Stocking Stuffers - December 19, 2018
Holiday Lesson Set - Lesson 07e
What will Santa put in your stocking this year?
Students receive a set of cards with items they were given in their Christmas stockings.
The other students in the group ask Yes / No Questions to identify what the items are.
When all of the items have been identified, students then trade their less wanted items for more desirable ones.
Although this lesson is very fun, there are a lot of fundamental elements of the English language being used including subject / verb agreement, singular vs. plural and count vs. non-countable nouns, articles, direct objects and possessive pronouns.
For other Christmas lessons, see:
Call to Santa (See Christmas Lesson 07a above)
Christmas Crossword Puzzle (See Christmas Lesson 07b above)
Christmas Lists (See Christmas Lesson 07c above)
Christmas Word Circle (See Christmas Lesson 07d above)
Santa Quiz (See Christmas Lesson 07f below)
Silly Christmas Survey (See Christmas Lesson 07g below) -and-
Silly Xmas (Adult) Survey (See Christmas Lesson 07h below).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hello, Kurt!
It’s always very stimulating to get my e-mail every Sunday morning because I know there will be one of your lessons in it. I read them every week and have tried to put them in practice. I must say they really work! Thanks a lot for the great lessons. As a teacher and teacher trainer, sometimes I run out of ideas. Your lessons are very important, not only for me but for my trainees as well.
Best regards,
Ilza Nascimento
I love your material and use it often. Your material is the best on the web and a great value. I hope to see more material in the near future.
Once again thanks,
Mike Stockwell
Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!

Hi Kurt,
Your collection of lesson worksheets is really great. It makes my teaching much easier and funnier. I work in an International House School in Ukraine. We all enjoy your lessons, especially our students. Your illustrations are just great.

Hi Kurt,
Your customer service is excellent and I think you have a great product. I am using the lessons and I love the fact that I have ready made materials and instructions. These lessons are so great for teaching privately, in institutes and also add to my classroom themes in university.
Keep up the good work.
Kay
