There is a lot of counting and adding happening in the famous carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. First, fill in the table to work out how many in total you receive of each gift, and how many gifts in total you receive each day. Then answer the additional questions.
We've pulled together all our seasonal resources from the last three years, and thrown in a few new ones too, so that you can create your own Christmas Holiday Countdown depending on age, ability and preferences. With games, puzzles, art and craft activities to choose from, as well as our interactive puzzle mystery story.
