If you want to act out a story, why not do it Helicopter Stories style. Simply read a winter story, and invite the children to get involved in the acting in the same way you do for the stories they create themselves.
As an option for an unusual Christmas Story, we have included a beautiful example in The Christmas Basket. It’s called The Snow Tree and explores what happens when Little Bear wakes up to find all the colours have disappeared, and the world around him is covered in a blanket of snow.
Alternatively, you could get your children familiar with this story (or any other) and invite them to retell it in their own words. Then, scribe these stories verbatim, and you will have several versions of The Snow Tree unique to your class. All that’s left to do is act these out in front of the parents!
