‘Kevin’s Christmas Journey’ sees Kevin and friends join young people aged 5–14 in a selection of 15 quick and flexible starter activities and six longer cross-curricular activity ideas that offer links to PSHE, science, design and technology, English and maths.

Whether it’s solving recipe-related maths problems with Kevin or creating their own healthy advent calendars, these resources are designed to engage pupils with problem-solving and creative tasks.

The challenges each focus on a different subjects including: food technology (cooking skills), maths (problem solving), science (nutrition and plants), design and technology and art and design (producing 2D and 3D works), physical education (active play) and PSHE/PSE/health and wellbeing (healthy eating and appreciating other cultures).
