3. Google Santa Tracker

All December long, your students can go on an adventure in Santa village. They explore, learn, and play with Santa’s elves. There’s a code lab, “wrap” battle, elf maker and much more! Students can also learn about Holiday traditions. On the 24th or December you can finally look for Santa. It’s definitely worth it! Check it out right here:

4. Google Earth Holiday Traditions

This is basically a “Christmas around the world” lesson plan. Teach your students the differences between holiday traditions all over the world with the Google Earth Holiday traditions map. Your students will learn all about cultural differences between holiday traditions. It works just like a quiz.

5. Hour of code - The Grinch

Maybe you already know, but in case you don’t: there’s a new movie about the Grinch, the green monster that hates Christmas. What’s more, the Grinch has a Christmas code game as well. Teach your students how to code with the Grinch. Students are flying a drone and have to steal all the presents. If they make it to the last level, they get the chance to make their own level for their classmates to try.

I think your students should be ready for Christmas by now! These Christmas games will help set the mood. If you need more Christmas lesson ideas, you should take a look at this website.
