Jingle, Jingle! Christmas Words for Kindergarten

Learning Objectives

• Say and recognize eight Christmas words.
• Use the sentence I see a … with the new words.
• Count Christmas pictures up to five.

How to Use This Resource

• Show the slides and hold up each flashcard. Children repeat the word and do its action (ring a bell, make a star with their hands).
• Do worksheet activities 1 and 2 together, saying each word aloud.
• Children complete activities 3 to 6 with help, then use the quiz and take home the homework page.

Classroom Activity Ideas

• Ring the bell: say a word; children ring a pretend bell when they hear bell or show a star when they hear star.
• Mystery present: wrap a flashcard in paper; children guess the word as you open it slowly.
• Decorate the tree: stick flashcards on a paper tree and say "I see a …" for each one.

Differentiation

Support: focus on four words (tree, star, present, bell) and let children point instead of saying. Challenge: children add a color: "I see a red present."

Assessment

Use the worksheet and quiz to check that children recognize the words. Use the rubric while children say the words with the flashcards and show their tree drawings.

Teacher Tips

Not every family celebrates Christmas. Present the words as part of a season many people around the world enjoy, and invite children to share other celebrations they know.
