African Christmas word search & quiz
Christmas word search and quiz with an African twist
This word search is a fun thing for your pupils to do as Christmas approaches. It reminds them of a few words and countries that they may already associate with the continent, whilst introducing them to thinking about what kind of things many African children eat and receive on Christmas day. The search also includes some alternative gifts - as for children living in poverty, these are the best presents they could ever get! Plus, the quiz with clues to our gifts is a simple way of engaging children in our work.
