If you don’t want to participate in a gift giving game please just turn up to enjoy a drink and some snacks. The sign up lists are on the board in the Staff Room.
1. “Yankee Swap” (like the previous 3 years)
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle …. Regift!
- Sign up (by Thursday 10th December at the latest)
- Find something in your home that someone else could use – something worth around 80 rmb if bought brand-new.

- Attach a note to the wrapped gift which gives a clue who the gift is suitable for.
- For example: ‘for some quiet time’ (and it might be tea and a book) or ‘for a romantic evening’ (candles and bubble bath…)
- Bring your wrapped gift for an unknown recipient to school on December 11th and place under the tree. The rules of the swapping game will be explained on the day.
