Two festive lesson plans for busy teachers

In the northern hemisphere, the days are growing shorter and the nights a little colder and we’re getting ready for winter.

In preparation for Thanksgiving and Loi Krathong, which are being celebrated this week, and Hanukkah happening at the start of December, we’ve created two free lesson plans and activities which you can download and use in the classroom.

B1 level lesson on Thanksgiving and Loi Krathong for adults 

In this lesson, students read about one of the festivals and share information and new vocabulary with a partner. Afterwards, they talk about the things they’re thankful for and what they wish was different. The activities are suitable for teenage and adult students, with an intermediate (B1) level or above.

A2+ lesson plan on Hanukkah for young learners 

In this lesson, younger learners and teenagers with an elementary to pre-intermediate (A2-B1) level can find out more about the celebration and then write a text about a celebration in their country.

In both lesson plans the Learning Objectives are taken from the Global Scale of English (GSE) Teacher Toolkit.
