Secret Santa

As a class, we decided to make a Secret Santa activity. Each student is given a name of another student in class. However, nobody knows what name the others have been given. The students have to act like Santa Claus by giving this mystery person something small as a surprise. A limit on the amount to be spent was established (not exceeding €3). The aim of the activity is to appreciate small gifts and to emphasize that it is the thought that matters. By doing so we would also be spreading friendship and love – linking it to Religion by emphasizing the true meaning of Christmas. The students wanted the class teacher to participate as well 🙂

Now we’ll find out who our Secret Santa is during the Christmas Party on Thursday!

Learning about colours
