Search for christmas worksheets for class 1 and most results are American “grade 1” sheets full of snow days, dollars and Thanksgiving leftovers. Indian Class 1 children do better with contexts they know: a star lantern hanging outside a neighbour’s house, plum cake shared after the school concert, a decorated tree in the mall. This post gives you a five-day Class 1 Christmas plan for the last week before the winter break, with one free mini-worksheet a day that you can copy onto the board or into notebooks.

Quick answer: A good Class 1 Christmas week mixes five short tasks:
- Day 1: count and compare ornaments on two trees.
- Day 2: add gifts with sums to 20.
- Day 3: read and complete Christmas sight-word sentences.
- Day 4: solve a 6-word Christmas word search.
- Day 5: write three sentences in a “My Christmas” frame.
How to plan a Christmas activity for Class 1
Class 1 children (around ages 6 to 7) can usually read short sentences, add within 20 with objects or a number line and write two or three simple sentences with support. The festive week is a chance to revise all of that without it feeling like revision. Keep each session to 20 to 30 minutes: five minutes of talk, fifteen minutes of the worksheet and a few minutes of sharing.
Keep the tone inclusive. Many Class 1 classrooms have children of every faith, so talk about what people see and do at Christmas time: trees, lights, carols, gifts, cake and kindness. A simple line works well: “Christians celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus, and many people enjoy the lights and treats with their friends and neighbours.” For a broader list of classroom ideas, see our Christmas activities for the classroom.
| Day | Subject | Skill | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maths | Counting, comparing more and fewer | 20 min |
| 2 | Maths | Addition within 20 | 25 min |
| 3 | English | Sight words, reading sentences | 20 min |
| 4 | English | Spelling, visual scanning | 20 min |
| 5 | English | Sentence writing | 30 min |
Day 1: Count the ornaments (Christmas maths for Class 1)
Draw two simple trees on the board. On Tree A draw 3 red balls, 4 stars and 2 bells. On Tree B draw 5 red balls, 1 star and 2 bells. Children copy the questions and answer them.
- How many red balls are on Tree A?
- How many stars are on Tree A?
- How many ornaments are on Tree A altogether?
- How many ornaments are on Tree B altogether?
- Which tree has more red balls? How many more?
- Both trees have the same number of one ornament. Which one?
Answers: 1) 3 2) 4 3) 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 4) 5 + 1 + 2 = 8 5) Tree B, 2 more (5 − 3 = 2) 6) bells (2 each)
Extension for quick finishers: “Draw your own tree with 10 ornaments. Use two colours.” Ask them to write the number sentence, such as 6 + 4 = 10.
Day 2: Add the gifts (sums to 20)
Tell a short story: “Diya and Kabir are wrapping gifts for their neighbours.” Children solve each sum. Let them draw boxes or use a number line if they need to.
- Diya wraps 8 gifts. Kabir wraps 5 gifts. How many gifts in all?
- There are 9 cookies in one tin and 6 in another. How many cookies?
- Aarav hangs 7 stars on the window and 7 stars on the door. How many stars?
- Meera has 12 cards. She makes 4 more. How many cards now?
- The choir has 10 children. 9 more join. How many children sing?
- Riya puts 6 candles on the table and 8 on the shelf. How many candles?
Answers: 1) 8 + 5 = 13 2) 9 + 6 = 15 3) 7 + 7 = 14 4) 12 + 4 = 16 5) 10 + 9 = 19 6) 6 + 8 = 14

Day 3: Christmas sight-word sentences (English)
Write the word bank on the board: is, the, a, we, can, see, my, big, red, it. Children fill each gap with one word from the bank, then read the sentence aloud to a partner.
- I ___ a big tree. (see)
- ___ star is on top. (The)
- My cake ___ yummy. (is)
- ___ can sing a carol. (We)
- Look at the ___ bell. (red)
- This is ___ gift for you. (a)
- Mum made a ___ plum cake. (big)
- I ___ hang the lantern. (can)
The answer for each gap is shown in brackets for the teacher. When you write it for children, leave the brackets out. Some gaps can take more than one word (for example, “my gift” also works in sentence 6), so accept any sentence that makes sense.
Day 4: A 6-word Christmas word search
Copy this grid into a table on the board or a notebook. The words go across (left to right) or down.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | S | T | A | R | K | P |
| B | A | B | E | L | L | M |
| C | N | T | R | E | E | O |
| D | T | G | I | F | T | Q |
| E | A | C | A | K | E | W |
| F | H | U | Z | D | Y | N |
Find: STAR, BELL, TREE, GIFT, CAKE, SANTA
Answers: STAR is row A, squares 1 to 4. BELL is row B, squares 2 to 5. TREE is row C, squares 2 to 5. GIFT is row D, squares 2 to 5. CAKE is row E, squares 2 to 5. SANTA goes down column 1, rows A to E. For a bigger 10-word grid and more puzzles, see our Christmas word search for kids.

Day 5: “My Christmas” writing frame
End the week with a short piece of writing. Talk first: what do children see in their area at Christmas time? Many will mention star lanterns (in Goa and Kerala these paper stars hang outside homes), fairy lights, a church choir, cake from the bakery or a school concert. Then give this frame:
- At Christmas, I see ______________.
- I like to eat ______________.
- I will be kind by ______________.
Model answer: At Christmas, I see a big star lantern. I like to eat plum cake. I will be kind by sharing my cake with my friend.
Check for a capital letter at the start, a full stop at the end and a finger space between words. Children who finish early can draw a picture to match their sentences.
Ready-to-print option: the Christmas worksheet PDF
If you would rather print than copy from the board, the Christmas Worksheets for Kids PDF (₹79, 30 A4 pages) was written for Indian homes and classrooms. Every activity page is marked Easy or Medium, and the Medium pages suit Class 1: picture sums to 10, a maze, a 10-word Christmas word search, a “My Letter to Santa” wish-list page and the crafts. There are also sharing-cookies subtraction stories and pages for tracing and writing Christmas words on four-line guides. It also has seven colouring pages, a colour-by-number tree, patterns, a 1–20 dot-to-dot star lantern, spot the difference, a fold-up card, a slot-together paper star, a kindness checklist, answer keys, a 10-day holiday tracker and a certificate.
Note that the pack’s addition goes to 10, so the Day 2 sums above are a good stretch for stronger Class 1 children.

Tips to keep the last week calm
- Same time, same routine. Do the worksheet straight after assembly, when children are fresh.
- One page, one skill. Don’t mix sums and spellings on the same sheet in festival week.
- Display, don’t grade. Pin the “My Christmas” writing on a class wall with a paper star in the middle.
- Plan for absent days. Many families travel before the break, so keep each day self-contained.
- Send one sheet home. Parents appreciate a short holiday task, but keep it to one page.
