Pin the Ornament

Submitted by: Brent Badger     Borrowed from / inspired by: Pin the Tail on the Donkey game     Date added: 12-09-08     Edited by: まだ

 

Brief Outline:  Decorate the Christmas tree.

 

Materials Needed:

  • PinTheOrnament worksheets - there are two: Ornaments and Santa Clause
  • Chalkboard

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. After dividing the class into groups, draw a naked Christmas tree on the chalkboard for each team.
  2. Two students from each team play at the same time - one student wears the Santa mask and holds an ornament while the other student directs the masked student to the Christmas tree to affix it.  Once completed, students rotate and repeat the process.
  3. The winner is the team to affix all their ornaments first.

 

Variations:

  • To increase or decrease the time of the game, add/remove ornaments.
  • To make it more challenging for the students, draw boxes inside of the naked Christmas trees.  The 'Santa' student must attach the ornament inside one of the boxes.

 

Teaching Suggestions:

  • To prepare the Santa mask, cut it out and laminate it.  Then, puch holes on either side of the mask and attach a long string or rubberbands so it can be attached to a student's head.
  • To prepare the ornaments, cut them out, laminate them and attach magnets to the back.
