Christmas celebration

Christmas is celebrated on December 25th each year. It is originally a religious celebration, marking the day that Jesus Christ was born. Nowadays however, it is celebrated by both religious and non religious people alike. Usually people get together with family, friends and loved ones, enjoy a meal together and exchange gifts. It is, on the whole, a "warm and fuzzy" time of year.

March Activities: Stories in cartoons and TV

Stories – in films, books and TV series – are the inspiration for  March activities. At A1 Movers and A2 Flyers, we ask our younger students to write about their favourite character.

My favourite character
Level: A1 Movers / A2 Flyers
Content: description
Interaction: whole class and individual activity
Time: 55 minutes

Warm up (10’) – whole class
 Do you watch TV?
 How often do you watch TV?
 What’s your favourite TV programme? Why?
 When is it on?
 Do you like going to the cinema? Why (not)?
 Who do you go to the cinema with?

Writing (15’) – individually
Think about your favourite cartoon character. Write 5 sentences about them. Write about:
1. The programme or book the character is in
2. What the character is like (Is it an animal? Is it an object? What colour is it? Is it
young or old?)
3. What the character can / cannot do
4. Who its friends are and what they do together
5. Why you like it or what makes it special

Don’t include the character’s name

1. My favourite character is in …
2. It is …
3. It can … but it can’t
4. Its friends are … and they … together
5. I think it is very special because it…


Reading and listening (15’) – whole class
When students have finished, the teacher should put all the pieces of paper in a bag. Students
will take turns to read the little descriptions. After reading each description aloud, the rest of
the group will have to guess who wrote the description and who they think the character is.

Follow up (15’) – individually
Students can draw their favourite character. They can put the drawings on the wall and then
go around the class looking at each other’s drawings. They can ask and answer questions
about the drawings.
