A lovely site: write to Santa, virtual cards, interactive games, songs & stories, recipes. the ‘plan du site' gives a good overview. Tell pupils not to download anything and to close the adverts as they come.

Jennifer's Language Page: Jennifer seems to spend all her time collecting words and phrases in different languages. There are languages here that I had never heard about before. I found a link to over 300 different ways of saying "Merry Christmas"

There's a site with craft activities, some attractive French virtual cards and clip art inter alia - not much in the way of games but could amuse quieter students. Each activity has three headings: how the activity develops the child, what you need, and how to do it.

Stille Nacht: Read the fascinating story (in German or English) about the creation of this famous Christmas Carol in Oberndorf, Austria, 1818. Listen to one of the most moving renderings you have ever heard - it'll bring tears to your eyes. Also the advent calendar is back, with its interactive features, and so are
"Christmas in words", "customs and specialities" and "places to go" -
with regular updates throughout the festive period!
