In the classroom or at home ........

Here I have a brand new remixed version of the "Genki Christmas" song as the 8th track on CD vol. IV. This song teaches a few basic Christmas words, then you can follow it up with the "What would you like for Christmas?" theme from CD 6.


If you celebrate Christmas, this is a great way for the kids to remember some Christmas vocab. As usual, adding gestures to the picture card and melody for each word makes it whole lot easier to remember!!




There�fs a snowman,
( mime a snowman shape with your hands)




And Santa Claus,
( hold your tummy )




A reindeer
( make your hands into antlers )



And a Christmas card.
( Open a Christmas card)





Christmas stocking,
( point to your foot )



Candy cane,
( lick a candy cane)



Lots of presents
( hold lots of presents)






And a Christmas tree.
( mime the shape of a Christmas Tree)


Recommended Games:

After singing this song, try the "Reindeer Race Game" or What colour is Christmas?
Or play some games with the Mini Cards!


There are more games on the Christmas Ideas page.

If you own any of the Genki English CDs, you can check out the worksheet to go with the song. For this theme it's a great advent calendar!
( Or if you order the set of CDs we'll send you a FREE printed copy of the worksheets books )



Worksheet:

Many children in the West have advent calendars, where they open a door each day to reveal a picture (or chocolate) and count down the days till Christmas! It also makes a good lesson plan! So on this Genki English worksheet the kids can make their own Advent Calendar. The worksheet is the front cover, where the kids can colour in the pictures. On separate pieces of paper, the kids also draw 24 smaller pictures. While the kids are doing this you need to cut around the dotted lines of each "door" on the worksheet (it's better to do this after the kids have finished colouring it!). Now put another sheet of blank A4 paper under the worksheet and fasten round the edges with tape. When the kids have finished all their smaller pictures you open the doors on the worksheet and stick one picture into the gap beneath each door. Close all the doors and enjoy opening one door everyday till Christmas!



On the CD....

On the CD there is the music (if you put it into a normal CD player), and the software section (if you put it in a suitable PC or Mac).


This song can be found on CD vol. IV !

Have a Very Genki Christmas!!
