squirrel

Because it’s a “Chris”tmas tree. To find the answer hidden within the letters, it might be easier if you write them down on paper. You could also imitate the animal that’s the answer. Try various approaches so the children can understand.

Rudolf

The reindeer pulling the sleigh is named Rudolph. When choosing alternative names, please make sure they don’t overlap with the children’s names. Including some Japanese-style names can also make it fun. Many children may not be familiar with the name Rudolph. You can just imagine them thinking hard about it.

Party

Some preschools may hold Christmas parties. The word “party” has an exciting ring to it for children, doesn’t it? Even if there isn’t a Christmas event for the whole school, why not prepare some fun activities so the class can still have a great time?

red

In Japan, the well-known Santa Claus wears red, but around the world there are Santas who wear blue or green outfits as well. So you could say all three answers in this quiz are correct. You might also present the results creatively so that there are no wrong answers.

Ho-ho-ho

We write Santa Claus’s laugh as “Ho-ho-ho!” It’s not a very familiar way of laughing for Japanese people. Try imitating it with the children, or perform it when Santa appears at a Christmas party. It might even become a fad to imitate it in class.

sleigh

That’s Santa Claus, who lives in Finland, riding in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. In regions like Australia, where Christmas falls in summer, he comes riding a surfboard from the sea. Thinking about it that way completely changes the image of Santa Claus, which is pretty amusing, isn’t it?

white

Speaking of Santa Claus’s features, a fine, fluffy white beard comes to mind! You’ll probably have chances to use cotton to represent it during Christmas crafts. It also sounds fun to buy a fake beard and play pretend with the kids.
