Printable Christmas Activities for Upper Years

Christmas is coming up, and what better way to celebrate is by integrating a bit of cheer into every subject? We’ve created a fun set of Christmas verb tense task cards to help your upper years students review past, present, and future tense verbs. 

Students read through the task card and determine whether the underlined verb is past, present, or future tense. They will then record their answers on the recording sheet.

An answer sheet is included with your printable Christmas activity PDF for students to self-check their answers.

Why choose a task card instead of a standard Christmas ELA worksheet? Task cards are a fantastic tool for practising grammar skills in the classroom for several reasons:

Task cards provide a hands-on and interactive approach to learning. Students often find them more engaging than traditional worksheets or exercises. The format allows for variety, making the practise of grammar skills feel less like a chore and more like a game or challenge.

Task cards can be used in collaborative learning environments. Students can work together to solve problems, discuss grammar rules, and share their understanding. This collaborative approach not only enhances their understanding of grammar but also develops important communication and teamwork skills.
