have the hints on their worksheet. Instead, there is a separate page that shows what presents go to who. You can cut these into cards and then spread them amongst the different groups.

Note: There's a "definitive" version with music added, extra animations, and a fireplace slide with BGM whilst doing the activity (The music is the main reason why the file size is bigger)

Decided to make this to practice "Whose ___ is this?" from New Horizons 1 Unit 7. Since it's almost Christmas, I have made it Christmas themed. You can totally adjust this for different grammar points though.

ie.
Y1: Unit 3 "want"/Unit 4 "What ____ do you ?" combined with unit 6 third person sentences. "wants a ___." "What gift does __ want?"
Y2: "Will" [I will give...], I think that, Passive voice [Unit 7; this is the ___ wanted by .]
Y3: Unit 5 "This is a _
that" , Unit 6 wish [but with third person. "_____ wishes he/she/they had/could"

Scenario: It's almost Christmas, but this year, Santa decides to take a vacation instead of deliver presents. The kids don't know what to do, but then they decide to deliver presents themselves. They will cut out the present squares at the bottom of the worksheet, and glue them onto the correct characters by using their hint space to help each other out.

Included:
-Powerpoint to quickly review/introduce the grammar
-Powerpoint with the scenario
-Word document (2 pages, the top and presents part is the same, but the hints are different (9 answers each)
-Word document (You can print the first 2 pages on one sheet if you want. The fourth page that has the present guide can be printed by itself, or with the third page. Depends on the size you want the cards to be)

The presents are extremely random (with the exception of the vacuum). I did this so they wouldn't automatically just know what belongs to who if I themed the presents around the characters (ie. a Master Ball for Ash/Satoshi, or a 1-up mushroom for Mario, or a Dragon ball for Goku.
