One way could be to put students into pairs and run a virtual treasure hunt. Give Student A the headset and give Student B a checklist. How many items can Student A describe to Student B and tick off before the time runs out? For higher-level learners, you could encourage them to use prepositions of place and direction. Have Student A describe the location of items while Student B listens carefully and draws a map based on Student A’s descriptions. - Christmas Village](https://edvr.se/YRT-qSa-hdN/christmas-village-snow) - Twelve Days of Christmas](https://edvr.se/YRT-qSa-hdN/twelve-days-christmas) ***Holiday-themed 3D Models*** These 3D models offer a variety of creative opportunities to expand students' vocabulary.
