A1
Interactive English Games (A1/A2)
Become Santa’s Helper – Christmas Break-Out is a festive, multi-skill ESL adventure designed to bring holiday magic straight into your classroom. This ready-to-use breakout activity turns your learners into trainee elves at the North Pole Academy, where they complete themed challenges using vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening skills, and creative problem-solving. Teacher's notes include all the challenges.
Students move through five interactive stations:
Elf Vocabulary Class – Match Christmas-themed riddles with vocabulary
Reindeer Art Class – Listen and identify winter clothing using Present Continuous
Cooking Class – Follow simple cooking instructions and kitchen vocabulary
Snowman Class – Read and select descriptions of winter outfits and colors
Elf’s Duties – Read a daily-routine story and answer comprehension questions
✓Zero prep — just share the link and your students can play independently.
✓ Strengthens language skills while keeping students immersed in the Christmas spirit.
✓ Supports mixed-ability groups — multimodal tasks (listening, visual, text-based).
✓ Great for December lessons — morning warm-ups, homework, early-finishers, or Christmas fun days.
✓ Encourages autonomy — students can navigate at their own pace and self-correct.
