Christmas Parts of Speech Activity - Rewriting Holiday Carols Song Lyrics Remix
Bring laughter and learning together with this engaging Christmas parts of speech activity that puts a festive twist on grammar practice. In this creative lesson, students review key parts of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, and interjections—by generating words without knowing how they will be used. After completing three word collection sheets, students transfer their responses into familiar holiday song templates for “Deck the Halls,” “Jingle Bells,” and “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.” The result is a hilarious and often nonsensical remix of classic carols that reinforces grammar concepts in a memorable way. This activity works well as a lighthearted review before winter break and encourages collaboration, creativity, and confidence as students share their remixed songs aloud.
Included In This Christmas Parts of Speech Activity:
➡️ 3 Holiday Song Remix Sheets: Students begin by completing three half-page remix sheets where they are prompted to supply specific parts of speech without seeing the song lyrics. This keeps the focus on identifying and correctly using nouns, verbs, adjectives, and interjections. You can encourage students to be creative and playful with their word choices, while still ensuring they understand and apply each part of speech accurately.
➡️ 3 Christmas Carols Lyrics Templates: After completing their word lists, students transfer their answers into the ready-made lyric templates for “Jingle Bells,” “Deck the Halls,” and “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.” Seeing their unexpected word choices inserted into the songs creates instant engagement and laughter. Students can then read or perform their remixed versions for the class, turning grammar review into an interactive and festive experience that strengthens their understanding of parts of speech.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Presto plans are my go-to plans whenever I want to shake things up and get students excited. Great graphics and engaging activities to keep students learning. 100 % recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a fantastic idea! I have one class in particular that is really picky about what they sing- I'm looking forward to having them write parodies of Christmas songs for our concert so they have a little more ownership of our repertoire.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So awesome! Turned out hilarious! Thanks!
