December is just a few days away, so it’s time to start Christmas crafts!  To kick off Christmas season, we used upcycled materials and made paper roll Christmas trees.  Then, we turned it into a multilingual sight word matching game in Chinese, English, and Korean.  This paper roll activity is very easy to adapt to your child’s age, and they also make cute Christmas decorations!

However, you can also match numbers, basic Chinese characters such as 木 (mù / wood), capital and lower case English letters, and the Hangul alphabet.  The paper roll Christmas trees can be adapted to your child’s learning level!

Here are the trees with all of the English, Chinese, and Korean words matched up!  Don’t they make beautiful Christmas decorations?

If you are an avid paper roll collector like me, you could even make 25 paper roll Christmas trees for an advent countdown!!Paper Roll Christmas Trees: A Word-Matching Game in English, Chinese, and Korean

My daughter liked this activity so much that she made her own colorful paper roll Christmas trees!
