What ENGLISH words do you know, regarding Christmas?

Text

Since you've still got a PTO week reading test to come, I want to practice this with all of you. The text is about Christmas in the UK. I also have an extra hard version!

After this, you may think of an answer ( in Dutch or English) to these following questions (done early? get your book and read).

1: How is Santa Claus also called? 

2: When is Boxing Day and what do the Britains do on this day?

3: Why do the Christians celebrate Christmas? 

4: What are people doing on Christmas Eve?

Activity explanation part 1

When you have the correct answer, you raise your hand and stay quiet

The group in which all members have raised their hands, wins the round

Activity explanation part 2

The students marked in yellow are responsible for the translation (Dictionaries from me)
