Christmas Role Play – Wish Workshop | EYFS & KS1

Bring thoughtful gift-making to your Christmas role-play area with the Christmas Wish Workshop.

Children choose a wish, design and make a gift, wrap it, then organise its delivery. From creating a cosy bed for a teddy to making something to cheer up a friend, the activities encourage imaginative play, purposeful writing and teamwork.

What’s included:

• Christmas Wish Workshop entrance sign
• Five station signs: Wish Desk, Design Station, Making Station, Wrapping Station and Delivery Station
• Wish form with space for drawing and writing
• Six illustrated wish request cards
• Six workshop job badges with name spaces
• Four gift tags and two delivery slips
• Six illustrated problem-solving cards
• Teacher guide with setup ideas, vocabulary and discussion prompts
• Three separate Christmas colouring PDFs: teddy’s workshop, reindeer and gingerbread house

Opportunities for learning

Encourage speaking and listening, early writing, designing, making and practical problem-solving. The workshop also provides opportunities to compare box sizes, measure parcels and think about choosing a gift for someone else.

Use clean cardboard boxes, construction materials, paper scraps and classroom craft supplies to bring the workshop to life. Introduce the problem cards to extend the play: what could children do when a gift is too big for its box or a parcel has lost its label?

Suitable for EYFS and KS1 role play, continuous provision and festive creative activities.

Format: One 8-page printable workshop PDF plus three separate single-page colouring PDFs. Resources are supplied in a fixed PDF format.
