Would you rather…
Festive choices about presents, Santa, snow and holiday traditions. They work for classroom parties, family gatherings and office holiday get-togethers.
How to use these at Christmas
Use them as a classroom countdown with one question a day in December, or as a calm game at the class holiday party. For writing practice, have students pick a side and explain their answer in three sentences.
At home, they fill the time on long drives to relatives, while decorating the tree or at the table after dinner. They also work as a light icebreaker for office holiday parties.
