8 Fun Korean Christmas Activities and Crafts
If you’re raising bilingual children, Christmas activities and crafts are a fun way to learn Korean while celebrating the holiday. When the second language at home feels special and relevant, kids are more likely to appreciate it.
To save you time, I’m sharing my children’s favorite holiday activities from over the years. I hope these simple ideas inspire your family to connect in Korean while celebrating Christmas!
Write a Letter to Santa
Make the tradition of writing letters to Santa a bilingual affair with a printable template featuring prompts in Korean and English.
