Sinterklaas

St Nicholas’ Eve

Now that Sinterklaas is in the country again, everyone is of course looking forward to the parcel night! This is not only celebrated in the Netherlands, but also in America, Australia and China, for example. Fortunately, Sinterklaas always sends some Piets around the world, so that all Dutch children receive their gifts on December 5th.

Games

Sinterklaas is the first family celebration in those wonderfully cozy winter months. In the Sinterklaas time you have time for each other and (board) games also go with that. On this website you will find a selection of fun board games that you can do at home with children (but also in the classroom) around Sinterklaas time; for example Sinterklaas memory, quartet and goose board. Enough games for many hours of family fun.

Dutch for Kids wishes you a happy Sinterklaas celebration with each other, all over the world!
