(Open educa-chat - Christmas) Print, laminate, and deposit the questions in a box. Children take turns picking a question out of the box. Also print the "It's my turn" card. Laminate it and attach a Popsicle stick to the back. This card will help children remember to respect the turn of the child who is speaking. You may also use the Poni puppet which may be purchased on the educatall online store or any stuffed animal you may have which works with the theme. Obviously, this list of questions is incomplete... you may add your own!
Educa-chat-Christmas questions
(Open educa-chat - Christmas) Print, laminate, and store in a box. The questions will help children develop their sense of observation, their vocabulary, their thoughts, and their ability to cooperate with others and wait for their turn, etc. This tool will help you lead a successful discussion period regardless if the children in your group are all the same age or not. It will also guarantee you make the most of your theme.

Bell Light Star
The educatall team suggests an imaginary game you can play with your group. (Open thematic letter - Christmas) Print the letter and insert it in an envelope. Place the envelope in an easy to find location in the daycare. During circle time, ask children to find the letter and read portions of the interactive story to them each day. This thematic letter suggests ten different activities. Select the ones which you consider are the most appropriate for your group. Adapt your suggestions to the children under your care as you see fit. There are no predetermined days or timelines. You may use the letter for inspiration or replace the activities with other ones within the theme. The goal of the thematic letter is to bring the magic which surrounds Christmas into your daycare.
Select a different child each day to play the role of Santa Claus. Let him wear Santa's hat. He will be your helper during circle time, snack and meal time, etc. The child who is Santa for the day shall be granted several privileges. You can, for example, purchase an Advent calendar and have him open the day's window (and eat the chocolate of course!) Another idea may be to give the child permission to choose a daycare toy or stuffed animal he may bring home for the night. Be sure to give each child a turn.
AREA SETUP
(Open thematic poster - Christmas 2009) Print, laminate, and decorate the walls of your daycare with all kinds of posters.

CANADA
Santa reminds you of the importance of including your return address so he can respond to the letters.

I sing, you sing, we sing...
Whenever you are moving from one area to another, practice singing your Christmas songs as you walk.
Multicoloured massage
Before naptime, children sit with a partner. Show them how to massage their partner using a Christmas ball (plastic). In order to respect each child's personal "bubble", begin gently with feet, hands, back, etc.
ACTIVITIES FOR BABIES
Christmas hats
Collect a variety of hats, types of fabric, and headbands which represent Christmas characters and deposit them in a bin. Let children try them on and admire themselves in a mirror. You may also take pictures. Display them on the wall.
Christmas stimulation bottles
Use several different sizes of transparent plastic bottles. Fill them with miniature erasers, confetti, candy or other Christmas-related objects.
The little red-nosed reindeer
Paint the tips of babies' noses and encourage them to look at themselves in a mirror. If you have a reindeer headband, have babies try it on. They will love it!
Deco-Explosion
Provide babies with a large bin filled with Christmas decorations (unbreakable ornaments, garlands, etc.)
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND MOTOR SKILLS
Christmas tree obstacle course
(Open Christmas tree decorations) Print, cut out, and laminate the illustrations. Prepare an obstacle course and deposit the decorations throughout the course. To the sound of music, children complete the obstacle course and collect a decoration. Once the obstacle course is completed, have them hang their decoration on a Christmas tree (a real pine tree, an artificial tree, or a paper Christmas tree). What a wonderful collective project!
It's raining gifts!
(Open model - gifts) Print and cut out enough gifts so there are at least ten per child. Deposit all the gifts in the centre of a parachute or blanket. Children firmly hold the edges of the parachute. When you give the signal, they raise the parachute. When the gifts fall back down, children try to collect as many as possible. Have them count the gifts.
Variation for younger children: Have them try to catch gifts you release from high above their heads.
Christmas Eve
Tap into children's imagination. Ask them what they like most about Christmas then pretend it is Christmas Eve. Provide wrapping paper and ribbon. Have children wrap toys within the daycare. Together, pretend it is time to open them, etc.
Variation for younger children: Allow them to manipulate wrapping paper, bows, etc. They can tear the paper into tiny pieces, crumple it into balls, stick bows on themselves, etc. Have a mirror handy!
The musical elf
Deposit hoola hoops on the floor. Little elves walk around them to the sound of Christmas music. When the music stops, each elf must find a home (hoola hoop). Remove one hoola hoop each time just as you would remove a chair in musical chairs.
Variation for younger children: Encourage children to hop from one hoop to the next to the sound of music. Hold babies in your arms and hop.
The magical hat
Ask children to sit in a circle. One child wears Santa Claus' hat. Play music and have them pass the hat around the circle. The child wearing the hat when the music stops selects a Christmas carol for the group to sing. The duration of this game varies according to the group's interest. Instead of a Santa Claus hat, you may use antlers or earmuffs. Children must place the hat on their head before passing it along to the next player.
I am ringing the bell
Draw a large bell on a coloured piece of cardboard. Use ribbon to attach tiny bells to it. One at a time, children throw bean bags towards the large bell and try to make the tiny bells jingle.
Santa Claus
Children take turns playing the role of Santa Claus. The other children are elves. The elves hide Santa's hat while he is another room. Once this is done, Santa returns and must find his hat. The game continues until each child has had a turn.
Variation for younger children: You are the elf. Hide several hats in easy to find places throughout the daycare. Children all pretend to be Santa and search for the hats.
Christmas Eve race
Divide the group into two teams. Each team must have ten gifts. You will need two large bags. Children stand single file. They pass gifts up their team's line through their legs. The first team to have deposited all their gifts in their bag wins.
Catch the gift thieves
This game is a lot like the cat and mouse game. Children are sneaky elves who steal gifts. There is one (or two depending on the size of the group) good elves among them. The good elf tries to capture the sneaky elves. Once he touches a sneaky elf, they hold hands and team up to try to catch the other elves.
Christmas Twister
(Open game - Christmas Twister) Print and place the large designs on the floor in a 4 x 4 sq. ft area. The leader of the game selects one Christmas card and one body part card. He calls out the cards as you would in the traditional Twister game. For example, he might say, "Place one foot on the bell."
Variation for younger children: Use the cards to decorate the daycare or play a recognition game. Have children find various cards. Babies will admire the cards if they are set on the floor.
Christmas bowling
This game requires ten 1-Litre bottles with approximately an inch of water in each of them. Glue a Christmas design onto each bottle. Children use a small ball to try to make a specific bottle fall down. You may call out the object or you may have a second set of Christmas designs and have children pick cards.
Variation for younger children: Line up the bottles and provide children with small balls. They can make any bottle fall down. You may add food colouring or various objects to the bottles. Cotton balls, sparkles, and confetti are all great additions. Children can shake the bottles.
Obstacle course
Each child wears antlers or a Santa Claus hat (crafted or store-bought) around the obstacle course. Include a beam (walking on the roof), a tunnel (going through the chimney), a table (milk and cookies), etc. Have children transport gifts to a specific location. Remember to play Christmas music!
Reindeer workout
Reindeer must be strong for their trip around the world with Santa. Pretend to be Santa. Lead a workout session for your reindeer!
Santa's footprints
(Open model - Santa and elf footprints) Print and deposit on the floor throughout the daycare. Have children walk with heavy steps on Santa's footprints and light steps on the elf footprints.
Santa lost a gift
Children are seated in a circle. Select a child to be Santa. He sits in the centre of the circle with his eyes closed. Children pass a gift around the circle while music plays. When the music stops, children all keep their hands behind their back. The child in the centre must guess who is holding the gift.
Christmas race
Divide children into teams. Deposit Santa clothing at the other end of the room. Children must dress up as Santa, return to the starting line, remove the clothing and give it to the next child in their team. You may use large rain boots, a tuque, a large red vest, etc.
Variation for younger children: Place a large box filled with clothing in the centre of the room. Allow children to discover its content. Help them dress up with the clothing they prefer.
Hooray for gifts
Wrap a gift with several layers of adhesive tape. Sit in a circle with the group. Deposit mittens and a tuque in the center of the circle. One at a time, children roll a die. The object of the game is to roll a "1". When a child succeeds, he puts on the mittens and tuque and tries to open the gift. When another child rolls a "1", it is his turn to put on the mittens and tuque and try to open the gift and so on. The game ends when the gift is completely open.
Variation for younger children: Wrap the gift with only one or two layers of wrapping paper and a small quantity of adhesive tape. Provide children with mittens and let them open the gift together. We have prepared designs to create a giant die (Open giant die). Laminate and glue the designs onto a cardboard box filled with paper and taped closed.
The bow on the gift
Hang a large piece of wrapping paper on the wall. Add a large ribbon to it, like a cross. Use various colours of Christmas bows. Attach adhesive putty under each one. Blindfold children, spin them around three times, and direct them towards the gift. The object of the game is to stick the bow as close as possible to the centre of the gift.
MUSICAL AND RYTHMIC ACTIVITIES
Elves
Play music. Children dance throughout the daycare. You play the role of Santa Claus. When you touch a child with your magic wand, they become elves. When you touch them again, they resume dancing. The game lasts for the duration of a song.
Musical Christmas illustrations
Print the five illustrations (reindeer, Santa Claus, elf, Christmas tree, and gift). Present them to your group. (Open Christmas illustrations) Each illustration corresponds to a particular action. For example, the reindeer could represent running, Santa Claus could be walking with his sack full of gifts, the elf could walk quickly and take tiny steps, the Christmas tree can swing from one leg to the other, arms alongside the body, and the gift could mean it is time to curl up in a ball.
Elf parade
Children wear elf hats. Give them each a piece of a garland. They may wear it as a scarf. Paint their cheeks and the tips of their noses red. Take musical instruments outside and parade around the block. Take pictures of your elves.
Variation for younger children: For babies, simply have a hat, red nose, and musical instrument on hand. Sing Christmas carols to them and they will love their own little parade!
Musical Christmas dance
Deposit several large Christmas images on the floor (purchase large gift bags and cut out the images). Begin the game with one image less than the number of players. This game is like musical chairs. Play Christmas music and have children dance. When the music stops, children must sit down on a Christmas image. The child who does not have an image is eliminated. Remember to remove one image before starting the music again.
O' Christmas tree
Play this song. One child pretends to be a Christmas tree. The other children hang garlands around the child. Take pictures and print them. (Open Christmas frame) Have children cut out, color, and glue their frame to a piece of cardboard and add their picture in the centre.
ACTIVITIES INVOLVING PARENTS
Create personalized Advent calendars for your group. Select different surprises with parents and insert them in sparkly envelopes numbered for each day of December. We have prepared suggestions of surprises (Open Advent calendar - Christmas). Print and place in envelopes. Leave the envelopes on the wall at children's eye level or deposit them in a special box.

EARLY SCIENCE
Magic snow
Combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of cornstarch.
The mixture is ready when it can easily be detached from the sides of the bowl.
The mixture seems liquid but if you hit it, it will not splash. The phenomenon is that the mixture is a liquid when it is not under pressure, yet it is a solid when under pressure. Give each child a small handful of the mixture. Suggest they make a ball with the magic snow. Children will quickly notice that the ball keeps its shape when they press on it but becomes liquid in the palm of their hand when they stop manipulating it. If you are doing this activity indoors, the activity can be done over a table. Have children wear their paint smocks. Cornstarch does not stain. Once the activity is over, simply brush children's clothes.

Children will love snacking on the cereal!
The elves' houses
Purchase tea biscuits such as "Social Tea" cookies. Assemble them with icing to make them look like tiny houses. Completely cover them with icing and decorate with small candy pieces.
Variation for younger children: Watch out for candy pieces which are very small. Replace icing with pudding. Larger cookies may ease manipulation. Be sure to have several towels nearby for cleanup!
Christmas potpourri
At snack time, keep orange or clementine peels. Add them to small pieces of thin fabric (lace or netting) along with cinnamon stick pieces and five cloves. Gather the fabric and tie with ribbon.
