What’s your favourite: Xmas games

 

Instructions for teachers

Xmas favourites answers on the board

Students ask questions to get the answers below. This is more personalised if you add your own real favourite decorations, etc, but can also be done with students just asking questions that would get those kinds of answers. To make the game more challenging and fun, draw a target on the board with numbers 1 to 17 for students to hit with a sticky ball, paper aeroplane, etc to be able to ask a question to try to get that answer below.

Xmas favourites guessing game

The teacher chooses one of the topics/ questions below and asks about themselves, e.g. “What is my favourite (Xmas) present?” and see if students can guess the true answer.　This can be done with the list of possible answers to help, with no help, or only getting the help if they can’t guess without it.
