I wanted to do something really nice with my class for the month of December, something that was Covid friendly, simple to implement and didn’t cost a fortune. I spotted the idea of an Advent calendar on Ms. Kelly’s instagram page and decided to use it in my own classroom. Each child decorated a ‘door’ (page folded in half) with a number and then we worked together to come up with a list of fun things to do each day. We didn’t include activities for the weekends as they were things we were going to do in school so we needed 17/18 in total. Here’s our list …

  • Night off homework

  • Extra yard

  • Games afternoon

  • Extra tracksuit day

  • Wear fluffy socks

  • Decorate the classroom

  • Extra P.E.

  • Treat day

  • Football on yard

  • Art and Christmas songs

  • Christmas cards

  • Popcorn

  • Extra iPad time

  • Hot chocolate

  • Movie afternoon
