Students learn to sing the 12 Days of Christmas Song. This activity can be combined with another activity, such as a quiz, to make a full Christmas lesson.

Listening Activity — 15 mins
Students asked to put their desks together to form 6 groups (group size depends on the class)
Students listen to the song “12 Days of Christmas” TWICE and complete handout
ALT goes through answers using the slides

Singing Practice — 10 mins
Each line of the song will be dedicated to a group (some groups may have multiple lines to learn depending on the class)
Students are given time to practice their lines
ALT will go through a practice run WITHOUT music

Singing Performance — 5 mins
Students perform the whole of the song “12 Days of Christmas” WITH music

2024 EDIT: I added an easier worksheet!
