Christmas Vocabulary and Riddles Board Game
A Christmas-y board game with riddles for your students who think they’ve mastered Christmas vocabulary!
One of my favorite types of activities to make, and I’ve only gotten better at coming up with riddles! While the animals one works well, it is not the end-all-be-all of creativity… In any case, I’m happy to present to you the Christmas vocabulary (and riddles) board game! Below you will find the suggested answers, but students may surprise you with their own! In order to get the most out of this game, I’d recommend using a coin instead of a die, as you’ll be able to hit more squares. Heads, you move one space, tails two. You could cross out a square that was already answered correctly, making sure the next student passes over it on their turn – avoiding repeats.
Or you could just use them as fun riddles to ask your students at the end of class! Especially any class that has to do with Christmas vocabulary.
Here are the suggested answers, but be open-minded!
