Christmas Activities for Early Finishers

Christmas Websites - play and enjoy


Here are the top eight Christmas websites



Go to each of them and do at least 1 activity from each website

Most importantly enjoy and have fun!



Top Shelf offers Christmas jokes, games, crafts, Christmas Carols and so much more to keep kids busy while waiting for Santa Claus.



Apples for the Teacherlets you have fun while decorating the tree and it’s surroundings.



Ten Little Snowmen is a great site to learn to follow simple instruction while having fun building a snowman.



The Toy Box is where kids will have hours of fun playing dress up with Santa and his elves.



Elf Yourself is fun for all ages. Choose a face from your own photos and turn it into a dancing elf complete with music. They make great online Christmas Cards.



Design Your Own Gingerbread House is great fun for all ages.



The Christmas Room Maker has everything you need to create a house filled with your favorite things.



North Pole shows what’s happening in Santa’s Secret Village. Kids can create their own story book, play games, read Christmas stories, write a letter to Santa and send Christmas Postcards to their friends.




noradsanta.org - An oldie, but a goodie. Way back in the 1950s, the North American Aerospace Defence Command realised that its missile-tracking systems could be used to monitor the position of Santa as he sped around the globe on Christmas Eve. 


miniclip.com - Find this game (it's called Ice Slide) and many more under the heading "Christmas Games". Perhaps, since there's not much chance of snow outside your house this Christmas, you might enjoy an on-screen snowball fight instead ("Snowball Warfare" is a top-quality example).


historicfood.com - Doubtless it has occurred to you that the mincemeat in mince pies does not, nowadays, contain minced meat, but must have done in the past. Earlier, veal or even tongue was a commonplace ingredient, but in Victorian times minced roast beef became the mainstay of these spicy, fruity meat pies. If you'd like to taste mince pies as Queen Victoria knew them, to a recipe by her master cook, you will find it on the website of the food historian Ivan Day (scroll down to the bottom and there's a link that mentions "Victorian Christmas recipes").
