Printable Christmas Games for Kids - and their Adults... Download or Make Your Own

Printable Christmas Games for Kids - and their Adults... Download or Make Your Own

In the Northern Hemisphere where winter has approached, families will be looking for fun indoor activities to while away a lazy afternoon, or as an appetizer to a children's Christmas party. In the Southern Hemisphere where a scorching African summer is in full force and the 6 week long Christmas Holiday is upon us - along with a sometimes very rainy season - parents will be looking for something to occupy little minds and hands out of the midday sun.

Together with my children I devised and compiled some fun printable Christmas games that are easy to download, easy to print and easy to assemble. The easiest - and most fun part - is playing the games, which can be used only for little people, or can be turned into an entire family feast of competition...

Children Learn by Play, and what better time than at Christmas when everything is madly exciting! This game gives a whole new twist on the traditional board game of Scrabble.
Teaching your child phonics and phonemic awareness needn't be dull and uninteresting. From a very early age your child will begin to recognise the shape and sound of letters, and be able to sound and associate the correct words to pictures shown. Once your child has learnt the alphabet a whole new world of fun learning experiences opens up to him or her.
I devised this Letter Tile game which worked wonderfully for my children when they were younger, and who, after successfully "spelling" out simple Dolch words with the letter tiles, pushed their own envelopes and sounded letters and words to pictures, thereby gaining awareness of more complex words and far advancing their initial knowledge. And the kids didn't even know they were learning!
I have included 215 picture cards, all with a Christmas Theme, blank cards with instructions on how to make your own, a storage envelope and 2 sheets of letter tiles, both upper and lower case, as well as educator notes on the importance of phonics and phonemic awareness.
Have fun!
Wishing you and yours a very safe and blessed Christmas and holiday season.
