Christmas Carol Lyrics - Ideas for Use

12 Days of Christmas....

• Use as a sample for ordinal numbers, make up small copies of this printable using your printer settings so that there are 4 pages on 1 A4 sheet.  Then use these as blackline masters for children to cut up, mix them up, colour in and circle, highlight letter patterns etc,  then paste them back in order.

• Cut out the words for each day (and if you like, also cut off the picture) and paste onto bottom of A3 sheet or larger, children read and illustrate each day - make up a class big book.

• In groups, children make up their own lyrics using this one as a template, eg. on the 1st day of Christmas my _____________ gave to me, a ________________.  The group could then perform, or share their lyrics with the class.  Each group could also make a book with their original lyrics.

• Glue a copy onto coloured backing board, laminate and use as class reading reference.  Use whiteboard markers to find and circle all the interesting word patterns you can find.  Eg. rhyming words, words with double letters, number words, etc.

• Find phonic groupings within these words to match with A5 Phonics Printable Cards

• Use the midi file (in green boxes above) as backup music for performing this carol to parents!
