I've really enjoyed teaching a lesson about christmas this week. I talk about the traditions we have in Britain, and also ask them about the traditions in Korea. We read some christmas cracker jokes together... simple ones they can understand:
Which athlete is warmest in the winter?
A LONG JUMPER
What kind of paper likes music?
WRAPPING PAPER
What did the sea say to santa?
NOTHING. IT JUST WAVED
Then I show pictures of me and my family in England celebrating christmas together. Then I explain about St Nicholas, and how that is loosely linked to Santa Clause. Then I show a presentation that I made explaining who Jesus is, again it's very simple - enough for students to understand and remain interested, but i've been pleasantly surprised at how well they have listened to that part... though it might be something to do with me giving them all a sweets as a christmas present just before.
And to top it all off we watch some of the MR BEAN - CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Good fun.
