Santa Claus is coming to town Εικόνα

You'd better watch out,

You'd better not cry,

You'd better not pout,

I'm telling you why:

He sees you when you're sleeping,

He knows when you're awake,

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good, for goodness' sake!

Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list

And checking it twice,

He's going to find out

Who's naughty and nice:

Santa Claus is coming to town!

You'd better watch out,

You'd better not cry,

You'd better not pout,

I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town!

CROSS CURRICULAR PROJECT

 

EITHER CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS: In Lesson 2 we read about five countries with different Christmas traditions. Can you find more differences between countries? How do people celebrate Christmas in New York, London, Athens or other European cities? Find information on the internet, encyclopedias, or in books. Work in groups and present your work in class.

 

OR DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS?

Christmas is a time when we give each other presents, eat a lot and generally enjoy ourselves. We live in a country where we can do so.

However there are many children, for example in Africa, who want to celebrate Christmas like we do but cannot.

  • Do you think it's a good idea to try and help these children?
  • Can you think of one thing you can do to help these children?
  • Can you find websites that you, your class or your family can contact to make a difference for these children?

In small groups put together a project:

Describe one practical way you can make a difference.
