How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic that you can use to spice up your English class around Christmas time.
Here are a few ideas that you can use to get everyone in a Grinchy mood at Christmas time:
- Read How The Grinch Stole Christmas aloud to the class, be sure to use before, during and after reading activities.
- Turn one of those days after the exams into a movie day. Show the movie (for the older students) or show the old Chuck Jones cartoon version (for the primary students) complete with popcorn and refreshments.
- After viewing the movies, hold a trivia contest using this Grinch quiz (scroll down for the answers.)
- If you have to put a Christmas production together, you can take a short snippet of the original Chuck Jones cartoon and have the kids read the script while the audience watches the cartoon on screen.
- Click here for a copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas Reader’s Theater script that the students can read after they have read the book, watched the movie, and played the trivia game.
