These are two wordsearches with a Christmas theme. Wordsearch 1 contains secular words to do with Christmas, whilst Wordsearch 2 has words relating to the nativity.

This activity can be used to make a Christmas heart-shaped basket or a container for Valentine's Day treats. It can be quite fiddly, but the finished baskets look great and can be filled with sweets or small cookies.

This is an eye-catching card to make for any occasion. I have included full instructions, including a photograph of the finished card and a template for the balloon shapes. These cards could be made for Christmas or any celebration. You could add more details depending upon the context.

This sheet contains several different puzzles based on magic squares. In each bauble the number is given which each line must add up to and the numbers which can be used are written next to the baubles. The second sheet contains the answers.

This is a path-finding maths puzzle using the 3 times table. Once the puzzle is finished, you can use a mirror to show a symmetrical figure. It is not a perfect picture, but you should be able to see a snowman!

This is a reading comprehension activity based on the Elizabethan festival of Twelfth Night. I have used this as an activity to complete a unit of study on the Tudors which comes to a conclusion in December. It can also be used as part of a short historical project on Christmas and how it was celebrated in different historical periods.
