Here are some of my favorites:
Hanukkah is super early this year. In fact, it's happening now! Be sure to download this Hanukkah Game Board. It can be used with skills that need practicing: math facts, sight words, and task cards. Just do a card, check, and roll your way around the game board.
Holiday Fluency Sample is a fun way to practice reading phrases. With holiday words, of course!
This is my favorite holiday activity. It focuses on classic holiday music and the storyline that goes along with it. Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker includes suggestions on which music to play with each part of the storyline. It's a great visualization exercise, and the kids absolutely love it! Yes, even the boys! How can you miss it when the setting is the Kingdom of Sweets? (I've done this every year for at least 15 years!)
This is what my students are working on tomorrow: Acts of Kindness Countdown gives the kids a chance to count down the days until Christmas and enjoy the joy of giving at the same time. Plus, everything they give is free!
The two resources below are NOT free, but are totally worth it!
I had to include my newest resources, though this one isn't free. December Holidays: True or False Boom Digital Task Cards. This digital resource allows students to practice reading skills while learning about holidays around the world. Boom Learning digital task cards are easy to use, perfect for remote or distance learning, and fun for the students!
And here's another new one that's very popular with the children! Boom Learning December General Knowledge Trivia Questions and Enrichment
The December holidays are great fun for the students and an excuse for fun learning!
