Default Re: ideas

There is the tradition of the Christmas tree. This is an evergreen tree, so you could talk about the difference between a deciduous tree and a coniferous tree. Then you could introduce the different decorations used, lights, candy canes, ornaments, a star for the top, or an angel, tinsel, garlands, pop corn strings, ribbons etc..
You could start out by drawing the tree shape on the board or giving them each a paper to create their own tree.
Once the decorations have been discussed then they could decorate their own tree, you could set a task of including 6 different decorations. Then they could partner up and have to describe their tree to their partner.
They could also have an activity where they ask questions of each other, about the trees they have made.
