Have a Chat with Santa

As today is the first of December and Christmas is approaching, I thought today's activity could be a seasonal one, so today you can have a chat with Father Christmas, or Santa if you prefer and find out a bit more about him. The aim of this task is for you to practice your personal information questions. These are important as they help you to find out more about people?


You are going to use the 'This is Santa' website to have a text chat with Santa. You'll have to be very careful about your spelling and punctuation though as Santa can only understand grammatically correct sentences.

Task:

• Before you interview Santa, perhaps you could think of 8 - 10 questions that you would like to ask him.
• When you are ready, go to: http://www.thisissanta.com/ you'll see a picture of Santa and two text fields. Type your questions into the bottom field and then wait for the answers. They should appear in the top field.

I hope you enjoy chatting with Santa and come back tomorrow for more EFL ESL activities.
