One of my favourite festive resources is this 'Santa's Reindeer' resource from Michael Sharman

Here's a print screen of the resource...
The idea of the activity is that each of Santa's Reindeer make a series of noises associated with their number. Each noise corresponds to a number fact (multiples, factors, greater than, lower than etc) and students have to work out which Reindeer is which number between 1-16.
I also give my students a grid of all 16 numbers and the number facts they need to use to help them formalise their workings. They use the grid as a tick sheet to tick off whether the numbers adhere to the number facts or not.
This resource is one of many featured in the TES Mathematics 'Maths at Christmas' collection.
