 Amazing winter and Christmas ESL activity your students will love, write an article for a local newspaper. Wow look. It's all white outside and everything is covered in snow. What is happening? Write a news article or announcement for the local newspaper to break the news of this event. Are you ready for winter? Did you purchase all your Christmas gifts? Do you have a warm coat? Imagine how this is going to affect your neighborhood. This is a fun activity to report a real life emergency. It's especially fun to play in a Tefl destination where winter normally doesn't happen, and the students have never experienced snow. It's also helpful to show some more visuals to get the students thinking.
