Christmas at Hogwarts

Students are invited to Hogwarts to help the Christmas Keeper, who is responsible for bringing the holiday charm to life. The Keeper needs their assistance to restore the festive magic. By completing magical tasks and finding the Keeper, students will uncover a powerful Christmas secret and experience the wonder of a Hogwarts-style holiday adventure.

For the best experience, it's recommended to use a laptop.
Before the lesson, send video invitations to your students (extra materials).

✨ Discuss the Christmas traditions at Hogwarts and choose your favourite one.
✨ Choose a companion to help you along the way.
✨ Learn new phrases to talk about Christmas while practising casting spells.
✨ Solve the Christmas riddles.
✨ Complete the Sorting Hat quiz to discover which house you belong to.
✨ Decode magical messages to uncover secret locations.
✨ Create your own potion to reveal hidden text about Christmas traditions.
✨ Complete a magic quiz to check your understanding.
✨ Meet the Christmas Keeper and complete the grammar quiz to prove you are a true believer in miracles.
✨ Cast the spell to transform Hogwarts into a Christmas Wonderland.
✨ Put the lyrics of ‘Carol of the Bells’ in order to add a festive buzz.
✨ Collect your present and complete optional activities if you have extra time.

Consider using festive Zoom backgrounds to create a magical Christmas atmosphere during the lesson.

This quest works well for both individual and group lessons:

For individual lessons: Share the link with your student and recommend using a laptop or tablet for the best experience.

For group lessons: Divide the class into pairs or teams. Share the link in the chat, and one person from each team can share their screen. Everyone works together to solve the puzzles, or you can make it a fun competition to see which team finishes first. Use Zoom breakout rooms to organise teams and move students between rooms.

You can also have the whole group work together to solve the challenges as one big team.
