Pair the game cards with a reinforcing seasonal game to add a jolly twist. (Reindeer Antler Toss, Don't Break The Ice. Penguin Pile-Up...) These trivia game cards are great on their own too!

Winter, Christmas, and related seasonal vocabulary and background knowledge
Auditory attention, memory, and comprehension
WH questions - who, what, when, where.
Conversational skills
WHAT'S INCLUDED?40 fun and colorful game cardsInstruction guide for growing vocabularySpace for data collectionAnswer KeyNO PLANNING:Print out the cards and cut them apart.
