Are you looking for some fun Christmas-themed games and activities to use in lessons and group classes this month?  Or something new and different to keep your student engaged and motivated through these last few weeks of the semester?  

Over the last couple of years, I’ve posted a number of Christmas games, worksheets and resources.  You have to do a bit of hunting through this site to find all of them, so I thought I’d put together a quick reference post to make them a bit more accessible.  Here’s the Pianimation Christmas List!
