Here are the activities (not for little children).
There are actions that children can perform as they sing.
This is the best video I could find showing the actions.

Christmas traditions in Britain

What is a mince pie?
What happens in a pantomime?
This excellent site, which I have recommended in previous posts, has an excellent section about all aspects of a Britsh Christmas.
The links in the left hand column take you to individual pages with short descriptions  as well as clear photos.

Activity - make a monster

This is great fun!
You can choose the body colour, eyes nose, mouth, ears, arms and legs and then make the monster dance, sing, sneeze, shout and blow up!
