Level: A2 and up Time: 90 min

As much as I enjoy talking about Christmas traditions in the UK and the US, this year I felt like doing something a little different. Instead of sticking to the usual topics, I decided to explore how people celebrate December in other parts of the world 🌍❄️

Have you ever heard of Hogmanay, Yalda, or Chaomos? I hadn’t either!

This worksheet offers:
🎄 a bit of reading
🎧 a bit of listening (yes, with Elmo from Sesame Street)
🌍 some CLIL vocabulary connected with astronomy and geography
🗣️ plenty of opportunities for discussion

All in all, it’s a fun, festive, and slightly different December ESL lesson that goes beyond Christmas — perfect for end-of-year classes that still need structure and learning with a seasonal feel.
