Christmas Jumper Day is a nationwide fundraising event in the UK, organised by the charity Save the Children.
People are encouraged to make a small donation to the charity in exchange for wearing their Christmas jumper for the day. It’s a fun way to celebrate the festive season while raising money for a good cause.
Wearing Christmas Jumpers: Children and staff are encouraged to come to school wearing a Christmas-themed jumper. These can range from simple designs featuring Christmas trees or reindeer, to more extravagant ones with lights or music.
Craft Activities: Christmas Jumper Day can also be a good opportunity for craft activities. Children could design their own paper Christmas jumper or decorate a plain jumper with fabric paints or other craft materials.
Learning Opportunities: The event can be used as a teaching moment to discuss the concept of charity and helping others. It’s also a chance to talk about Christmas traditions in the UK and around the world.
Remember to let parents know in advance about the day, so they have time to prepare a Christmas jumper for their child.
