It’s the most wonderful time of the year! At this time all out beautiful schools are closing down for the December break, and parents are faced with five weeks of keeping their kids entertained in a healthy way. While you fill your days with searches for Elfie, Christmas crafts and visits to see the lights, 2Simple is here for all those in between moments.
We have a range of stocking fillers and Christmas activities to see you through the weeks ahead. From writing projects, to mash cams, word searches to quizzes, and everything in between, there is something to suit every age group over the coming weeks, and it can all be found in the Christmas area of Purple Mash.
Back by popular demand, the Purple Mash advent calendar will be launching once again on the 1st December, of course! From then on, head to the Display Boards tab of the sharing area every day to find a new digital treat. We don't want to ruin the surprise, but we will say this: be prepared to laugh!
If you'd prefer to create your own, it's 2Simple with Purple Mash. Take a look at this video to see how.
We have a wide range of writing projects that can be used throughout the festive period. Why not get students to design a poster to advertise their upcoming nativity production, write their list to Santa or even send him an email using 2Email. If you are wanting to link to other curriculum areas, then we have a project and a postcard template looking at the Christmas Day Truce in WWI, or you could tell the story of the Christmas journey. There are also a range of poetry projects to choose from – why not try our Christmas Poem available for the festive period for non-subscribers - think of it as a little gift from us to you.
The Christmas creativity can continue with a range of ready-made paint projects for your class to try. Children can create their own wrapping paper, then design their own stockings and add it to their own decorated tree. Children can also get creative and design their perfect Christmas top in time for Christmas Jumper Day. Not a subscriber to Purple Mash? You can still use this here.
Just like presents under the tree or turkey on Boxing Day, there's plenty more to discover in the Christmas area of Purple Mash. You could lose yourself in one of the games and quizzes, print and share a word search or two, or as ever transform yourself into an elf with the classic Mash Cam. And who doesn't want to be an elf?!
However you fill the days ahead, we at 2Simple would like to wish you and all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
