Printable Spanish Christmas Cards

If you celebrate Christmas, Christmas cards are a fun way for kids learning Spanish to use the language.  In Spanish, Christmas cards are tarjetas de Navidad, tarjetas navideñas or postales de Navidad, depending on the country. Cards are a good language activity because they are short and there is often an illustration to support the text. Also, context helps kids understand the Spanish; they know that the cards are sending Christmas wishes. In addition, the phrases used on these cards convey the cultural importance of Christmas and expressing heartfelt emotions.

There are websites that have free cards to personalize and print. Correomágico has Spanish printable cards with a variety of messages. There is a pop-up advertisement that opens when you click on the individual cards, but after you close that, there is a simple form to personalize the card. Then just click imprimir (print).
