About the Story — A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
In Charles Dickens’s 1843 novella, Ebenezer Scrooge receives a warning from his old business partner, Jacob Marley. Three Christmas spirits then show him scenes from the past, present, and future. By Christmas morning, Scrooge has a chance to act on what he has learned.
When you reach Fezziwig’s party, ask your readers what the young Scrooge remembers about working for him. Later, return to that scene when Scrooge decides how to treat Bob Cratchit.
For children who are still learning their letters, start with a familiar name from the chapter and say it aloud together before tracing it.
Inside the A Christmas Carol Worksheet Pack
The packet pairs early handwriting and coloring activities with character studies and two games inspired by scenes from the book.
For a mixed-age lesson, give a younger child the Bob Cratchit tracing page while an older reader finds a detail in the text that tells us what Bob is like as a father.
Here’s what’s included:
“The Three Spirits” Game
Take an adventure on three different game boards (one for each Christmas spirit) and explore how each ghost helps Scrooge reflect and change.
Fezziwig’s Christmas Party Game
A cheerful game that brings the joyful Victorian celebration to life with dancing, jokes, charades, and drawing prompts. (Includes QR codes for songs included in game play, so bring your phone!)
How to Use the Worksheets With the Book
After reading about the Cratchits’ Christmas dinner, invite children to describe Tiny Tim in their own words. Ask which detail in the story gave them that impression. After the final stave, revisit their answers and talk about what Scrooge does differently.
