12 Days of Movement - Merry Christmas

Writer's picture: Rachel McCannRachel McCann

The following is a gift from us to the hard working teachers who need a fun way to keep their class motivated and having fun during the holiday season. Our version of The Night Before Christmas and The 12 Days of Christmas. I hope you enjoy it.


‘Tis a few weeks till Christmas - the year’s almost through.

Everyone is so busy - there’s so much to do.

Students are so excited it’s that time of year

They are filled with energy and end of year cheer

But for school teachers this is no time for fun

Children aren’t on task, no works getting done

The students are excited all over the school

Their restless, unsettled, their behaviour woeful


So let’s do something different, let’s make a change

Swap seat work for movement – a healthy exchange

Use the following adaption of an old Christmas song

Activities so easy everyone can sing along

Movement breaks designed as daily activity

Progressively growing from a single burpee

A fun way to break up the time students must sit

To stand up and get moving, have fun and get fit

A chance for teachers to move with their students

A way to focus on things other than food and presents

It does not really matter when you start

After maths, or English, or just before art

Find a space to yourself and take off your shoes

The song tells you exactly what you have to do

Just make sure you have warmed up before you begin

Your body for movement and your voices to sing



So that was 10 days of activities

To help at this time of festivities


I hope you enjoyed these 10 days of fun

And it helped you to get your class work done


For lots of other ways to put fun in your day

Check out the activities at Learn From Play!
