Activity ANSWERS

The easiest way to present some of the activities like the mysteries and writing races is to show them on your screen. The answers to the brainteaser stories have been placed on separate pages to avoid spoilers ruining the fun of being a Christmas detective. The writing races could be completed on scraps of paper from the recycling bin.

Some of the Christmas activities, such as the word search, anagrams, and number to words seasonal activities need to be photocopied. To promote classroom spirit and to save on photocopying, these activities could be completed in pairs. Again, to reduce the required amount of photocopying, you could put all of the answer keys up on your screen.

The Internet is not required for any of the games.

I hope that your students have lots of fun and festive spirit!
