Lekcja świąteczna dla klasy IV szkoły podstawowej.

Karta pracy dla uczniów klasy IV do przeprowadzenia przed świętami Bożego Narodzenia. Jest oparta na tekście piosenki "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" (Gayla Peevey). Zadaniem uczniów jest w trakcie słuchania nagrania (dostępne w serwisie YouTube) odnaleźć brakujące w tekście słowa. Treść piosenki stwarza okazję do wprowadzenia słownictwa związanego ze świętami i tradycjami bożonarodzeniowymi w domach uczniów.
