Duck and Goose: It’s Time for Christmas – Animated Book Read Aloud | ESL Kids Video

Duck and Goose books work with very young learners because almost nothing happens in them and the language repeats. Two friends disagree about something small, the pictures carry the plot, and the sentences stay short enough to be understood on first hearing.

For a Christmas lesson that is an advantage rather than a limitation. The class meets the seasonal vocabulary inside a story it can follow completely, and the natural follow-up – what do you do at this time of year, and what would you rather do – needs no worksheet at all.
