The holiday season is a great time for fun, relaxation, and family bonding—but it can also be an opportunity for continued learning. If you’re looking to help your child keep practicing their English skills before they join our Christmas ESL Camp from December 16th to 19th, here are five creative ways to integrate language learning into your holiday activities at home:
1. Create a Holiday Vocabulary Wall
Dedicate a space at home to a “holiday word wall” where your child can add new English words they learn. Include festive vocabulary like ornament, carol, and gingerbread. This visual reminder reinforces learning and makes it easy for your child to practice daily.
2. Storytime with Holiday Books
Pick up holiday-themed children’s books and read them together. Choose stories that are simple enough for your child to understand but contain new words and phrases. Take turns reading aloud to practice pronunciation, or have your child retell the story in their own words to build confidence in speaking.
3. Christmas Cooking with a Language Twist
Holiday baking is fun and educational! Choose a recipe written in English, and guide your child through the process, explaining ingredients and cooking steps. This activity builds vocabulary and teaches imperative verbs such as mix, bake, and decorate.
4. Watch Festive Movies in English
Holiday movies are perfect for building listening skills. Choose age-appropriate films or shows in English and watch them together. You can pause occasionally to discuss what’s happening and ask questions about new words or expressions.
5. Create a Holiday Journal
Encourage your child to keep a journal of their holiday experiences. They can write short entries each day, describing what they did and how they felt. This practice helps with writing fluency and allows them to reflect on their day while practicing grammar and sentence structure.
